| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Sometimes we have a good and interesting result and an attractive explanation for it, but they don't always really go together. This happens all the time in science. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Because I use the supplied brush for applying Cramolin, and probably also because I used it to enhance the electrical contacts in my old Porsches (6V systems that needed all the V they can get), my original bottle of Cramolin is so filthy with jun... | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH D-76A Dear Torogi,I don't see where you say you have any problem with how the amp sounds. It is highly improbable that it could operate properly if indeed those tubes were not firing up. It is often difficult to see the glow from a tube; have you looked... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Corby, I did not at all mean to imply that you cannot adjust azimuth in the manner you have chosen, using the Foz or any other method. But if you do it that way, leaving aside the argument about whether or not the base of the tonearm should i... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Corby, That's quite beautiful work. Do you mean to imply that you adjust azimuth by tilting the whole apparatus via the screw-threaded spikes at the base? Don't you think it's important to have the arm base (=the outboard pod) in a plane parallel ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System To paraphrase the bandit in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", you don' need no stinkin' viscoelastic support.(He said, "Badg-es? We don' need no stinkin' badg-es.")This is only my opinion, of course.At least try it both ways, turntable and armpo... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono If you are doing a private "A/B" comparison in the context of your own system, it is always a good idea to do "A/B/A". In other words, if you are familiar with A, then listen to B for a while until you really are used to it. Then switch back to A ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Geoch and Nandric, Despite whatever you both may think, my remark about Geoch's phraseology was totally sincere. I really did think it was beautiful prose, but I needed that clarification provided later by Geoch.I cannot help but note that this di... | |
| Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used Manitunc, The reason for the general lack of balanced connectors on the ends of tonearm cables seems to be the general lack of balanced inputs on phono stages. Very few phono stages are truly balanced internally, so in most cases there is nothing ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System ..."in normal careful use, the great mass of the armpod impedes any disposition and restrains it to a soft activity." Geoch, that is beautiful English, worthy of an erudite 19th century scientific journal entry. But what is "soft activity"? Any ac... | |
| I NEED YOUR HELP with a turntable purchase Dear Jon,As you might have expected, the responses are all over the lot depending upon the bias of the person who posts. Very few of us really have a broad experience of hearing many different expensive turntables in our home systems, which is the... | |
| lamm lp2 loading question Why not ask Mr. Lamm? The science of loading an MC cartridge that is "seeing" a SUT is somewhat complex, and I would be loathe to guess what is going on. If the resistive load is situated on the primary side of the SUT, the value "40 ohms" might m... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Suteetat, In your defense, I think upgrading the phono stage can be "heard" regardless of turntable, since the two devices manifest themselves in very different ways. Then too, a better phono stage prepares you for a better turntable at a later da... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Jtimothya, Of course I was not put off at all. I was just correcting the impression you left re the resistance seen by the cartridge thru a SUT hooked to the MM input. I know you are an experienced knowledgeable person, so I figured you just missp... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System In the US there is an on-line business that can sell you a solid brass, bronze, stainless steel, or alu cylinder in your choice of diameters and pre-cut to your desired length (=height). Here is one page of their website that I have been looking a... |
