| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's This topic is really quite interesting, and I am trying to brush up on the physics of it. One further bit of advice that I came across elsewhere was to be sure to turn on the demagnetizer when it is well away (>3ft, according to one source) fro... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. It's senseless to argue. Everyone should do what he or she likes. Just trying to help the OP. Marakanetz, I disagree with your sentiment, but more importantly you are not helping the OP by stating such a strong opinion with no backup information t... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. In audio, don't assume that price is proportional to performance. Like Grinnell said, the choice should be based on your phono stage, etc. But the phono stage is most important. Unless the Clearaudio MC is a "high output" MC (meaning it makes at l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Mike, I am soon going to install a Khozmo attenuator into my main full function preamp, the Atma MP1, wired up as a balanced shunt. I have had the thing sitting on my desk for maybe 6 months whilst I was working on the Atma amplifiers. It's so nic... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Inshore and Halcro, I dearly love my L07D, and I totally agree with you on the engineering. Those guys were way ahead of their time in designing and building that plinth. And what strikes me about the L07D in action is its inherent dead silen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am using a Silvaweld phono stage for MM. I just installed Mundorf Silver/oil output coupling caps tonight, after breaking them in for a week on a capacitor torture device I devised. I was ambivalent about the Mundorf's , just wanted to try them.... | |
| Nude Turntable Project "What are in common between these TTs other that are TTs: Denon DP-80/75, Garrads, Kenwood Lo70, Technics SP10s, Sota ones, SME 20s, Michel, Roksans, VPIs, Project, Oracle, Exclusive, Linn, etc, etc, ?"Some sound good. Some sound REALLY good. And ... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Sorry, Doug. You must be correct, Peter. Question now goes to Mike L. I am a biologist who was always fascinated by physics. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Raul,Yes, i did notice your absence from these fora, and I was hoping that you had not left us and that you were not ill or something bad like that. Also, I did not think you were not cognizant of the importance of the turntable mat, and it intere... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Apologies to Raul, I think I am guilty of asking Raul to prove a negative, which cannot be done. Anyway, more data would be nice. Particularly I would like to know what mat was in use on each turntable (75 vs 80). So far as I know there is very li... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Raul, What mat? What tonearm? How was the tonearm mounted? What cartridge? What music?Let's see: you pulled two turntables out of storage, set them up without a plinth and they sound "great". (I'll take your word for that.) And this proves so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola, I felt that way only rarely as a student, and never after I left high school. If one feels that one is smarter than one's teacher, one ought to move on to another teacher or another school. Anyway, Luigi can think whatever he likes. And an... | |
| Cartrige choice - Zyx or Ortofon or ??? "without getting too crazy as far as price is concerned."I agree.Until now. Nevertheless, their products are always very well made and seem to be totally from in-house, nothing farmed out or generic. | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Should read, "I will be GETTING the demag soon." | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Doug, I am really surprised to read that your nephew thinks the effect may be to reduce or alter static charge. Can you ask him how that could be, when one generally thinks of magnetic fields as they relate to ferrous materials and not at all to s... |
