Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
Chakster, Ledermann's lectures are just a marketing tool. There is truth in them but also unfortunately distortions designed to favor his products. In Peter's case I actually think he believes himself. This is what happens when you let assumptions... 
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
Thank you roberjerman, exactly. One thing though. Joe Grado (a watch maker) invented the moving coil cartridge. For some reason I have not been able to ascertain he switched to moving iron. Obviously he thought it better for some reason. I wish I ... 
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
I never held on to cartridges I didn't think I would use any more. Fortunately, the urge to buy another one has not struck yet. Your ears are rather simple devices. It is actually the state of your mind. Your psychological state changes the way yo...

I love unrestrained dynamic range:) 
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
No arguement lewm. It is a subjective matter but when it comes down to the scientific details I like to see a fair and even presentation. When I see a skewed one my BS antenna goes up.I guess I am lucky. Currently my least expensive cartridge is t...

phil, turn the volume down. If you still hear the distortion it is most likely your cartridge miss-tracking in which case you have to go over your tone arm set up. Koetsu's are not the best tracking cartridges. It could also be the cartridge overl... 
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
chakster, these lectures are a great example of how you can bend data to support pretty much anything. Peter also conveniently forgets to mention that a mass at the fulcrum has significantly less effect than a mass at the very end of the lever. Th...

Yes Iwin you have a point. What really bothers me is when they are pushing a theory which is blatantly wrong and refuse to accept that they have made a mistake in spite of numerous very respected posters disagreeing with them. People can make very...

Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Geoffkait, I think you have been reading Shakespeare again:)Mahgister, On thinking about it I made one mistake. While dealing with the acoustics of a room is pretty straight forward there are some rooms that are never going to sound great. Most of... 
Is there a physical and ritual connection with the analog LP?
My post got pulled. I did not think it was all that controversial but someone must have had a problem with the word "erection."I am married to the most beautiful woman and my problem is that she does not ignore me enough. You can only take so much... 
Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System
Thank you mahgister. I have the picture. Yes, these are all important considerations that need to be addressed for the best performance but neither are they a mystery or all that difficult to deal with.  
EAR founder has cancer
Also, if you do not like your personal physician find one you do and stay away from nurse practitioners. They may be well intentioned, nice people but they do not have the facility or training to function appropriately as a personal physician. The... 
EAR founder has cancer
He is still on this side of the grass and there are new therapies for metastatic colon cancer so we do pull it off once in a while. If he is a tough guy he might just make it through this one. Us guys tend to ignore problems until they "bite us in... 
Toole and why I like Tone Controls
Not so audiophilenm, at least in the digital world. I was just like you until about 2000. I just played the music at whatever volume it sounded best but there are several factors that even the smartest audio person can not control for. If I measur...
