| Turntables with warm/smooth mids and highs Buconero is correct, IMO.You want (or you should want) your turntable to be as neutral, as "not there", as possible. You can then flavor your music as you like it by your choice of cartridge, tonearm, and/or phono stage. The others are probably co... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, With all due respect, ANY decent turntable should readily reveal important differences in recording qualities among the wide variety of LPs you mention. If not, you've got a problem, but I would first blame it on tonearm/cartridge/phono st... | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? Like Groucho said about Doris Day, "I knew her before she was a virgin." | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? God! The last thing you should want is a "Top Ten" or any sort of rank order. Inevitably anyone's opinion will be only of minor relevance, a guideline at best, in your final determination of what you like best in your system. Indeed, has anyone he... | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? What Fleib and Audiofeil said. But I'd rather do this topic again than Madonna. | |
| Bearing lube for Dynavector tonearm Dear Mink and Ct, there is no detectable binding, just audiophile nervosa. Damper plate is perfectly aligned. I actually think that what I may be sensing is simply the damper plate doing its job; if you swing the horizontal arm manually, at a much... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy God never meant for audiophiles to have a warm and fuzzy moment. If an audiophile is not worried at any given moment, he is compelled to search for something to worry about. Enter, the Timeline. | |
| 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... |
