| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dlaloum touches on an interesting point that I had never fully appreciated but is obvious. In an MM cartridge, the coils reside in the cartridge body and stay with that body no matter what stylus "upgrade" one might employ. Therefore, would it not... | |
| Records weights or pucks -heavy or light? This is purely a matter of personal taste plus what your turntable bearing and motor can take without undue wear and speed instability. I have owned belt-, direct- and idler-drive tts. I personally do not like heavy center weights on any of them. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, Do you have your arm pod on the spikes and your tt on AT feet? If so.... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Fourth and probably most obvious source of vibration of the idler wheel: Deviation of the idler wheel from perfect round-ness and roughness at its contact surface. The spring or string may or may not be the major player in maintaining contact amon... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I certainly would not want to argue the question of whether this new mod actually improves sound quality, which it may well do, but on the level of theory, I have a question: Why would one expect the string not to transmit vibration, as compared t... | |
| My Turntable Collection..... Morgenholz, I tend to agree with you that the Kenwoods are overlooked and under-appreciated. I think it's the coreless, slotless motors plus the clever and rather unique way that the servo drive system is engineered that makes them special. Have y... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am happy with the elastic band. I don't think twice about it. But I suppose silicon adhesive would work, albeit it would leave a permanent mess that a putative next owner might not like. If someone wants to try it, I would love to hear about it.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Elastic band is better because it is easily reversible and because it applies a steady pressure on the junction between cartridge body and stylus, whereas with tape I am not sure I could do it. There would be too much danger of fouling the stylus.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? by some weirdness the above post was posted twice. Dunno how I did that. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I searched long and hard for that 980LZS, just out of curiosity and because of its exotic nature. I got this in very used condition off eBay. Sadly, I had a chance to buy an NOS D98S stylus for it, but I procrastinated due to the cost and lost it ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Nicola. It would appear based on your contribution that some of the other FR tonearms might indeed be more suitable for the FR cartridges that Raul and Halcro own. But now Halcro states that in fact the compliance of the cartridges is inde... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? FWIW, New York is a wonderful, vibrant city, unlike almost any other city on earth, in a good way. It does cost too much to live there decently however. | |

| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Mike, Better have some oxygen handy when you finally get your v2.0 Talea. I heard a v2.0 at my neighbor's house. (Yes, there are two crazy audiophiles living on the same street in Bethesda, MD.) He is using a ZYX and a Doshi preamp with which I am... |
