| Schroder sq and the new talea By the way, a fellow named Rabinow invented the Rabco tonearm(s). He lived here in the Washington, DC, area, I think, and was a friend also of Herb Papier, who designed and hand-built the Triplanar. The Rabco tonearm was just a sideline for Mr. Ra... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea I posted about this event elsewhere. As Jtinn suggests, it was not a valid comparison between two tonearms, but it was fun to see and be part of the enthusiasm for these gadgets, which is what they really are. For what it's worth, from where I sto... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm You can find reports on the thread about the RMAF 2010. I was sitting in the back row, or rather, standing. All seats in front of me were occupied, and there were people also standing along both sides of the small-ish room. Speakers were Daedalus.... | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Talea, Not to worry. You make a beautiful and well-engineered product that I would be proud to own. | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Tbg. I could not agree more. The Beat plus Reed plus either the A90 or the Puritas cartridge plus Allnic electronics plus MBL spkrs was one of the nicest systems I heard. I actually preferred the Allnic Puritas over the A90 (slightly). It just see... | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Agree that the Raven/Thoress room was great fun and great sounding. TW is also a very nice unpretentious guy with a great sense of humor. I also enjoyed Steve Dobbins room with the Beat direct-drive turntable and "small" MBL speakers. The Beat cum... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? The Fisher phono section should work OK with 2.0 or 2.5mV input. The Benz has about 1mV output. So you really do not need the Lehman at all, and I should have thought of this before. Any decent SUT will have an easy time supplying the missing driv... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? I am surprised that even the CJ is adequate for the Apogees, since the REL crossover does not have a high pass filter (i.e., the CJ has to drive the Apogees full range, I think). You certainly could try running the Benz Glider straight into the MM... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? Dear Lisnr and Jig, Read this review from Stereophile: http://stereophile.com/historical/605fisher/A restored 500C will at worst compete with the Lehman and Line 3, plus you get a very good sounding amplifier in the bargain. I would not assume tha... | |
| Lehman Black Cube or Fisher 500C? I'll take a stab. You only need one phono stage, either the one built into the Fisher, which is probably strictly for high output MM cartridges, or your Lehman. Either of those could be run into the Symphonic Line 3. It's probable that the Fisher ... | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl Hey T, Do you like to track at 100 gm? Just kidding. If their torque figure is accurate, then the max VTF before speed variation should calculate out to be just about 75% of the value given for the SP10 Mk2, which has 6 kg/cm torque, if memory ser... | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl Torque of DP500M motor = 4.5kg/cm. That's impressive and up there with the SP10 Mk2. DP500M chassis remounted in a better plinth with an upgraded tonearm might be quite something. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes, that is the simplest answer. But, as Einstein said, any hypothesis should be as simple as possible but not simpler. | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl Don't know why the DP500M is so unloved, but the Technics certainly stands as a best buy, by all accounts. (I own vintage types.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just realized, in the post I cited, Al is discussing the math. The verbal explanation is a few posts up the thread. The latter may be sufficient explanation for most. The formulae will not need to be memorized for the quiz. |
