| Turntable speed accuracy Albert, Will talk to Bill this week on that subject, I hope.I guess there is not much juice left in this topic. Here's a tidbit. I noticed someone on Vinyl Asylum out up a URL for a new line of turntables, made by a company called "George Warren".... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, I tend to think you can trust Steve's (Vetterone's) judgement. He is a pro, and he says he has done it for many different MMs. But read his instruction carefully (I am saying this to myself as well as to you); just a tiny drop in a f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean, I guess some are tight and some are loose. There's a joke in there somewhere, but I am not trying to find it. Someone else sent me a long directive on how he actually does major surgery on Stantons to correct the loose fit. It involved ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, Yes, I think of our friend Raul as a GPI, while I walk through the forest of vintage cartridges. He tells us where we are.Dear Raul, I take your point about distortions, but for me it is a distinction without a difference. I take it ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Citizen Steve, By the term "stylus holder", do you refer to the "stylus assembly", the entire element that comes out when one removes the stylus from the "body"? I found a similar strategy worked very well with my Stanton 980LZS. Apparently S... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, Did you listen to the Acutex LPM420? If not, perhaps you should open one up and give it a try. It is not a given that the opinions of others will govern your results. Raul got into this MM stuff by having an open mind and by disregard... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Franz, Unless the bearing of the Clarify CF is radically different from that of the Clarify, I don't know why you would even consider it, given your experience with the latter (and assuming you correctly assessed the cause of the problem). Th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tom, I bought a second Grace Ruby that is really like new except for the small detail that its cantilever was wiped out along with the stylus. I intend to have it rebuilt, most likely by SoundSmith. As you may know, they offer a ruby cantilever... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think it boils down to the fact that what you hear when listening to a record is the sum of a myriad of factors that govern the sound quality. And to make it more complex, those factors interact with each other in unpredictable ways. Therefore, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You bet it is, Nikola. Sadly, the wife is not a follower and will not accept quotes from Sartre or even Kierkegaard as an excuse. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I sent him a private email about 10 days ago but have had no response. He recently moved from Tokyo to Hong Kong, but he was communicating with me even during the packing and moving phase. He should be stabilized by now in HK.It may be overly simp... | |
| Talea Arm: What cartridges are best? Cdk84, None, other than the ZYX Uni. That constitutes my lifetime experience listening to the Talea in a home system where I "know" quite well all the other elements of the system. I also heard the Talea at RMAF with A90, I think. I will make no j... | |
| Help with my analog rig. In a single-ended system, there are many sources of hum. Tubes per se are usually NOT one of them. You probably have a ground loop somewhere. Try ungrounding some of the items that are now grounded. You don't tell us much about that. Have you grou... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I too apologize if I offended Melbguy, but I think of Aussies as tough people, assuming his moniker indicates he is from Melbourne. I note that Melbguy opened this thread a year ago with a question, asking for a comparison of Transrotor to Brinkma... | |
| Talea Arm: What cartridges are best? ZYX UNIverse/copper/0.24mV sounded exceptional (meaning compared to every tonearm/cartridge I ever heard) on a Talea. |
