| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? I have finally assembled all of the pieces for my conversion from the ET-2 to the Fidelity Research FR64s. The FR64s I bought was in beautiful condition with the original box and all parts and templates. I had a new armboard made for my TNT and ha... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Even if there was an "absolute" best cartridge, we couldn't agree on it anyway. When it comes to audio, there are no "absolutes" that I am aware of that all audiophiles would agree on. The only thing I *think* that you could get audiophiles to agr... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? As far as evidence against theory, evidence achieved through carefully controlled experiments is always preferred. In reality, I don't know of an easy way to do this. Would you run two "identical" cartridges for a predetermined number of hours wit... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Darkmo-I did say that I had a new 103R that had a stylus off-center after using it for a short time in the ET-2. What I don't know is what caused it. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? If I have read all of the responses correctly, the "argument" is that the physics associated with a high mass air bearing tone arm causes more stress on the cartridge stylus/suspension than does a properly set up pivoted arm. This problem is excab... | |
| Analog upgrade path for less than $1200 I don't know what cartridges will mate well with your arm (low compliance, medium compliance, high compliance), but I suspect it will be high compliance. You need to figure that out and then decide whether you are going the MM or MC route. Your ca... | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One Well boys and girls, the bottom line is our boy who started this thread doesn't have much money to fool with here as he is trying to keep his wife from cutting off his onions (if he spends more than 200-300 beans he might have to change his name f... | |
| Analog upgrade path for less than $1200 If there is nothing wrong with your SL-1300 and its arm, you might consider getting a better cartridge and phono preamp. If you were thinking of getting a "new" table/arm/cartridge combo for less than $1200 that will beat what you have now it coul... | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One I wonder if that was the same guy that offered a pair of VTL amps on Audiogon and claimed that so many people responded that he obviously priced them too low and wanted me to pay more than his original asking price. He tried to tell me that he had... | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One If you brought that old Carnegie into a stereo store and tried to sell it you would be lucky if they gave you $100 in trade. I certainly wouldn't pay more than $275 for it. | |
| Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better? Myles-I will give it another spin when I finish getting my "new" arm set up on my TNT. I could't make it past the first few songs the first and only time I played it. I believe that part of this album was recorded by Lennon at home with a cassette... | |
| Help: Left Channel of Technics 1300mk2 tt stopped Cool. Glad I could help. | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One Sballs-it's always the wife isn't it? I wish I had a dime for everytime some guy used the wife as an excuse on why he had to sell somthing that he supposedly loves. One guy was crying over the fact that he had to sell his speakers because his wife... | |
| thoughts on the Madrigal Carnegie One I agree with the above poster. That Carnegie 1 has to be older than dirt. Steer clear and buy something new. | |
