| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear David, I already posted about Axel's cantilevers and styli. You forget sapphire ( he repairs all B&O carts) and beryllium cantilevers. J.Carr explained in this thread why he uses boron and in some other thread that he does not like ruby (... | |
| Bonus Rega 301 arm on Thorens TD 2030 Kevvwll, The 'spring buseness' make the tonearm 'dynamic' in opposition to 'static'. The advantage seems to be a better handling of 'warps' on the LP's. The disadvantage isthe 'added' resonances of the spring. This issue is discussed to 'death' in... | |
| Getting a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua rebuilt There is also Axel option (www.schallplattennadeln.de). +/-4 weeks wait. You can ask Axel what you like but he need tosee your cart first. The used expressions are rather vaque.'Retip' means ususaly exchanging of the cantilever/styluscombo while i... | |
| Jamo Concert VII's To my knowledge Jamo Concert 8, Concert 11 and the (big)Orelle(?) are the best speakers Jamo produced. Concert 8(two-way) and Concert 11 (floorstander) use the same middrivers and tweeters ( SEAS EXCEL). As made for each otherfor a multi-channel s... | |
| Bonus Rega 301 arm on Thorens TD 2030 I use the Raga 301 with the Thorens 160 S in my second system (testing MM carts). The only difference with the 300 is the base . Rewiring is an must and easy to do (your self) because of the arm-construction. Ie easy acces to thetubewand. If you u... | |

| Using Test LP - curious observations I owned the Sony PUA 237 some 30 years (?) ago but stillremember this peculiar 'bias compensator'. To refreshmy memory better I checked by the Vinylengine. Just onequote from the user manual reg. 'bias compensator': 'Inconventional method ,M' is a... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Tonywinsc, This is not my field so I will put my question in laymans vocabulary. The record grooves get 'smaller' towards the spindle while the platter has the same speed (33 or 45). So the stylus travels shorter distance towardsthe end of the rec... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Tonywins, 'Risky business' to desagree with an engeneer butdeed you not overlook the velocity by point 2? You mentioned only the groove modulation as a cause for the anti-skate variation. In my experience only Sony made specific provision for the ... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Dear T_bone, There are many (LO)MC carts with low compliance. To assume that tracking capability is important is the same as to assume that those producers have no idea what they their job is about. I know since 80s that 50 micron on the test Reco... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Dear Lostbears, To save you from the 'digital alternative'as well to save you some money I need to add that thereare more 'alternatives' by Clearaudio MM carts. According to Fleib all Clearaudio MM carts use the same 'generator'.The difference in ... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Dear Lostbears, The best MM cart I own (my opinion also)is the Virtuoso wood. As you probable know whenever a cart get recommendation by Raul and others this cart becomean 'object of disire' so we all hunt for this cart. HoweverI was able to buy t... | |
