| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Now that I have cleared up a problem aligning cartridges in my Dynavector tonearm, I need to return to all the MM/MIs I have thus far evaluated in it, because all of them were negatively affected by my previous method of alignment. (I used a Baerw... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Hiho, Thanks for your expertise in this area. The XR-Q7 looks like a Micro Seiki with only a label change. Since M-S is credited on Vintage Knob with the design and/or manufacture of many tonearms and turntables that do not carry the M-S name, I a... | |
| tonearm for Gerrard or Lenco idler wheel turntable I don't think you need to worry much about "matching" a tonearm to a turntable. The question is whether the turntable is "good enough" to merit a top line tonearm. I am a previous owner of a Lenco in Nantais plinth and the current owner of a Lenco... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, So don't tap the headshell. What's the full name and source of that anti-resonant paint, again. I seem to have lost the reference. Thx. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for reminding me about that vendor, Raul. I ordered mine from Garage a Records (2 days ago) and evidently got one of their last NOS ones at their low price. When I wrote my post above, I had forgotten about Needle Depot as another source fo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, At least you got a good deal on your 1000ZE/X stylus, and I am sure you can find a used body for it. It will work on the 1000ZE body for sure; that's what I bought originally. Seems like I bought one of the last of Garage a Records X type st... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Hiho,I noticed this Sansui on eBay and have done a little reading about it on Vintage. The motor seems very advanced, and the plinth is at least partially constructed with resonance in mind, altho there is an outer MDF layer for cosmetic purposes.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Dean. That's a considerable savings vs Bluz Broz, assuming the product is identical. I ordered one. In for a dime, in for many many dimes. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? re Pickering. Anyone know the difference between the "XSV" and the "XUV" models? Seems as though most of their high end or quadraphonic cartridges were available under either acronym. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, Yes, I think this whole thread has neglected the top line Stanton/Pickering cartridges. Their best ones had surprisingly low internal resistance and lower than normal voltage output, which would indicate a lower than average internal moving ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro or Raul, I have an NOS Empire 1000ZE. As I recall there were several sources for the X stylus assembly. Some of them were reproduction styli. What is the preferred type to buy, if I should choose to upgrade my 1000ZE and from whom should I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Why is it worth having, if it is "a little reticent in the highs"? Do you have a contrasting criticism of the line contact stylus on the P50VL that is mitigated by the elliptical stylus? Otherwise, unless one is a collector of MM cartri... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Tim, Your description of Raul's table is exactly as I once envisioned it. I got the impression at the top of this thread that I was not quite correct. Anyway, it's water under the bridge, or a tonearm over a turntable, or something.One "secret" of... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base To be fair, I don't think Raul ever advocated running the SP10 with no platter. As you suggest, the motor will go nuts with no platter. I agree with you on your solution; Raul has another way. | |
| Now I bought a Technics SP-10 Mk2, what's next? All electrolytics should ideally be replaced. You may then find that some of the functional defects you are dealing with will be cured at the same time. Once that is done, the function of transistors and IC can be fairly assessed and if all is wel... |
