| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel, What's up? First of all, I made no statement about a preference of tubes vs solid state. As I am sure you know, ss gain devices have Miller capacitance too. I was only discussing Miller capacitance. I happen to own an Ayre p5Xe as w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Timeltel, Raul, and everyone for your interesting responses. I must say I am surprised at the (high-ish) amount of capacitance Timeltel has found to be optimal with various different cartridges. Also, as regards the inherent capacitance at... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thuchan, Thank you, but you are talking about MC cartridges, and you are quite correct, added capacitance is never desirable with those. However, for reasons which are too arcane to re-hash here, having to do with the fact that MM cartridges ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Looks like adjustable headshell offset angle. Nice to have but dangerous in the wrong hands. Strictly for the cognoscenti. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Question for Raul, Timeltel, Dialolum, or anyone: I am going to re-wire my phono stage so as to provide variable loads at the MM input. I am thinking that 100K is the max load ever needed. Do any of you disagree? Do you ever use load resistance gr... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dgob, Where? I went to that page. Raul alludes to the tonearm in his text but there is no photo I can find. There is or was no photo on Raul's "system" site, either. Or are you saying that he just recently posted one there? (But I looked two ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, For me it's ease of use that attracts me most to DT's protractor and the fact that I so far never invested in a Feickert or a MintLP type. I own a Dennesen that I bought maybe 25 years ago plus two of the Turntable Basics protractors, for di... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System OK. Here's the other one that my friend Rosina told me on the same day.The Captain says to the crew, "I have good news and bad news.The good news is that you guys are going to get a change of underwear.(Big cheer goes up.)The bad news is: Jose', y... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System But Nandric, you did like the water skiing joke, I hope. My friend in Barcelona is one of my favorite people on earth. We will visit her this summer, I think, even though she does not have an outboard arm pod. (Nice chassis, though.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,"This new protractor puts ( everything the same. ) the cartridge stylus position with more accuracy that any of the other protractors out there?, if yes then I want to " see " the comparison and if there are improvements on quality sound... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dertonearm, Will Apolyt be pulling water-skiers on the lake in addition to spinning an 88 lb platter? (Thank you for the metric conversion, by the way.)Joke told to me by Barcelonian in Barcelona at the Maritime Museum:The galleon captain says to ... | |
| Azimuth for Mono? Interesting question to which the obvious answer would be "no". But sometimes the obvious answer is not quite correct. I think you still want to align the cantilever/motor assembly with the LP groove, but how to do that with a mono signal? There's... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder, where is your post on the protractor?It looks to be better than any that I own, price notwithstanding. The problem is that I do own 3 protractors already. The built-on magnifier is a neat idea, IMO. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Whenever I feel a bit viscoelastic, I visit my chiropractor.Have any of you guys heard of or tried the Wave Kinetics footers? I am thinking of trying some under my Slate Plinths. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Rich, Dertonearm's tool (you will pardon the expression): It looks VERY nice. It's expensive.Dear Nikola, I think you might be right that when I wrote something about any audio gear being an "investment", I was making fun of myself. I do not ... |
