| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, Just be careful that the bulging midrange doesn't push you right out of your listening room and into the hallway. Your obvious problem of course is that you do not yet have an EPC 100C Mk4. If and when you do get one, you will see the ligh... | |
| Whest MC REF V - my new christmas present Dear Dcarol,I hope you don't mind my asking a few questions. Your opinion counts, since you are one of the few who has heard some of the different Whest models in your own system. So here goes:(1) Can you tell us what are the other elements of you... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Geoff, You were not serious about "cryo"-treating your LPs using your home freezer, were you? I assume you know that temperatures attained in a home freezer are nowhere near low enough to have any effect on molecular or atomic organization of any ... | |
| Try a different turntable? Mickeyf, I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh. However, we can move on. I am well aware of the theoretical issues you bring up. That's why listening and forming one's own opinion based on actual observation is so important. Between the cogging at ... | |
| Try a different turntable? It's really a matter of one's personal taste in music reproduction, ancillary equipment, etc. I certainly agree that any of the 3 technologies can be made to sound very good such that there will be some among us who prefer any one of the 3 over th... | |
| Try a different turntable? Mickeyf, It must be nice to know stuff without actually experiencing it. You can get a job in the circus. I know this is a waste of my time, but please tell me how and why a belt-drive turntable motor is immune to cogging, whereas it is a major bu... | |
| Try a different turntable? Dear Mickeyf, With reference to your post up the page wherein you assert that the "motor is solidly coupled to the platter" in a direct-drive design and infer that this is a problem, I urge you to remove the platter from a high quality direct driv... | |
| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem Wow! Why so glum? Send it back to Tri, and he can tighten up the bearings to restore the proper ground connection, if that really is the issue, which I am beginning to believe it is. None of the strategies you mention could be expected to cure tha... | |
| Try a different turntable? Dear Magister, I am not so dogmatic as some of the others re direct- and idler-drive turntables vs belt-drive ones. I merely suggest that you try one of the other two species to go along with your VPI, if you want something really different from w... | |
| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem Based on your responses to Dave and Ralph, I am now thinking that I got it wrong. Am I now correct in thinking that the tonearm per se is not necessarily vibrating but that the hum you hear (over the speakers, I presume) is ameliorated when you gr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I apologize if I offended you with my remark about your posts citing items for sale in eBay. It was something that I have noticed for a long time, and I knew it might offend you to mention it, so I held back until this last bit about th... | |
| Try a different turntable? Lenco, Garrard, direct drive (best of the Denon, Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, Kenwood, Technics, etc). Try something REALLY different, and you won't go back to belt-drive. Life is short. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Your posts here about good stuff on eBay have the unintended consequence of both raising the price and causing the item to be gone before I can even find the auction. (I don't know whether anyone else has had this experience.) I know yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I am maybe a week away from getting my system up and running. I solved a mysterious problem with one of my amplifier monoblocks and then decided to revise the entire output stage. It will take another week to burn in the new tubes before... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Pryso, I understand now that you were not disputing the rationale behind the use of multiple subwoofers but merely the notion that the idea originated with Duke. Gotcha. All credit to Earl Geddes, I guess. Duke is a great guy and would be the... |
