| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Thuchan. I think this hobby and the obsession with its crazy minutiae should be fun above all. The opinions can be intensely felt, however. The best part for me is the pleasure of getting to be in contact with interesting people (such as y... | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Dan_ed, Good point about the tonearms that can accommodate two counter-wts, but as Dave mentioned, the range of adjustment of effective mass afforded by that arrangement would seem to be quite limited.Mark, Despite the setback you described, do yo... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System DT, I was joking of course. This discourse was getting entirely too serious. For any one of us to elevate it to the level of the concepts brought forth by Copernicus or Galileo is ludicrous. Socrates, maybe.... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, your remark above to Thuchan re the SX8000 is in contradistinction to your original theory in all its specifics, as is the SX8000 itself. The SX8000 and the lesser M-S tts in its family, all use massively heavy plinths and an iron grip... | |

| Well Tempered Turntable Specifications You will not hear any rumble.The tables are dead silent and cleverly made. I am not crazy about the tonearms, but this is my personal preference. The WT to get these days appears to be the Amadeus. It has a bevy of fans here. Comes with yet anothe... | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Funny that only one pivoted tonearm I can think of actually has capacity to alter its effective mass, and that is the MA707 or the CF1 (or both) made by Micro Seiki. They used the simple device of a weight that slides fore and aft on the arm tube.... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Copernicus was a twit anyway. | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Hey Chuck. Are you THE Chuck, formerly of Northern Virginia, to whom I spoke at RMAF? The confounding reports of apparent tonearm/cartridge mismatches that sound great have me thinking about the quality of the data for compliance and tonearm effec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thichan, It's those doubled-up smiley faces that follow your post that has me worried. Do you plan this for the "Tongue in Cheek" Forum? | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Mark, I see you had posted your own novel method on VA. Looks a bit cheaper to try, compared to John's which requires one to buy the requisite computer software. Thanks. | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass Chuck, I AM glad that the question brought responses from some of the most knowledgeable people around this part of the hobby.Viridian, The Catch-22 is the bit about needing a cartridge of "known" compliance. I guess one can figure that out by sta... | |
| High output cartridge for 47db phono stage? This is only my personal opinion, but it is based on many separate experiences. I have come to prefer the sound of a really good MM or MI cartridge over that of high output MC cartridges as a class. This is not to say that one superb HOMC might no... | |
| Dartzeel Phono Preamp? I for one believe. | |
| New to TT's some advice questions Of the ones you listed, go with VPI, IMO. Personally, I favor a vintage Lenco or Denon for low buck pleasure (<$1000), but if I were to choose the Denon option, I would go for something above the DP47 suggested above. The Denons are still under... |
