| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean, My first Acutex came with the Saturn headshell installed. When I foolishly tried to take them apart, the exterior frame of the cartridge body stayed inside the Saturn and the bare coils came out in my hand. It was instructive to say the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, The word in the eBay ad is "PuNtina", not "putina". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Henry, You say you ordered silver leads from 2juki. The leads were poorly soldered to their cartridge pins. So you do have a legit complaint. But how does this make them "fake"? Fake would be a fair adjective, if the leads were made of someth... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Since the LPM320STR III is one of my favorite cartridges, I hopped right over to Italian eBay and bought a 420. However, I am a little apprehensive since all they show is the box. Does anyone know whether "puntina" = cartridge? The word would seem... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Banquo, What I did point out is that the service manual of the TT101 is available on Vinyl Engine. With the service manual, a competent person can trace a problem to its source. That is the first step in the repair process. As to its possibly... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Assuming that the P-mount itself is of decent quality, e.g., the one that comes with the Azden or with the B&O cartridges, you can just solder the tonearm wires directly to the P mount pins, and then use the P mount in the conventional manner.... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I wouldn't "dabble" in vintage dd turntables if I did not sincerely believe based on listening in my own home on my system that they offer superior value for money, based on performance alone. The fact that they will not depreciate if properly mai... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Nandric, I read a little about the new data that call into question the actual speed of light. Compared to other previously existing data that confirm the Theory of Special Relativity, I think the data from CERN are rather weaker. I am going ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear �Nandric, Go ahead and buy that TT101, if you want it. Here is a URL for the owners manual AND the service manual, which can be downloaded from Vinyl Engine:http://www.vinylengine.com/library/jvc/tt-101.shtmlArmed with the service manual, any... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Henry,Most of the contents of the long passage you quoted are utter hogwash. (1) Because the TT101 looks complex to the uneducated, like you and me, is no reason to believe it cannot be worked on by a trained professional. It is not voodoo. (... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? I don't know how a fully tweaked and top of the line Crown would compare to the Studers, Ampexes, MCIs, etc, that have come up in this discussion. But I do think that Ralph would have one if he thought it competed sonically with those big boys.Thu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm sure I've also tried 100R and 47K with the 980, and I don't recall hearing much difference, but I could be wrong. | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? Bifwynne, As you may or may not know, the better Crown tape recorders have interchangeable heads, can be modified therefore to use half-inch tapes. At one time, Crown was considered to be right up there with anything else made for home use and I t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, Re your last post. I forgot to say that I load my 980LZS at 1000 ohms, typically. Also, you may know that the correct original stylus assembly is the Stanton D98, which is a stereohedron. The Pickering equivalent is the D7500S. So when... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, I am running the 980LZS straight into my modified Atma-sphere MP1. I say "modified", because I replaced the all-tube phono input dual-differential cascode with a hybrid one, composed of an MAT02 transistor on the "bottom" of the cascode and... |
