| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, FYI the rear tonearm mount on the L07D can be made as large as one wants (which means it can project to the rear of the turntable as far as one's shelving will permit) when in the first place one is making a new mount on a custom basis. A... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, I guess the very same reproduction version of the B60 was or is sold both on eBay and on Audiogon, so I imagine you bought the same product I bought. I noticed it is pretty "stiff" to adjust the height, but how did you change the lubrican... | |
| Lenco L75 tonearm compatibility There is really no limit to what tonearm you can use with the Lenco, The turntable, when properly refurbished and mounted, can reveal very subtle differences among very expensive tonearms. I would think more about what cartridge(s) you will use, a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? One reason I am "married" to the fuses in fuse-holders is that I measure plate current across the empty fuse-holder, after removing the fuses. I then can adjust each output tube for equal current and the whole output stage for near zero DC offset.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, The question is whether expensive silver fuses are a "cure without a disease", when it comes to the AC line. For fusing output tubes, as in my rare case, I think a high quality fuse element is worth the effort. There must be formulae availa... | |
| What Sets Price on Turntables? The MMC20CL in good shape is worth more than $200, alone.It can be re-tipped for much less than $650, if and when needed. There are others in the re-tip business besides Sound Smith.Buconero, Unless I am mistaken, the Shure 97 is not a P mount typ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, You do have a point; my ESL panels have a step-up transformer, so it might be safe to do away with the fuse, but I believe that the fuse also protects the circuit of the amplifier.Direct-drive OTL for Sound Lab has been discussed ad nauseam... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, In an OTL amplifier there is nothing between the output tube and the speaker. Therefore, if an output tube arcs over or otherwise fails catastrophically, there is real potential for speaker damage. By far most output tubes commonly use... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If anyone here has a blown $59 fuse, I will donate an Acme fuse so we can cut them in half and find out indeed whether there is any difference at all between them. I am curious. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Perhaps it is you who should tell me what is the difference between one silver/ceramic/cryo-treated fuse that costs $16 and another silver/ceramic/cryo-treated fuse that costs $59. Pixie dust? (Just kidding.) For me, the Acme fuses are an ex... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Syntax, Thanks for putting this foolishness in perspective and for the laughs. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Steve, Glad you have come to enjoy the L07D. Does the TT101 have coreless motor? I would have guessed that it has a Denon-like motor, i.e., iron core. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Funny.Except in this case the added part is the most relevant part.Or maybe not; in both cases the body is slave to the addenda. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, So I gather that (for $500?), SS sells an entire stylus cum cantilever assembly for the Grace? What bothers me about that is the fact that one is replacing not only the stylus, cantilever, and associated suspension, but also the male part of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Perhaps vdH is more fascinated with the beautiful women of the Ukraine than he is with repairing another Colibri. Who can blame him?It was slowly dawning on me that Axel was raising his prices. Now that Nicola mentions "400 Euro", I am both flabbe... |
