| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Headsnappin, I know you did not address your question to me, but I am going back to the M20FL to test my "feeling" that I might like the M20FL better than the Azden. Not sure yet.Anyone know where I can find a D98S stylus for my Stanton 980LZS? Thx. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus 0.5 inches = 12.5mm. Overhang is typically given in mm (millimeters). But thinking inside the box seems to be painful for WT. Anyway, what difference does it make, if you cannot adjust that parameter? | |
| Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000? The DDX and DQX differ also in one most important aspect. The latter has a quartz-referenced speed control, and Aleko you might be well advised not to shut off that function. It cures the problem cited by Gerald, if that is a problem at all. Anywa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Raul. I hold your opinion in high regard. The Denons are not my cup of tea, because on a theoretical basis I do not much care for that flexible joint that they insert between the pivot point and the cartridge. I think a tonearm should be t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Montepilot. I am well aware of Steve Dobbins' expertise and his superb results, via my acquaintance with Mike Lavigne, one of Steve's customers. If memory serves, the Azden has a relatively low compliance compared to some of the others we ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I need a 12-inch tonearm, or at least a 10.5-inch one, and I would like it to be compatible with these relatively high compliance cartridges, which means that the tonearm needs to be relatively low effective mass. (Agreed?) Long length and low eff... | |
| Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ? None of the currently popular protractors use Stevenson, as far as I know, because Stevenson is slightly out of favor compared to Baerwald and Lofgren A, in that order of preference. You might google it to see if there is something available. Ther... | |
| Stylus Force Gauge Syntax, those are hell on batteries. Actually, I found that my Shure gauge was good to the second decimal point, when I checked the setting using a "digital" gauge. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus It's interesting to note that Sarcher30 found the Amadeus cum Dynavector 17D3 to sound so good, given that the 17D3 is one cartridge that has a very odd mounting hole to stylus tip distance, probably well outside (or inside) the norm. One would in... | |
| Which TT to keep? SP10, 124, 301, L75, B12H Dear Zipcrack, You should have no fear about using your SP10 Mk2. But before you do use it, get a competent person to replace all the electrolytic capacitors in both the power supply and the on-board electronics. (If memory serves, there are 8 in ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul and Downunder, Your cruelty re my lack of a Technics 100C is duly noted. I might have expected it from an Australian but not from a fellow Americano. Raul, if you throw in a new 3160 Phonolinepreamp, the price is right. Little do you guy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Technics EPC-P100c Mk4 sucks.However, as a magnanimous gesture, I am willing to unburden one lucky owner of his sample. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I mounted my tonearm exactly according to that template from the owners manual, using the recommended pivot to stylus distance per Dynavector. If memory serves me, that would be 226mm, spindle to pivot distance. Yes, there will be some tiny ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Whoops!Dear Raul, You are referring to the mounting template on Vinyl Engine? I used that precisely to mount my tonearm. But that only tells you that the sylus overhang needs to be 15mm. Dynavector originally supplied a tool to establish that exac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear R, I never knew there was a specific template for the DV505. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the information. I used Stevenson not because I had any reason to think it was "the best", but because from what I have read the DV505 he... |
