| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dlaloum,Needle Doctor carries replacement stylus for TLZ, for $250! I asked them whether this stylus assembly is (1) true NOS (a leftover from the old days, in other words), (2) made currently by Grado as retrofit for TLZ cartridge, or (3) an afte... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thekong has a good point. Here is where art and science intersect. Ideally, you want the LP to be completely inert and for all mechanical energy put into it by stylus motion to be drained away so as not to come back to the stylus tip after resonat... | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? I agree with Viridian. | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Can anyone direct me to the post by T_bone (Travis)? He and I were in direct email contact for a couple of years. Last year, he told me he was moving to Hong Kong from Tokyo. I was in touch with him during the moving process, and now he seems to h... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Nandric, "some LOMC's are better than whatever MM cart there are".Would you let anyone else get away with such a permeable blanket statement? I think not. Anyway, in defense of Henry, I am sure he means that among cartridges he owns or has heard i... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable As I mentioned previously, I tend not to like clamps and rings. Like anything else, damping can be overdone at the expense of lifelike qualities. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Guys, I was under the impression that the MM cognoscenti had rapidly moved past the Acutex 420, following its appearance and then disappearance in the market place. I know that Raul was not enchanted by it and seemed to far prefer his "blunt nose"... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Redglobe, I ask this question in all sincerity, not to be facetious. How could we imagine that the Resomat can "minimize transmission of noise to the stylus"? I guess it could do so by failing to transmit bearing and motor noise. On the other... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, It is great to note your enthusiasm, and as Dave G knows, I share your admiration for the Terminator tonearm, but your technical explanations of why the Salvation is superior to other turntables, particularly belt driven ones, fall flat. I... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Nandric, Who said I can't dance? Baryshnikov?I have been wondering how those few "in the know" would compare the other Holy Grail of no longer available cartridges, the Technics 100C MkIV, to the Mk7f. But that is OT, and I apologize for bringing ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Redglobe, The TT Weights turntables of which these guys are speaking ARE rim drive types, so their comments are not really OT. Plus, it ain't your thread. It might be interesting for someone in the know to dissect the differences between Salvation... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Henry, You are in Positano? A very attractive women whom I met on a train only two days ago was on her way to JFK airport to catch a flight to.... Positano, Italy. Look for her, very short blond hair cut like a man's, mid-40s, the rest of her defi... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation It would take a truly annoying cartridge to reverse the romantic slant of the other stuff in your signal chain is perhaps a simpler way of re-stating my thesis. The most neutral cartridges I have heard are the TOTL Transfiguration cartridges, the ... | |
| ok to break in phono preamp w/ non lp source? Albert, Thanks so much for letting us know about that KAB device. It seems to be quite a bargain at the price. I just ordered one.As to the OP's question, the output of a CDP would drastically overload the input of any MC phono section and probabl... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Bill, If you have been in the hobby that long AND you are a dealer, it is no wonder that you are crotchety. Spirit, Readers should keep in mind that the benefits of the Terminator 3Pro are accessible to most without having to use the Salvation tur... |
