| VPI Classic Azimuth Seems to Change -- Normal?? In which direction did the arm change azimuth? Did the cartridge rotate anti-clockwise? If so, perhaps anti-skate force is a culprit, as Swanny mentioned. You could simply try reducing the anti-skate, as an experiment. | |
| how long should tubes last Try to find out what plate voltage and what current is applied to the output tube. Then you can calculate the plate dissipation in Watts. Then find out what are the manufacturer's suggested max plate voltage, current, and dissipation. If the plate... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dover, Do I perceive an anti-MM bias in your remark? If so, I must have been asleep, because I did not previously appreciate your feelings on the matter. If you prefer MCs, that is one thing, and it's not for me to put you down for that, but ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, To me, that is part of the key also; live sound can be VERY loud and yet not irritating. To the contrary, it can often envelope you in the experience. This is a quality to be sought for in the electronic reproduction of music. When the so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Anyway, I got a kick out of Henry's "Mr Wippy" example. Thanks for the laugh. And he has a good point there; sometimes one can be shockingly wrong about the source of a "real" sounding bit of music. As for an outdoor performance (in Ravenna), all ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Imagine if the "world" were full of "giants". Armageddon. | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Got it. I was wrong. The Io's first gain stage is NOT balanced. Ergo, there is no particular advantage to using the XLR inputs. I knew this was true of their less expensive phono stage, but I obviously thought differently (not to say "differential... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Shurely" I now get it. Next time, I guess use a sledge hammer. Thx. Sorry to be a pedant, but I too was aiming for a laugh. I missed badly apparently.I need Nandric to have 8 tonearms and 26 cartridges, otherwise I might be the champion owner of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds, I am sure Halcro has more than a few question marks that he can spare for you. He may even be willing to trade that last explanation point for a question mark. As for "H"s, I think you should conserve them better.Dear Raul, No arg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That's fine. For my part, I only said that I don't hold the same opinion. For me, vinyl mimics "live" better than digital can mimic "live". For signal to noise ratio and bandwidth, digital can be superior to vinyl, but I am listening for something... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds, You wrote, "Why do CD's sound so similar to are records..." (Presumably you omitted the question mark that would seem to have been appropriate punctiation.) I take huge issue with your premise. I say CDs do NOT sound so similar to... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Dear Oldvinyl, I don't know why it was deleted, but I posted yesterday that I cannot understand why Aesthetix, who took the pains to design and develop the fully balanced phono section in the Io, and who charge a great deal of money for the result... | |
| Best T/T Pods/ wood blocks to eliminate vibrations But Albert's first statement is also correct, IMO. No matter what you do, it is unlikely to protect against a direct rap on certain parts of the plinth and dust cover. The best cure for your stated issue is not to rap on the plinth. Which brings m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, I am not arguing the point you make at all. I was just bringing up the relationship between inductance and DC resistance, upon which you have now amplified.But if it were as simple as that, the idea that low inductance is better, then why d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel and Fleib, Is it not the case that the output resistance of a cartridge and its inductance are intimately related, not to say linearly related? I was under the impression that both were a function of the number of turns of wire in the coi... |
