| Cartridges in general Hi dear Thuchan,we missed your contributions for some time. I am glad to seethat I provoked you to react. Alas only a part of your statement is true. The oneabout my carts(+ 50). I own since recently just two SUT's : FRT-4 and Denon AU-S1 . But I ... | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? What does ''optimal VTF'' mean? Certainly not ''recommendedVTF''. We often see something like : 1,5 -2, 5 g. But this makeno sense. Look at J. Allaerts specifications. Those ''allow'' andeviation of 0,2 g from the recommended VTF. This imply thatA... | |
| Cartridges in general Dear Lew, My photo is from the Facebook. I forget my ID but wasable to log in with my Facebook ID. I hope you will approve the winein casu: it was Barolo 2003. If I was as rich as Thuchan I wouldoffer the same wine to all of our members. But what ... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better Dear chakster, while I participated in the MM thread from 2007 and on andbought many in order not to stay behind I always prefered the MC kind.But we all try to turn our subjective preferences into some ''objective sense''.I just lately discovere... | |
| Cartridges in general Hi analogluvr, Yes much better but I need to confess that I am a novice inthis domain with limited experience . I own only two SUT's which I mentionedwhile I started with the FRT-4 only 4 months ago. There are many members withmore extended knowl... | |
| Cartridges in general My friend Dertonarm try to convince me to use a SUT 10 years ago. I wasscared by their complexity as well by my own perspective with my + 40 MCcarts because I thought that ech of them would need an special SUT.The ''pudding methaphor'' crossed my ... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better Hi Ateal, I have the imression that nobody cares about thequestion asked by the thread author. He deed not ask infoabout the FR-1 but about some ''similar but (possible) bettercart''. By describing differences between the FR-1 and the Shinonyou ob... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better Who the hell is Nany? Ateal ? What do you mean with his ''superiortaste'' in tonearms? How are we suposed to ''taste'' our arms.I love my (steel) FR -64 arms but never considered to ''taste''them for obvious reasons (aka ''hardened steel''). Pas... | |
| FR64s & Orsonic Av-1s Effective mass ? Dear Chakster, You probably enjoy making my life difficult withyour ''endless'' questions(grin). As you should know the stabilityand rigidity of the headshells are very important. You only need tolook at both headshells to see the difference. Thos... | |
| FR64s & Orsonic Av-1s Effective mass ? One can't ''balance'' the FR-64 with an lightweight headshell andcart. The old FR headshell is worthless while the Orsonic AV 101is much better than the (lightweigt) Orsonic AV-1. There are different FR-64 counter weights but difficult to get. The... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better In our discussion about FR-64/66 in which the passion was moreimportant ''argument'' than technical ussues J. Carr mentioned Ikeda 345 tonearm as ''Ikeda's best'' so far. I still love my FR-64but use the Ikeda 345. Preferably with FR-7 series cart... | |
| Need to Re-tip my Cartridge All my repairs and re-tips are done by Axel Schurholz but I justbougth an Nakamichi MC 1000 which is re-tiped by ''Expert Stylus& Cartridge.Co'' (uk) with Paratrace stylus glued in theoriginal beryllium cantilever. First class job. Not cheap (... | |
| My Cartridge needs a new Stylus I just purchased an old Nakamichi MC 1000 which is recently(30/03/16 ) re-tipped by Expert Stylus&Certridge Co, withParatrace stylus in the existing beryllium cantilever. Accordingto the bill the re-tip includes examination of the coils and s... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better Hi chakster, The diffrence between FR-7 f and fz is the higher outputby fz: 0, 2 mV versus 0, 15 mv. The 702 has the shortest cantilever.The question or the ''problem'' of the stylus shape is not yet settled.So conical stylus is still relevant. An... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better I don't remember postfix ''f'' after Mk 3 but I compared the FR-1with my series 7 carts : FR-7f, FR-7 fz and 702. The FR-1 wasvery good with piano music but the 7 series are in a different league. That is why I sold the FR-1. to andremusik. For a ... |
