| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If you haven't seen it, check out this week's TNT-Audio for Werner Ogier's measurements of resitive and capacitive loading of MM's. | |
| RS-3 owners: Seeking anti-skate help I have the RS Labs arm, and it has no provision for anti-skating. Just another data point. | |
| Soundsmith retips Be aware that if the stylus is merely worn out, rather than the cantilever snapped, Peter replaces only the stylus itself. He feels that removing the cantilever might compromise the suspension. I thought about snipping off the cantilever of my 901... | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire Sounds like the Acrotec would be just as hard to work with as the A-M stuff, given that it's 46 ga vs. 41 ga. At least it's copper, which melts at around 200 F. higher. | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire Hi Tessera--Did you end up doing this rewire? What wire did you use? | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire I just rewired mine yesterday with Discovery cable. I left the headshell leads as is, but I had broken the existing wire at the pivot, so needed a rewire. I was afraid this might foul the pivot, but have had no issues yet. And it's sounding pretty... | |
| Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart. Interesting that JerryS just posted a review saying this wasn't all that great a combo.10audio review | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik So I tried the turntableneedles.com stylus for the LTD 750 (it's translucent blue, you may recall). I had some trouble--it sounding very garbled, but I kept removing and reseating it and it finally sounded better.It doesn't sound nearly as refined... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I got two replacement styli for the LTD 750, the elliptical one from turntableneedles (see above) and this one from JICO. Though the page shows a translucent blue stylus carrier and says the manufacturer is Empire, it turns out the carrier is opaq... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Any tips for getting the best out of the EDR9? I've got it on a red-dot armtube of my Morch UP-4--around 6g effective mass, which is appropriate according to the cartridgedb.com. I reduced the VTF to 1.3g, which did seem to help the tizziness I wa... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Oops. Here's the URL turntableneedles.comshows compatibility with "LTD750," which is how it appears on the side of the cart. The drop-down menu shows an elliptical option. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik For an aftermarket stylus for the 750LTD (LTD750), see: The drop-down menu shows an elliptical option. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I've got 10-15 hrs on my 750 LTD, and finding like you to be much better with surface noise than the EDR.9, also less tizzy in the highs. Still not broken in, of course, but bass is not as tight as the Shelter 901, tho just as deep. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Thanks for the reminder Ctm. I'm finding the EDR9 pretty sweet for the coin. Compared to the Shelter 901, there's more bass, tho what's there is a bit more wooly. Midrange compares very favorably, not much less articulate or engaging than the 901.... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Raul--I'm getting a new armtube tomorrow to mount the 901 in for more direct comparisons. Will let you know. |
