| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, I am interested to hear the Salvation. I am already convinced that the Terminator is a great audio bargain, if you can put up with the fussiness of any air-bearing tonearm. However, I would take issue with your hypothesis that whatever it ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Peter, I hate to be a pain in the arse, but you wrote, "I found that the Fieldpiece readings were not repeatable and by just moving the device closer to or further away from the platter, the reading changed, though I know the platter speed re... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Does the tonearm hold stable azimuth all across an LP? | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Guys, don't you think it's possible for music in a good hall to sound crisp AND for a given cartridge to over-exaggerate the leading edge of transients, moreso than in nature (or in a great concert hall)? Both propositions can be correct.Sadly and... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge The unique ability to pick up the trailing edge or the decay of musical instruments is exactly what I find so appealing about some of the best MM cartridges I have been playing with for the past year. I especially hear this on solo piano music wit... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Stereophile and a random collection of persons who post their views here and elsewhere on the internet are about equally credible. Meaning both should be taken with a grain of salt, and neither is a substitute for direct experience.I have joked ab... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No. I like sapphires and have bought her a few. Just for the color. Looks good on her. Also, a potential source for cantilevers, if civilization collapses. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I too asked Dover what turntable he currently favors, but the question remains unanswered. I suspect that Dover does not want to get into an argument about direct-drive vs some other technology that he may favor, and I don't blame him. I can only ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Tell that to my wife. Raul, Thanks. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have two Grace Ruby. One you know I like a lot. The other came to me with no cantilever at all, and was priced commensurately. I am thinking of sending it to Axel. Did you guys get a ruby cantilever from Axel, or can he do ruby? I would like to ... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question That's pretty funny, actually. The main reason I am tempted by the Dobbins approach is that it allows a much wider choice of tonearms. The stock Mk3 chassis gets in the way of most 9-inch tonearms, and on the wide sides (rear and left) one would b... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question If it comes to that, I like what Steve Dobbins did to Mike Lavigne's Mk3, removing the motor entirely from its chassis and imbedding it in a solid plinth. I would be reluctant to do that with my Mk3 for fear of diminishing its value, and because i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, David. It is interesting to note that in the ad copy there is no mention whatever of the technology (MM vs MC), but they take pains to mention the boron cantilever. I fooled myself into thinking the cartridges were MM because of the naming... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Saw an ad in the latest TAS for the Cadenza series of Ortofon cartridges. Seems that these are high-priced MM cartridges. The Black is the top of the line and costs $2500. Could it be that we have started something with cartridge-makers who now ma... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Thanks, Albert. I thought I had been told that there were some mods to the outboard PS associated with your upgrades. I was obviously misinformed, or my memory is playing tricks. Is "Richard" the guy who invented or first devised the beneficial mo... |
