| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have read elsewhere, on DIYaudio I think, that the Dueland resistors are naught but lead pencils dressed up to sell for a lot of money. It might be interesting to try to make some resistors using pencil lead. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thanks, Banquo, for going to the source. I won't understand the design unless or until I see a good engineering drawing of his bearing, nevertheless. I got nothing from his description, but he is to be credited for trying. In a sense, I agree with... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, It is possible that one would have different preferences for resistors used in tube circuits vs resistors used in transistor circuits, because one is high voltge and the other low voltage, as a rule. Since you and I operate respectively in t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This may have been said already.IMO, Vishay nudes handily outperform the S102s.Best sounding Caddock are the TF020 series with MK second, would use TF for phono load but not MK.I also like Audio Note tantalum very much and would like to try these ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I see it now. Thx. That is one heckuva pod. Still would like to know the name of this table and who makes it, not that I am in the market. Does it really retail for $150K, as H implied? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Henry, What tt is that? It's impossible to be certain that the arm pod is indeed independent of the tt, from that angle of view. | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I have reserved a room and paid the registration fee but am still waffling on whether to attend. But if I do, it will be to take away LPs as much as anything else, so I would not be bringing any. I will listen to yours, Dre. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thuchan, When you start to believe that your church is the "one true way", you will know you have a real church. Which is why I stay away from all of them. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear David,What is heaven?What is hell? | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Ideas why cartridge/tonearm mating may defy the predictions:(1) The compliance of the actual cartridge sample could vary significantly from what the manufacturer has published, especially if the cartridge has aged.(2) Many systems cannot reproduce... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Greeks and Romans had it right. They had a god for every situation. That's the way to do it. Polytheism. I recently moved from the Temple of Beltdriveus to worship at the Temples of Idleriae and Directdriveus. (Beltdriveus is the son of Idleri... | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Been thinking about these cartridges. How on earth could Ortofon take the position that they cannot or won't rebuild the A90? Do they mean to tell its owners that they spent ca $4000 for a cartridge that has a life span only equal to that of its s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Since you are our resident philosopher and linguist, I am surprised to see that you define an atheist as one who does not belong to any church. We generally think of an atheist as one who does not believe in any god. Those are two differe... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws "heavy arm = low compliance cartridge, light arm = high compliance cartridge"Yes, that is a mantra of the internet that I read very often, too. As I am sure you know, that formula is meant to set the low frequency resonance at a frequency between ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, I have read not one word that persuades me that I am missing something important by denuding a turntable or using an armpod. Not one person has my equipment or anything like it, or my turnables tonearms cartridges or has done a real "ex... |
