| Azimuth for Mono? Interesting question to which the obvious answer would be "no". But sometimes the obvious answer is not quite correct. I think you still want to align the cantilever/motor assembly with the LP groove, but how to do that with a mono signal? There's... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder, where is your post on the protractor?It looks to be better than any that I own, price notwithstanding. The problem is that I do own 3 protractors already. The built-on magnifier is a neat idea, IMO. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Whenever I feel a bit viscoelastic, I visit my chiropractor.Have any of you guys heard of or tried the Wave Kinetics footers? I am thinking of trying some under my Slate Plinths. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Rich, Dertonearm's tool (you will pardon the expression): It looks VERY nice. It's expensive.Dear Nikola, I think you might be right that when I wrote something about any audio gear being an "investment", I was making fun of myself. I do not ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,I do not bother to argue about amplifiers, big or small. I think of amplifiers as a means to an end, and that an amplifier has no importance except to drive the speaker properly. Hence to me the amplifier/speaker form a closed system, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Somewhere back in the middle of this thread, I recounted the experience I had with the Supex, when it hit the US and was "the rage" among audiophiles. Someone brought one to my house along with a Mark Levinson pre-preamp, and we listened to it on ... | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Dear GaryB, As far as I know, the group buy for Mark's controller has not "fizzled out". At least I hope not, because I am on the list. Perhaps you mean that he may not be adding anyone to the existing list. I got an email from Mark about a month ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, You ask a great question. I had not auditioned a solid state amplifier in my own system for many years. After the Parasound A21 had broken in for a few days at my house, I was wondering about the exact same thing. Why would anyone pay more t... | |
| Why Would a Turntable Need More than 1 Arm ? Why would a turntable need more than one arm? A turntable is an inanimate object that has no emotions whatever. It does not "need" anything. The owner of said turntable may have any one or two of several reasons for wanting to mount more than one ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I have never heard your speakers, of course, but they are so different in every way from a Sound Lab ESL that I am very surprised to learn there is a similarity in sound. Re solid state amplifiers: I have been involved in an extensive revisi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Apropos of your remarks about system differences, I know full well that I have all my audio life been aiming for the accurate reproduction of Jazz, to include especially vocalists, small combos, and big bands. I never think twice about opera... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System By the way, in the real world there is no such thing as "complete (mechanical) isolation", which is why I take the position that I take. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Of course, to chauffeur Garrett Morris' and the baby's relief, the rabbi was successful. I guess I will go back to maintaining radio silence. We now return you to our regular programming. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, Decouple all that you want. My point was or would have been that it is perhaps not wise to use very different mounting systems for the tt and arm pod, e.g., spikes on one and AT feet on the other. In that situation, the two separate devices ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, We agree on something! That's exactly what I was trying to imply to Dgob without being annoying. |
