| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, My goat was not gotten. But it would be fair to say I did over-react. That is because I am so electro-ecstatic with the system as it currently sounds that I took the opportunity to brag a bit. I do concede that ESLs tend to roll off af... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy The concept of "belt creep" and what to do about it is not mine intellectually. This phenomenon was first described to me and to anyone else who read it by Mark Kelly. Mark played at designing a bd tt to combat it. The Artemis is a less complex so... | |
| Sirius and Walker Dear Vicks and Hiho, I have to admit I find this thread entertaining in a perverse sort of way. What would be the motive to denigrate the Sirius? It's not even any longer in production and is so lofty in cost as to be more of a theory to most of u... | |
| Retip Transfiguration Orpheus Now THAT's an irreplaceable part, the brain.Sorry to read about this. I have an idea that I would like the Orpheus and have often thought about trying to find a used one. (I am allergic to the NOS cost.) | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Use of a capstan, etc, or any strategy that increases the area of contact between the belt and the platter is a good way to combat "belt creep", the bete noir of belt-drive tt's. This is why I am skeptical about 2- and 3-motor arrangements; of nec... | |
| Analog is the new pink I am putting together a bunch of jazz LPs of which I own duplicate copies to give to my 29-year-old nephew. Last time I visited his home in Michigan, I was happily surprised to see a turntable in a small cabinet system. He actually remarked that t... | |
| Technics SP-10 + SME 3009 S2 Improved Tim, Hypothetically, he could have adjusted the voltage out of the outboard power supply. There are 3 DC voltages supplied to the main chassis via the umbilical, and each can be adjusted separately, as you probably know. However, the OP has not cl... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? The AF products look beautiful, no doubt about it. Beauty is what they are selling and rightfully so. However, I really do not think that they have a bunch of physicists working for them who scientifically calculated the design of the plinth so as... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This issue was mentioned earlier in the eternal thread; after 20-30 years on the shelf, the compliance of an actual sample of any MM, especially if NOS, may be quite a bit lower than the advertised value. Give it time and use and maybe it will loo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Alex7333, If you have a Cardas test LP, bands 2a thru 2c are excellent for breaking in a cartridge. At the end of band 2c, the cartridge is prevented from going further across the LP; you have to lift it at that point and re-start it at the beginn... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Wow! I got a lot of people excited with my seeming anti-supertweeter sentiment. My decision-making is purely based on what makes me happy in my listening room. While I concede that a super-tweeter can add "something" to the extreme high frequencie... | |
| Tube table top radios Dear Al, You've sent me off looking on ebay for art deco style tube radios. I even considered bidding on one, but I know nothing about the value system. I love tubes and I love art deco style, so it's a natural for me. I really liked a Crosley tab... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I actually re-heated my morning coffee by placing it squarely in line with a laser beam from the Timeline whilst it was rotating on my Mk3 which was playing a Wagnerian opera using an old Decca spherical stylus cartridge that tracks at 4 gm..... J... | |
| Tube table top radios If you want new and are taken by 60s nostalgia, I can recommend the solid state Tivoli Model One radio, which is a dead ringer for the KLH table radio that everyone owned in the 60s. After looking at them in other people's homes for years, I just ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy We interrupt this program for one comment on tt speed accuracy: For those of you who have been holding your breath for a report on the speed accuracy of my SP10 Mk3, results are in: Perfect! I am so relieved I am going to sit down now with a stiff... |
