| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Do you really like the sound of Clearaudio MC cartridges, or is it their "design" and construction? I ask because I have disliked the sound of every single Clearaudio MC that I ever heard, and this includes the Insider Gold (in a Walker... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct, Henry, and anyone else who is disturbed by my occasional digs at your approach to tonearm mounting: Believe me when I say you have my blessings in whatever you do, and I enjoy reading about the construction of the various pods. The fact t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A few responses re your questions to Raul:(1) Is a rating of 5 better or worse than a rating of 6/7? I believe that Raul goes from low to high, so the FL would therefore be superior to the E in R's opinion. So why buy the E stylus?(2) Clearaudio V... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear DT, It's relevant to this thread only in that it points out the critical nature of tonearm alignment for those who wish to use outboard arm pods that are free to move about in relation to the tt spindle. (I will now don my armor plating.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Feliz compleanos! | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, In regards to your post of 08-10-11, I think that the maker of the tonearm, by selecting the offset angle of the headshell and by selecting an upper and lower limit for effective length (the margins for this being equal to the length... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System No. I will stick with Stevenson for DV. In fact, this experience (Baerwald vs Stevenson on the DV505) was a good lesson for me on the importance of geometry.And now, back to your local Copernican view. And as Thuchan says, "all in fun". | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dertonearm. Yes, before your protractor existed I had aligned my DV505 on my Lenco using Baerwald. The cartridge had to be twisted inward in the headshell, and the sound was not so good, which I tended to blame on the cartridge, since it was my fi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Yes. Love my DV505 so much that I have two of them. And then on top of that a dear friend (my longest term audiophile friend) gave me his DV501 last year. The DV501 was introduced shortly after the DV505. It is very like the 505 except that it lac... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Brad, Beautiful stuff on that website. Thanks for the URL. I am drawing ever closer to a high efficiency, high impedance spkr system, if I could find one that I both like and can afford. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, just to set the record straight, the Boston Audio mats and the SAEC mat are very near in weight to that of the OEM Denon and Technics rubber mats. What I was saying in my last post is (among other things) that these two types are per... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Banquo, Your remark directed to Halcro speaks honestly to one point I have been trying to make with the plinth-less crowd. The torque of an SP10 motor (Mk2 OR Mk3) is sufficient to move the chassis, if the chassis is unfettered by a plinth. T... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System To all of you plinth-less persons, it is possible and permissible to do something different from what Raul does and still get satisfactory results. Think outside Raul's box. The AT616 feet may be good, but they cannot possibly be the only "good" o... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Banquo, Good to know that you finally found peace with Bill Thalmann. I don't know how you (and others) are managing to use more than one outboard pod with the SP10. The square escutcheon that surrounds the platter really interdicts the use of mor... |
