| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Capnbob, As Larry inferred. There is no doubt that one could do the measurements done by the Foz "manually" with a proper test LP, a fine quality voltmeter, and/or a 'scope. The Foz is a matter of convenience and rapidity, plus you can be uninform... | |
| PS AUDIO P500 as a Turntable speed controller? How does Lloyd feel about your using the P300 on his turntable, instead of his own Precision Motor Controller? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rich, Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's. If you want help forming an opinion, there are reams written about this subject in other threads. Try searching this Analog Discussion section and Vinyl Asylum, also Tweaker's Asylum, if you want to... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Where are the early B&O cartridges in all of this? I refer to the MMC1, MMC2, MMC20CL? I own two of these 3 and have not even taken them out of the box yet. Has anyone been listening to any of them? There are just not enough hours available to... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am about to try out the LPM320 in a Saturn V headshell (ya gotta love that early 80s name). But I also have to report that after I repaired my preamp, which it turns out had a glitch in each channel (two different unrelated problems, one due to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Shield" = braided metal tube thru which the tonearm wires pass. Then you solder a little tag at one end of the jacket and attach the tag to the chassis of your preamp via the ground lug on your RCA or XLR, only needs to be grounded at that one en... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rich, Cannot easily be done with ordinary benchtop tools. You need a test LP with a 1kHz tone recorded at a velocity of 3.54cm/sec or 5cm/sec (the two industry standards) and then you'd need a 'scope or a very sensitive AC voltmeter to measure the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, I thought you had evaluated the AT20SS back in the early phases of this thread. You liked it a lot, but you seemed to like the other Audio Technica vintage cartridges better. (I can never remember the nomenclature, but they have 3-digit n... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Petng,I too would love to know more about the Kuzma top pivoted tonearms and how it fits in with Triplanar, Graham, Talea, Schroeder, Reed, SME. I can't even find a good photo of either. The 4-point is the top of the pivoted line, is it not? | |
| Tube Phono Stage Help To sort this out, if you think the sound is "lean" with the Cary/Whest combo, the "problem" probably won't be cured by introduction of the Spectron, but I could be very wrong. I used to think based on listening experiences that Class D amps were b... | |
| Grado TLZ ??? I will go and take a look at mine. I still have the original cylinder in which the cartridge was sold, so I can also look at the label on that. Perhaps Yogiboy knows better, but I do think there was a "Signature" version of the TLZ. I never knew o... | |
| Grado TLZ ??? I own a very old TLZ. It has a silvery body (probably aluminum) with a black stylus assembly. I am sure it is correct original, because I personally bought it new more than 2 decades ago. Rich, what is your question? I will try to help, but I am n... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Dear Doug, I am thinking that I sounded snotty when I was preaching about scientific method. I apologize. | |
| Tube Phono Stage Help With all due respect to Bottlehead, wouldn't you guys expect the Whest to be superior to the Seduction? The Bottlehead Eros might be a better alternative, I would think. And to the OP, what system is giving you a lean sound? You say you are trying... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Buda, Up to a point, the brain does a wonderful job compensating for gradual hearing loss. The NIDCD hardly went out on a limb making that claim; I would wager that no one at the age of 65 or over has the measurable hearing acuity that he or she h... |
