| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, Nikola, you got me. I am guilty of all you say. But I don't own a Glanz cartridge and never heard one. And from my ~10 cartridges, I would probably keep six of them, not just the Grace Ruby. I believe Casanova would have said, "Love the one ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I bid 2 bucks above his minimum opening bid and thought for sure that I would never win it, but that was all I was willing to pay for a Ruby that needs a rebuild. To my surprise, no one topped my offer. I think I have the addiction under control i... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Audioquest, On the Asylum, I am "Lew". You can also contact me by finding my ad here for selling a pair of Sound Lab M1 stat panels, has my cell phone number too. | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I looked it up, too. Life could have been simpler if they just made a direct-drive turntable instead, the new politically correct term for which is "magnetic drive". Why bother with the belt at all? If one insists on the ultimate in isolation, the... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Travis has a DP100. But where is Travis (aka T_bone)? | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? "If you dont listen to them, why have them?" I keep mine because having them affords me the possibility of listening to them "some day". And it very often does happen that I go delving in to shelves that have not been disturbed in quite a while in... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, By using the phrase "flavor of the month" or similar, I for one do not mean to dismiss the particular cartridges that got that label. Most all of them that i have been able to sample are in fact superb. My point is that one can live happily w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, The Grace Ruby and the Grace F9E are different animals, so all I can say is that I am glad you are happy. If I luck into an Astatic, I will give one a try. But I am not depressed about not owning one. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dover, I think my response to you was too harsh. I apologize. Denon DP80 uses a 3-phase AC synchronous motor and also uses a quartz-referenced servo. Speed is monitored via a tapehead that "reads" the inner rim of the platter as it rotates. Knowin... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hiho, Lets keep in mind that what you quote from the Brinkmann website is a commercial, full of blather with a sprinkling of fact. Like many politicians, they set up a "straw man" controversy in order to show how their product "solves" the problem... | |
| Through with Buzz. THAT is a tough one. Is there a correlation with your physically touching the tonearm? If not, consider that there could be a ground wire perhaps in your tonearm that gets shorted out when the tonearm lifts off the LP. Look for a loose wire. | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Experience taught me that Raul is right. So I stopped accumulating LPs once I reached ~2000. It took my 35 years to get there. Of course I do buy an LP or two here and there these days. I would guesstimate that no more than 100 LPs get 90% of the ... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? I never was a big Shure V15 fan. So I think there are many MMs that would better it, including nearly all that have been mentioned, but this is only my opinion. Obviously there are others who disagree, which should indicate to you that you should ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Dover, You wrote, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the need for servos because DC motors inherently do not respond in of themselves to changes in loads." OK. You are wrong. First you are wrong because your statement carries the assumption ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Dear MG, I am a bit confused. Are the FMD and the TMD two different things? Sounds like you are saying that the FMD is a later development of TMD(?) Thanks for any info. |
