| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Good one! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, Why not just add a weight, if that was your only objection to the TP? One can easily increase the effective mass of any tonearm, not easy to go in the other direction. I agree with you that "medium mass" tonearms are neither here nor there ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, I respect your opinion regarding headshells. However, have you ever taken a good look at the construction of some of the modern very highly regarded tonearms that do not allow for interchangeable headshells? Many of them, especially the woo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman, This is by nature second-hand information, but nowhere have I ever read that F8 and F9 are similar, with respect to performance. Can you quote your source on that? If I owned both, I would listen to each and make my decision based on my own... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, Glad you are pleased. I am quite sure that the CU180 would be a big upgrade vs the OEM rubber mat. (Almost any not-rubber mat would be, I think.) Albert will speak for himself if he disagrees, but I do think he now uses the Boston Audio... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Raul,I have no dog in this fight, but I would point out two things in response to your long post:(1) In part, It is certainly possible that integrated designs went away back in the 80s mostly because phono itself was on the wane and the latest and... | |
| anyone happy with Breuer tonearm? experiences? Dear Generankin, With due respect, and, I hope, a sense of humor, why didn't that incident make you think that you must have an unusually good telephone? By far, the phone link was the limiting factor in that situation. | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dear Nicola, I assumed nothing except that I thought it was you who recognized a similarity between Glanz MF51 and Astatic MF200. I have never even seen any Glanz or Astatic cartridge in the flesh. Apparently I was wrong about your opinion. Sorry.... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Wait, Nicola, didn't you start out by saying that the Glanz MF51 appeared identical to the MF (FM?) 200?If so, then Glanz MF51 = Astatic MF200 = Glanz 5. Clearly, something is rotten in Denmark. | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dear Dgob, I just visited your system site. I see that your "other" cartridges are also MM or MI types, albeit some of the very best ones. I wonder what has been your experience with LOMC types, especially given that you own a very fine MC phono s... | |
| Newbie to analog Budget?Does your preamp or integrated amplifier have built-in phono, or do you have to buy a phono stage within your stated budget? | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Dear Philjolet,In response to Sbrownnw's question regarding the quality of the piano reproduction on his jazz LPs, you wrote the following:"my guess is that you are hearing the vintage equipment they recorded them with (vintage vacuum tube sound)"... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 360 Modena or Berlinetta Boxer can be had for less than $100K, these days. Cheaper than a Continuum Caliburn.I love the Modena, too, but I fear the cost of service and maintenance. | |
| Ayre DPS Bauer vs Artemis Labs Add a good motor controller to the Hyperspace, and you will also experience a major epiphany. I used a Walker Audio MC on mine and was quite surprised and amazed at what it does; I had been very skeptical prior to hearing the difference in my own ... | |
| General comments on SOTA Al, Do you agree that the classic Papst tt motor is DC? If so, I have been laboring under the delusion that they were AC. But since I have never owned a tt with a Papst motor, the consequences to me of my ignorance are nil. My oldest and dearest a... |
