| Technics 1200G VTA Lock or unlock is the question? Actually, upon reading back through the responses, I thought LewM was going to conclude by saying that AZIMUTH may be affected (which is a distinct possibility) but rather he refers to VTA.VTA, I suspect, is unlikely to be noticeable because I dou... | |
| Technics 1200G VTA Lock or unlock is the question? Given the precision of manufacture of the device it could be more of a resonance issue with the tonearm(?)Try strong (sustained) female vocal notes and see how the arm tracks/behaves. | |
| Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ? Kingbarbuda,Regarding Mye stands, although there does seem to be a great deal of positive feedback on these, I recall either Jim Winey or Wendell saying some years ago in response to such criticism that Magnepan had tried a large number of variati... | |
| Custom tonearm boards - who makes them to spec? Normally I would suggest the TT manufacturer but I understand TTWeights was sold off to another company(?) They might be the ones to contact.I would also suggest avoiding Delrin if the arm board is cantilevered. It’s nowhere near strong enough (ev... | |
| Phono cartridge grading I repeat my original observation (which seems to have disappeared).There are 2 entries for the same cartridge i.e. Cartridgeman Music Maker Mk III, listed at 110 & 189. | |
| Cartridge issues need suggestions Pops,I was adding to NoRomance’s suggestion (and your agreement to try it) a note of caution depending on the vintage of your soldering gear ;)I personally am not proposing that you apply a soldering iron to your cartridge pins. I would suggest ge... | |
| Cartridge issues need suggestions Pops,Yes I think an autopsy is a good idea.Bear in mind that if you apply a soldering iron to make sure no residual solder actually makes contact. (Gold can/will diffuse into solder although that comment applies to old-fashioned tin/lead.)My first... | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter Audioguy, Mercifully the last incident was quite a while ago so I’m well into recovery ;) :D :DCaptain Winter,This is the principle in which a dropped sandwich always falls jam face down on the kitchen floor. As a complication, they always fall to... | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter Mijostyn, LOL!I guess I’m just naturally careful - especially where such mishaps have a severely adverse effect on my wallet!PTSD doesn’t begin to describe it. :D :D | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter They do tend to bounce when an accident happens. :(It’s a horrible feeling and you have my sympathy.Looking on the bright side, from what you describe, if you can still hear both channels as normal, then I doubt that any significant harm has been ... | |
| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge Hi Pani,I had a feeling you’d be familiar with Bob’s work but I had to ask. ;)All the best :) | |
| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge Bergmann typed but auto-corrected to “Bergman”.... :( | |
| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge My best advice would be to consult Bob Wood’s Channel on You Tube.These are downloads which allow the virtual perception of a PTP Solid12 through your own system with a variety of upmarket MCs and MIs. Easier than uprooting your Solid12 and taking... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment Cleeds,It is not quite clear what you are saying here...You are the only person so far who claims to have measured it and obtained the result you describe.Was this a recent measurement i.e. did this phenomenon happen on your current system? If so,... | |
| Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment Dear HDM,Brilliant post! I didn’t even know this one existed!I know Werner from PFM and he is a very good guy. His knowledge of electronics, digital & analogue, is even more impressive.What is interesting about his measurements is that that th... |
