| 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... | |
| Upgrades to Analog System I agree with Syntax. Rhea was a bit disappointing to me, altho I heard it in someone else's system. I have also heard the Signature version, in the same system, and it is a lot better. However, the cost of the upgrade might not be justified, since... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think the manufacturers realized that endorsing the idea of directionality was yet another good way to promote the sale of $50 fuses; if direction makes a difference, then surely all the other associated less controversial mumbo jumbo makes sens... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, You make a good point; I have no idea either why fuses on the AC line make such a difference, but "silver" and "cryo" are part of the audiophile mantra. We believe in those twin gods, don't we? What's even crazier, not to say much crazi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fuses are generally used for good safety reasons. To bypass a fuse with a wire, silver or otherwise, requires some solid knowledge of what you are doing and the possible negative consequences. Sometimes, it can be done safely. Most of the time, no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? To you guys and any other BAT amplifier users, I have six matched pairs of NOS 6C33Cs, selected by and purchased from Victor Khomenko of BAT, himself, about 10 years ago. They are available for sale. I originally bought them, because my own Atma-s... | |
| Help: Replacement Caps Advise Sounds like you need an electrolytic capacitor, all of which are polar, as Jallen infers. Very good ones include very large ones made by Mundorf (which may in fact be nonpolar; I forget) and more reasonable size polar ones made by Panasonic (TS-ED... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Rsf507, I agree with you, speed instability is most easily detected while listening to piano music, for anyone who has ever played the instrument or who has a decent sense of pitch. (I studied piano for several years, and I am an amateur jazz sing... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I try to keep an open mind on issues such as boutique fuses. My reading led me to believe that the possible benefits might be related to (1) a ceramic body, rather than a glass one, and (2) silver, or some other metal combined with silver, as a co... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Rsf507, Do you mean to say that you can perceive perfect speed accuracy without the aid of any measuring device? (This is different from saying you have a perfect sense of pitch, which may well be the case.) With all respect, I doubt it, but maybe... |
