| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Based only on my reading, which means to say "based on the opinions of others whom I do not even know" (i.e., flimsy logic) and the technical aspects of its design, I would choose the Miyajima Premium Be. The question in my mind is whether one eve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thom, On second reading, I do understand your post, I think. Anyway, 100R does not do justice to the 980LZS in my system. In my friend's system WITH the SUT, the cartridge is seeing about 270R, and that is evidently not sufficient either to b... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, You didn't ask me, but I have used SAEC SS300 and Boston Audio Mat2 on my SP10s. Both are a clear upgrade over the factory rubber mat, but I have come to slightly prefer the Boston Audio. I also use a Mat1 on my Lenco. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, I am sure the Atlas is a great cartridge, at $9500. But for Fremer it is merely his flavor of the month. Don't take it too seriously.Dear Thom, I must confess I cannot make heads or tails out of your post just above Jorsan's on 4-26. ... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Elizabeth, Thanks, but I was not asking for instructions. I was merely pointing out to the OP that he or she needs to know how to use an off the shelf degausser, properly. The product I was trying to think of is the Furutech, where it looks like a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regarding the Stanton 980LZS or the 981LZS: A friend purchased an NOS 981LZS from pickup naalden (Cris). He uses a SUT. Suffice to say that he is not happy with the sound he gets via the SUT. He says it sounds closed in and lacks "transparency". T... | |
| Lenco Restorers in the US? Kbuzz, Try "Lenco parts" or something like that, on eBay. You may conjure up Mirko. | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Blue Skies, there has been at least one good, informative thread on this issue. You may be able to find it by doing a search here. The sum and substance of it was that those who degauss mostly think they can hear a difference. Those who use very e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Froggie, OK. Semantics got in the way of our understanding each other. When you wrote "3D" and based on your subsequent language, I thought you were talking about the 3D image of a trumpet per se. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I never thought about a single instrument having a "3D" aspect. I am satisfied if and when my audio system can give me a sense of the space around that instrument, rather than of its dimensions. For example, the differences among the sounds of tha... | |
| Turning lead into gold ? I believe it is impossible for most of us to make a totally subjective judgement after we have just spent a great deal of money on a new addition to the audio system. Just the fact that you've made the financial commitment will bias you to fall in... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Unoear, You are in a unique position, if you have heard both the Talea 2 and the Supreme in your home system. Can you amplify on the differences between them that you perceive? When you say that the Supreme offers an "out of the way" presentation,... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, I am very glad to hear that you got help from Bill. I feel very fortunate that I can get to his shop from my house in only about 30 minutes, and once I get there, I know absolutely that my equipment is in the best possible place for rep... | |
| Hum, buzz, snap, crackle and pop? Re ICs. Sure. The average Joe hobbyist would not have much chance of replacing a typical IC without destroying the PC board and possibly the replacement IC in the process. This is even assuming that Joe can identify which IC needs replacing. (I am... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Who is Richard? In any case, the point is that you do have technical capability (or rather, your company does) but that you will not supply it to the OP free of charge. Since you are in the audio business, this is perfectly understandable. I'm sti... |
