| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Ken, That would be great, either way. I live just across the American Legion bridge on the Maryland side of the Potomac but right along the river. I am very anxious to get my L07D up and running. Now how is this relevant to the thread? Have any of... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object One could just as well posit that the differences in sound among the 3 tables are primarily due to unwanted resonances, either within the turntable mechanism or from the respective plinths, and that slate either dampens the chassis resonance or el... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object You put one chassis into plinths made of 4 different materials. I put 3 entirely different chassis' into plinths all made from the same material. The two experiments are not comparable. In response to your speculation about coloration, each of tho... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Dear Ken, I take it you must reside in the Richmond, VA, area, if you live near Howard. He currently has my Kenwood L07D motor and power supply for parts upgrades and calibration. I look forward to having it back here in Bethesda, MD, for my first... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, Are you withdrawing your previous praise of the Orto M20FL Super? Sounds like you are. I had inquired with Ayre regarding the input capacitance of their p5Xe phono stage. I received a courteous e-mail from Charlie Hansen in which he guesst... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object Dear Raul, I think it is a bit too strong to use the word "charlatan" in this regard. In English a charlatan is a "deliberate liar". If anything, most of us are only guilty of generalizing too broadly from relatively limited direct experience or c... | |
| Best TT plinth material, cost no object So, Ken, why isn't that project finished and what might you not like about the behemoth you built? Maybe that could lead you in a good direction. None of us have your skills in the first place. Many latter day belt-drive tables have virtually done... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I have been so taken with the M20FL that I have yet to audition my NOS B&O MMC1. I also have an MM20CL, but not an MMC2. My purchase choices were somewhat based on your advice many months ago. For that matter, the Grado TLZ deserves... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Montepilot, Just wing it at 47K. Don't worry yet about other load resistances. And remember to use a bit to a lot of positive VTA. Add salt to taste. Cook to a golden brown. | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Congratulations, Thuchan, assuming that the crate contains what we all think it contains. I think the outcome was inevitable from the start. You just wanted some moral support. I hope you will keep this thread alive by relating to us your judgemen... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? Yes, some dear friends of mine recently gave me their small LP collection. It has some great titles, early West Coast jazz that is lacking in my collection for example. I cleaned several of them and have been playing them. So far, two home runs - ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? First the idler-drive crowd led me to listening to a Lenco. Then I listened to some direct-drive turntables. Now I have examples of both types and no belt-drive tt at all. Then you initiated this thread on MM/MI cartridges. So, in about 2 years of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It is really fascinating to read your report, Henry (Halcro). It confirms that I have not lost my mind (or my hearing), nor am I being subconsciously swayed by the herd mentality that this thread may engender. I am also interested to learn about M... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? I've got about 1500 LPs, a collection assembled over a nearly 40 year period starting in and after college. I mentally divide my collection into two categories: those LPs I bought new when LPs were available by the bushel in "Record Stores" and th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A cartridge, any cartridge, has no "ground" side, except whereas you connect it up via a single-ended input, where one phase of the cartridge output is connected to ground. Cartridges are inherently balanced output devices with floating ground. I ... |
