| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, All I am saying is that if some medium mass tonearms sound good with a given cartridge and some others in the same category do not sound good, then the cause is unlikely to be related to effective mass per se.Dear Raul, Would rather n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, For what it's worth (not much), the Triplanar is firmly in the medium mass group, at 11 grams. Don't know about the Phantom, but my guess is that it too is in the medium mass group. On the other hand, most Reed tonearms longer than 9 ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,You wrote, "Well that korean Silvaweld design looks unimpressive but only looks as that because you are really impressed with!"Really? You have some information on the Silvaweld SWH550? Because I was unable to find any information anywhe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nothing happened to the Ayre. Decided to try the Silvaweld, because there was a great deal on eBay, and because I have a certain belief that the designer knew what he was doing. Plus, the Silvaweld got a fantastic review on Positive Feedback a few... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Yeah, sorry. Got carried away. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave is correct about my/our mods to the MP1 phono section. You and I once discussed this, Raul. Well, if the MMC1 does not mate well with the MP1, I can try it into the MC inputs of my Silvaweld. But the Silvaweld seems to use a JFET gain stage a... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dev,"SP10 MK3 is a wonderful table and I would never suggest different but as you know it really does take a bit of effort and money to get the best out of it."Yes, and I have spent both (effort and money). You may view a photo of the "finished" p... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dev, Since I had decided to "make do" with my SP10 Mk3 in an elaborate plinth, I was not a serious contender for The Beat. Ergo I did not really make a lot of effort to determine its cost, so don't take my word for it. I do not in fact think that ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dear Inna, No. I have never heard SME or Brinkmann, but the Balance (belt) or the Bardo (direct-drive) would be on my short list of tt's to buy, if I ever need another one. (What I mean to say is, "never" in my own home system.) I spent quite a fe... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Great, but only if you use silver USB connectors. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I don't know anything about Artisan Fidelity. Is that an idler-drive turntable? In my initial idler frenzy, I bought a 301 grease-bearing chassis at about the same time I bought the Lenco. After I heard the Lenco, and realizing that upgrading the ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dear Inna, I am beginning to think you don't think I think outside the box. Somehow, this does not trouble me. Obviously, we all live in our own boxes and escape to novel thinking is different for each of us. I hate the phrase "think outside the b... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 .."way better"... No. Not even "any better".Try then a well developed and tweaked Lenco idler-drive, also for much less money. I know you won't do that; I am just trying to help you think outside the box. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, I've only used it so far with the Stanton 980LZS, which is low-ish impedance. Actually, the input stage of the MP1 is a dual-differential cascode in its totality, as you know. Cascodes have high input impedance (I think) notwithstanding the ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Sorry, I should have directed my remark to Travis, aka T_bone. An added fact is that the pattern for the 5 threaded inserts provided for the bolts that fasten the tt chassis to its plinth in all 3 models, the MkII, 2A, and 3, is identical. Hence, ... |
