| Can I use a step up transformer? The design philosophy of my Basis Exclusive is the opposite ofthe design of Halcro's Halcro. My MM stage can be only used inunbalanced mode while except the input capacity for 100pF and 320pF there are no other adjustment possibilities. The MC adj... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? The fact is that, say, Ortofon and Fidelity research, made SUT'sfor nearly each MC they produced. It is also a fact that the mosttube pres use SUT's for the added amplification (to the MM stage).The question is if the later ''transistor pres'' com... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear chakster, I used Van den Hul D 501 and Silver Cable withLustre (then) and with FR-64 s (silver version) at present. If youare not familiar with ''Silver Cable'' consult Don (Griffiths). | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Yes dear Lew, ''All'' those languges have equivalent methaphorsbut in translation they all mean the same: ''pulling (Thuchan's) orsomeone else leg (grin). | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? There is no way to understand our hobby without understandingwhat passion means. Here we have a case in which both our''brothers'' share the analog passion in general and passion forTT's in particular. The difference is that Thuchan deceded whicho... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear chakster, I prefer the Lustre 801. Excelent tonearm but withmediocre lift construction. And, as Raul already recommended, thecounterweight(s) should be used in the usual way avoiding magneticVTF adjustment. This way the counterweight(s) can b... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Thuchan , I called my attitude about TT's an ''deviation'' andnot ''extravagance''. From your comment I need to deduce that myKuzma Stabi Reference and my SP 10,mk 2 are ''mediocre'' TT's.Well as I stated in the ''other thread'' I have no int... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? The Sony PUA 237/ 286 also uses some irregular shaped ''cam''fastened at the collar of the arm (aka: vertical bearing). But this''cam'' is connected with an tension wire which can be adjustedin correlation with the VTF and/or stylus shape. I thoug... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Thuchan, I am a novice in this field and also very cautiousbecause of mentioned Dertonarm's ''theory'' reg. matching relationship. So I started with FR-FRT-4 which has 3, 10, 30and 100 Ohms possiblities. I wanted to ''cover'' as many of myMC ... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Stringreen, I deed not say to have any distortion in the rightchannel of my Triplanar. I confirmed Lew's statement thatdistortion will start in the right channel if the anti-skate forceis not sufficient. This can be easilly checked with tracking a... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear Lew, Your premise about magnetic anti-skate provisionis questionable and this imply that your conclusions are also questionable. I own the Reed 3 P and Lustre 801 both with magnetic anti-skate provisions. There may be some reduction of the ma... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? The most accurate anti-skate provision is provided by SonyPUA 237/286. By this provision the anti-skate force is differentdepending from the record radius. Neither later Sony tonearms nor any other manufacturer has copied this ingenious invention... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Thuchan, How could I know; I own only two? | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear Tuhchan, the reason of my reluctance to mess with SUT'swas Dertonarm's description of matching the impedance andinductance of involved carts and SUT's. I own + 40 MC cartswith impendance variations from 2 Ohm till 48 Ohms. From thepictures of... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? In the other Thucham's thread about EMT 927 I confessed notto care about TT's but well about carts and tonearms. Who wouldthink that I could get support from Raul? That is to say in the sensethat carts and tonearms are more important (grin). |
