| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I read this thread with interest. One must consider that one ought to consider the issue of cable matching as well. By way of example, an old Naim using DNM precision cables will outperform the Naim using an expensive Goertz cable - why - it's the... | |
| Which phono preamps among these three? I have a PS 0.2 and that is superb. I am told by James Henriott that the 0.3 is an altogether more impressive animal. I preferred the Whest to the Tom Evans Groove in my system. I know that Michael Fremer had to backtrack on an initial review of t... | |
| Why do MM cartridges amplify more surface noise?? Hi mateTaking account of all the previous posts can I just add that all things being equal, it may well be that it is due to MM's having higher compliance meaning that they react to noise more. View it as u would suspension, and that softer suspen... | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? Doudeacon I appreciate your passion, but what I wrote was in essence summarising what is in the Ringmat website. Only heard one in use on a Platine Verdier - not exactly a NOISY table like my NOISY EMT 950 - which I happen to have not yet got work... | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? This is an interesting thread. The people that make the Ringmat use no weight on top of the record at all, the argument being that it channels energy away and lets the record breath | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Simple argument. However minimal the force or friction in a cartridge we can and do have stylus drag. That being the case a pod not fixed will be pulled with the drag in the absence of an equal and opposite force. Whatever the theories I am not a ... | |
| Matching Koetsu Stone Body Platinum Cartridge I would ask either syntax or mike lavigne - both have used most of the best cartridges out there and give very fair advice. | |
| New direct drive turntables? Dear HoduWhilst I do not think the SL1200's are the ultimate in terms of engineering - they are one of the best performance/cost wise in engineering terms.The thing is that Technics/Panasonic see manufacturing resource allocation on the basis of o... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables I know this may seem pedantic, but is there a special glue when gluing together layers - in other words - what glue do the likes of Kronos and Clearaudio use when sandwiching aluminium and panzerholz | |
| Zany measurements and theories Out of interest are such actual theories authentic and in fact true?When we talk of pounds of pressure is made made having iea of context and comparability as to the forces generated in otehr mechanical circumstances - ie this is the force generat... | |
| Cartridges in general Have a look at a Dynavector Karat, Dr T, and Ke Taikora - all very different.Koetsus appear to all appear to follow a similar design - but they do keep changing materials and bodiesI think Van Den Huls vary depending on the cartridge series. EMT's... | |
| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade there's a chap called berhard fuss (do a search or pm me) he makes a very good power supply for asynchronous AC motors - they are two phase, have pitch adjustment and are cheaper than the SDS. two phase power supplies are a 'major' AC motor upgrad... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L Finally got it through the post (tight fit LOL) - I bought from Foxtan in Hong Kong on ebay - this aint a plug - but he is straight as a die. | |
| Magic and mystery of master tape Hi ZD542 - I guess the phrase 'close to master tape' normally attaches to sources, in the same way as one uses the term 'studio sound' for speakers. | |
| Recommendation on MC cartidge and Phono Preamp If you want expansive musicality and imaging an EAR 834P - some people even keep them in high end systems as they may be the best at these things.If you have a lot of pre RIAA records check out a Graham Slee Era Gold V (they have varying EQ)If you... |
