| unique tonearm Brooklyn Bridge I have a hunch that the colorations the L07J may impart are due to the multitude of physical contacts in the signal path and possibly to their choice of Litz wire in the headshell, the tonearm body, and in the IC, plus the "sound" of that DIN plug... | |
| unique tonearm Brooklyn Bridge Jaspert, Thanks for the URLs, but both of them lead me to blank pages with no photos.Travis, Possibly because I was not able to view the photos, I do not understand your reference to the L07J (what the cognoscenti know to be the model designation ... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I sympathize with your plight. Here are some ideas:(1) Buy one system within your means and then think of that as basic to your every day life, something that is non-negotiable.(2) Re-read what Viridian wrote.(3) For bang for the buck, think used ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, That's very useful information, even to someone who might have a different opinion of those FR cartridges. (I am not one of those; I don't own one.) Thanks.One wonders why the FR cartridges are not in fact perfectly suited to the FR tonearms... | |
| unique tonearm Brooklyn Bridge Thanks. That is a way cool tonearm, and from what one can see of it, it is beautifully engineered with respect to the "problems" inherent to a pivoted tonearm. I'd love to see more detailed photos from more angles. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Banquo, I have nothing to say about Copernicus, but did you ever get your SP10 squared away by Berdan or Thalmann? If not, and if it's still unreliable, IMO you should reconsider it. | |
| Technics SP-10mkII replacement screws? No guessing. All the threaded holes that are placed at intervals around the periphery of the underside of the chassis, so as to affix it to a plinth, are M5. That is, 5mm (metric) thread. You just need to choose a length to suit your plinth.What e... | |
| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. DCarol, No one here has to do anything. When Raul started the thread on MM/MI cartridges, I was as skeptical as you. However, for a few hundred bucks and some DIY work, I was able to give a listen to some of the better cartridges mentioned above, ... | |
| How important is the tonearm? Dear Davide, You wrote:"As to importance, the tonearm is secondary to the turntable. A spring suspension turntable like Linn or Sota with an entry level tonearm will reveal much more than if you buy a better arm but compromise on a non spring susp... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Banquo et al, Of course there will be an "improvement" when you go to the bigger feet. This stuff has become so subjective and so uncontrolled (in the scientific sense) that there is a huge placebo effect. If you are prepared to like it, and ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, I went to your "system" to take a look at the photo of the AT feet. I see you have 3 different kinds of AT feet. Which are you using under your SP10? I am guessing it is the largest set, at the rear of the photo. Those smallest AT feet in th... | |
| My Turntable Collection..... I am more embarrassed than proud:Technics SP10 Mk2ATechnics SP10 Mk3Lenco L75Kenwood L07D (x2!)Denon DP80Don't ask about tonearms.Once you start saying to yourself "it's an investment", you are screwed. That's the road to perdition. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, Yeah, but you have to listen to Pines of Rome for the 10,000th time. That's too high a price to pay for unraveling anything. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Relax. You are not the one who gave the incorrect estimate of Miller effect. I have been stewing on that all day. It just goes to show that my own knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep and tenuously retained in my brain. I hate giving out bad ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Well it would be most interesting to hear from Mr. Panzer plinth. I assume its made of hard wood, not from a 20-ton armored tank.Did I actually write "bronze"? I meant "brass". I have already bought some brass pieces from that company, in order to... |
