| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Yes, I guess S/N would have an effect on whether one would prefer to use the highest gain available from the phono stage or set it to lower gain and use a SUT. I am SUT-less myself, never owned one. My revised Atma-sphere MP1 phono has, if anythin... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Tim, It goes to what we talked about in the plinth thread. IMO, you need some way to appose the tendency for the whole chassis to want to rotate in the opposite direction from the platter, again described in the statement of the Third Law of Motio... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? We have a local jazz DJ who says every Sunday on his show that "jazz is the sound of surprise". For me that perfectly captures why I love jazz. I still have a childish love of surprise. So, when I hear "Waltz for Debby" for the umpteenth time (tha... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I think the Mk2 mod can be had also, at this time and for much less cost. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sarcher and Pryso, Albert is ecstatic about the new modifications, but he really did not know much about what was done. I then talked to Bill about it. Mostly it is about dampening vibrations and firming up the stator supports. Bill notes that as ... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I didn't mean to belittle you for your enthusiasm. It is a great recording, indeed. I was just making a very personal and therefore irrelevant statement about that specific piece. However, it definitely should be in anyone's collection who is inte... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Don, I instinctively agree with you. But the fact is that the vinyl either does or does not contain ferrous particles that are or are not magnetizable. These are questions that can be resolved, up or down. I am curious to learn whether there is an... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Dear Sonofjim, I went from an SAEC SS300 to the Boston Audio Mat2 on my Mk3. Both are good, but I do slightly prefer the BA. Both are far superior to the factory rubber mat, for sure. I could envision that with certain tonearm/cartridges, the SAEC... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Dear Goofy, What you need to find out is what is the rated gain of the phono stage via the MC inputs. What you quoted is just advertising fluff. Somewhere somehow they must also report the gain capability. However, just based on the fact that it i... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Yes, but I am so sick of "Waltz for Debby". Fortunately just about every tune Bill Evans ever played is worth a listen. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sarcher, I agree. Carry on. There are many others who do the same as you, so obviously the net results cannot be so terrible, in fact must be good. | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Goofy, MC cartridges are typically classified as "High Output" (HO) or "Low Output" (LO). LO is loosely defined as something less than 1.0mV at 5cm/sec. (This is not written in stone.) Most of the mono MCs under discussion here have an output some... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel, Two comments: (i) The price of that 4500S stylus is why I went ahead to purchase the NOS 981LZS; for only about $100 more, I get a whole new cartridge AND a correct NOS D98S stylus. (ii) Regarding your son who thinks "loan" means "g... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Addendum: The critical word in my first sentence was omitted by me: "If the CU180 weighs 4 lbs, I personally would HESITATE to use it..." Sorry for the caps. | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? All of the above. Also, Tommy Flanagan, Errol Garner, McCoy Tyner, and Bud Powell. And..... the list is long. Did anyone mention Thelonius? |
