| When a Reviewer "likes" something Manitunc, This isn't "60 Minutes". We're just a bunch of guys shooting the crap. No one but us really gives a hoot what we write here. I have heard the stories of reviewers hanging on to equipment sent for review purposes for my entire 35-year aud... | |
| tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75 Mate the arm to the cartridge. The Lenco will do the rest. Just make sure that your chosen tonearm can be mounted on your chosen Lenco. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Dear French fries, I think you stepped in it when you inferred that lots of dollars should buy lots of power "for most speakers". That reasoning is flawed on many levels. Still, I take your point that $5000 is a lot of money for an amplifier.Dear ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Manitunc, One of the well known reviewers for HFNRR, the Brit magazine, was several years ago "caught" for taking payola (money or something of value as compensation for a favorable review). Aside from that instance, you are correct; there are no ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something The last decent underground print magazine was The Listener, and now its creator (Art Dudley) writes for S'phile. At least he hasn't changed in his predilections. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nicola,Thank you for your comment about SoundSmith. But perhaps you misunderstood me. I have all the proper B&O hardware to mount my MMC1 in a conventional headshell. My lament is that said hardware "sucks", as Frege might have put it, if... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Syntax asks some good questions. The way I see it, Gordon Holt and later Harry Pearson were both very sincere observers of what Harry first called "the high end". I don't believe either of them had a commercial bias, and Gordon Holt got in trouble... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I was reading above your remarks about the B&O MMC1 and 2. I own an MMC1. I am deep in thought about ways in which to strengthen its structure, especially when used in a conventional headshell. I think we are only able retrieve 60% ... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V I am curious to know the cost of the upgrade. However, it is none of my business, if you do not care to disclose the amount. | |
| Brinkmann TT with an SME arm - any experiences? If you have a cartridge that works "perfectly" with an SME V, then by all means use an SME V. The tonearm/cartridge match is far more critical than the tonearm/turntable match. | |
| TT stopping in midstream of playback? Perplexed. If I understand this correctly, your turntable is behaving much like a computer that momentarily loses power; it shuts down and does not come back up after AC power is restored until you hit the "on" switch. Thus I bet you have an intermittent ope... | |
| Zero Antiskate vs Stylus Wear Zen, Wait to you see a wheel. Now THAT's something amazing! | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Ken, Can you describe the remainder of your audio system? Albert mentioned above that you own a very high quality set-up, from front to back. Thx. | |
| Zero Antiskate vs Stylus Wear To complete Raul's explanation, when the distance from the tonearm pivot to the stylus tip (P2T) exceeds the distance from the tonearm pivot to the center of the spindle (P2S), as is the recommended motif for nearly all pivoted tonearms, then you ... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body Dear Lotus, I am not sure what you don't agree with. If you mean to say that you don't agree that the Reed 3P when mated with the Puritas can often result in sibilance, then I of course yield to your superior experience with that combo, of which I... |
