| TriPlanar Tips Dan_ed, Are you a dealer or a manufacturer? Just trying to understand the genesis of your pique.Swampwalker, That neighbor to whom you refer owns my old pair of Sound Lab U2s. He since had them upgraded to "PX" status at substantial additional exp... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Skos, You are preaching to the converted. I am a confirmed DD junkie. I still do like my highly modified Lenco, however. I was unable to test it with the Timeline, because the spindle hole in the Timeline is too small to admit the spindle of ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I guess in the best of all possible worlds, your turntable's speed irregularity would combine with your LPs off-center spindle hole to give you perfect pitch.Thanks, Peter, for your further description. Banpuku, Have you looked at the TT Weights r... | |
| Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing Dave, You forgot to add, "Bahdum-dum", a la Law and Order. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David, Are you listening to and liking the AT150ANV? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Al, Why do we care about RF? This is an MM phono cartridge that is probably not doing anything at those frequencies. If RF is picked up spuriously, then all bets are off, I guess. But it's not like bypassing an IC or similar, where we do want the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Can't edit my last post, but I meant to add that your comments make me think of a third alternative, mount no resistor on the PCB and all loading is done from the switch. Thus one is not paralleling resistors, if that could raise issues. There are... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Al. Much of what you say are reasons why I have hesitated to install the switch. Obviously, any such set-up will add some noise, even just the switch itself. I had planned originally to keep the 100K load resistor in place on the PCB, wher... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ideally, one wants two controls, one for R and a separate and independent one for C. Many vintage preamplifiers provided both. I just don't have room for two ELMAs on the rear of my MM phono stage, so I will have to make some educated guesses as t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks everyone for your informative responses.Dlaloum, How do you "measure the frequency response" of your MM cartridges, meaning what tools do you use for that? I am inclined to be lazy and just go by my subjective "feeling". Thus I "feel" that ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Ecir. I know how to calculate the values, and I have already decided to use an ELMA 12-pole stereo switch that I bought from M Percy and which I know will fit nicely at the rear of my MM phono stage. My question was really about what value... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, If you are the buyer, why should the (German) seller hate the Paypal fees, if you presumably pay them? I only hate the fees when I am the buyer and have to pay them. In any case, the time is ripe for Paypal to have a competitor who charge... | |
| market value??? There are not enough of those around, the DP45F, specifically, to establish a "market value", so there really can be no answer to your question. In the end, I think your unit would sell faster than a unit that is sold with no guarantee of conditio... | |
| Sota Sapphire & Lenco 75.. Just to be more clear, when I wrote that the Lenco with everything properly adjusted but still in its stock box chassis would outperform the Sota Sapphire, I meant table vs table. IMO, the Lenco tonearm is best avoided. The Acos is a very good upg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Do you mean to say that you hold 100K as a constant and vary only the added capacitance? That would be fine by me, but I was given to understand from certain posts by Dlaloum and Timeltel and perhaps others that there are cartridges that... |
