| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @lewm 1++ @cleeds Not warm and fuzzy at all. I do not plan on using him again. Music Direct sets the warranty in this country. They are a large outfit with soldiers who just follow orders. Getting to anyone who might change the game plan is nex... | |
| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge @williewonka That hum is typical of the old cartridges with some turntables. The newest ones are not supposed to have that issue | |
| Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2? @drbond , I have communicated directly with Dohman on a number of occasions and Martin loves to talk. I can't believe they would not treat you well. I haven't ever bought one of their tables yet! Guys, It is not even remotely close. The CS Port ... | |
| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge I think the most important part of a modern cartridge is the stylus cantilever assembly. In the LVB the upgrade to the boron cantilever which is stiffer and lighter will improve detail, transient response and tracking. The stylus effects high freq... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @stringreen , IMHO periphery clamps are a Pita and an accident waiting to happen. They are totally unnecessary if you get a reflex clamp like the SOTA. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @lewm , @terry9 Wow, hold on now. Lew, there is supposed to be a firm rubber washer about 0.5 to 1mm thick and 1/2 to 3/4" in diameter over the spindle, under the record. The Sota REFEX clamp contacts the label only at its very edge. When you ti... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @daveyf I agree. 3 months for an $11,000 cartridge is worse than weak and I believe this policy is being set by Music Direct. My only recourse (NH does not have minimum warranty laws.) Is to let everyone I can know and avoid Music Direct and any... | |
| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge @jasonbourne71 , @williewonka Grado can make a great cartridge, I do not think they enter their own until they get away from elliptical styluses. I owned a 103 and like the Linn LP 12 everyone wants to make mods to them because they are all ove... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @daveyf , Sure, I went through the dealer and he did not get any further than I did. He is an approved dealer. Warranty is three months and that is it regardless. I wish to remind everyone that MoFi is now owned by Music Direct. Since I have s... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @wrm57 , @ghdprentice , @mulveling @rauliruegas , @drbond @newtoncr @wrm57 @rsf507 I have a friend in Japan. He tried to get through to MSL and could not! He kept getting bounced to distributors like MoFi (Music Direct). If I had known thi... | |
| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge Absolutely not! Reviews are always positive. You are for better off going for a good MM cartridge than a cheap MC. Get an Ortofon 2M Black LVB version. It will be a noticeable improvement but don't expect to be bowled over. To do better with an MC... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @lewm 1++ For turntables that are not supplied with a reflex clamp the Sota is the best. It must be used with a firm mat and a thin rubber washer over the spindle. It the mat is too soft the edges of the record will curl up. The issue here i... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum I will also note that MoFi is owned by Music Direct. Who I am going to send a polite letter. | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @terry9 I had one of the very first Rosewoods and did not like like it. I had a Grado Statement and it was much better, so I am sure you are right. The Epoch is on my short list including the Hyperion and DRT-XV-1T. My current favorite is the Ly... | |
