| MG-1 airbearing arm tracking problems? Hi there OutlierI THOROUGHLY recommend that you improve the mechanical integrity of the armwand / slider unit as described in my previous post - you'll be amazaed at the improvement. | |
| MG-1 airbearing arm tracking problems? Don't know it. Was my review helpful, by the way? | |
| MG-1 airbearing arm tracking problems? I too thought this arm seemed too good to be true, and shied away from buying one for quite a while. In the end I went for it, and have been using it on my Nottingham Analogue Dais with a VDH Black Beauty for 18 months. As I expect you know, it's ... | |
| What Step-up transformers are best value? Once again, many thanks for your replies. I am interested in experimenting with loading. What value resistors should I try? I have no experience of this, and could do with some guidance. Where exactly do i put them? | |
| What Step-up transformers are best value? Thanks for all your contributions - all very interesting and informative. I wonder if adding resistors to change the loading would help with the Silks. What values should I try? Where would I fit them? Across the primary connections? | |
| Any suggestions for top-end home-made cables? Suggestion re Mogami Neglex seems a good one. The cable on Audiogon is listed as Quad Mic Cable, so there are 4 wires and a screen. How would I wire this to the plugs?RegardsSimon | |
| MG-1 airbearing arm tracking problems? Thanks for the advice. Much better now after very careful levelling etc. Th final solution was removing the Isolator though, along with the blob of blutack necessary on the counterweight for the added weight. Why should this be?I emailed Ada, but ... | |
| Mentmore M100 Michaelson and Austin Thanks for that Stan. I ended up not bidding on them. They went on ebay for £880, which was more than I would have paid for them anyway. Do you have any experience of using single-ended amps with 63s? I'm being offered a pair of 211 monoblocs, rat... | |

| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? What is "effective mass"? I use an Adanalog Airbearing arm, the sliding armtube is described as being 25g without weight or cartridge. Would that be a match for the Colibri? (I am particularly interested in this cart in particular owing to an extr... | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? I'm a little concerned that the Colibri only sounds good with excellent recordings. Many of my records are not, but the music still shines through. I don't want something that makes more of the faults than the beauty of the music.I guess after all... | |
| Should I buy a VDH Colibri or Black Beauty? Thanks for your interesting responses. I live in the UK, and both of the cartridges I'm looking at - BB & Colibri - are previously used, the BB having been sent back to VDH for a check-up, and returned with a clean bill of health. The Colibri ... |
