| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Larry, Now I think of it, I do believe I have seen other posts of yours re the Beveridge speakers. In fact, I had counted you as a big fan when I was making my buying decision. (We may even have spoken on the phone.) They are purely an interesting... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Nikola, What's a "magnetic Reed"? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I don't suppose you've read Nikola's posts wherein he has censured me for having a pair of Beveridge 2SWs in my basement that I am not using. (I want to rebuild the amplifiers first.) Personally, I consider the language available to us to describe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lawrence, You made a statement suggesting that your system had the capability to re-create something approaching the sound of live music in your home. Along the way you intimated that most of the rest of us fall short in that area (despite th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So post your system. | |
| Getting granite tomorrow. I realize now I should not use the term "dense" to describe the material mentioned above, since that suggests high weight per unit volume. In fact, it is very light in weight per unit volume. | |
| Getting granite tomorrow. A few years ago, I hired a water-jet company to cut some slate slabs for me in order to make turntable plinths (for my own use, only). During one of my visits, I noted that they had stacks of very dense yet very light styrofoam-like slabs lying ar... | |
| Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby? Raul is correct about Be. But nearly all heavy metals are toxic, if enough of any one of them enters one's system. Some, like Be, more than others, like boron, of course. I was originally just jesting as regards the tiny size of a cantilever in re... | |
| Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby? I wonder what is the human toxic dose of boron, in terms of cubic cantilevers. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Montepilot, Thanks for your further response. You have a very nice system that is obviously very capable of reproducing the fine detail of which you speak. On my way home from work today, I was thinking like Banquo. I was wondering, could you tell... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Montepilot,Thanks for your careful description of your experience. To continue in Halcro's line of thinking, what linestage (if any), what amplifiers, and what speakers? For that matter, what turntable? But I guess the point is that if you ca... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, I am not going to say you are categorically "wrong" in some of what you wrote above, but just to say that my set of facts about the 980LZS are different from yours. First, my 980LZS came with an OEM D98S stylus, which is much more of a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? By the way, Raul, what on earth prevents you from revealing the identity of the LOMC that has you so excited? Do you think naming it would cause a stock market crash? We are mature enough to deal with the information without serious consequences t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Albert, I did a search to find the specs of the 980LZS. Apparently the internal resistance is only 3 ohms, which makes it suitable to drive even a 100R load resistor, and in fact I may have tried that with good results, now I think about it. (My 9... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Albert, I would be very careful if using a SUT with the 980 to be sure that you don't end up with a load impedance that is too low for it to work properly. (I am now forgetting what Stanton recommends.) But I think these low output MMs presen... |
