Pete Riggle Woody tonearm
Dear Lew, They tested 'parasitic accoustic vibrations'inarmtubes made from different materials. You should be ableto understand those better than I. See: www.reed.lt ;research; wood vs. the rest.BTW when do you hope to receive those 2 SWs? Do you ... 
Pete Riggle Woody tonearm
Dear Lew, First thing first. Congratulation with the 2 SWs.I am only envious with people who own better speakers thanI do. Then the obvious. On the Reed site you can see measurements comparison between wood-wands as well between metal- and woodwan... 
Anti Skating adjustment
Hi Pojuojuo, I agree with what Lew stated. But to have sometangible orientation I use the Image HIFI test record withtracking ability test. With 70 mu without any buzz from theR. channel I am complete satisfy and this is in accordance with an advi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear David, 'Speculation' is actually connection of different facts put as conjunction of statements together. Regarding stylus shape and relevance I discovered that Jan Alaerts is using Fritz Geiger S (FG-S), that Lukatschek by Benz also used FG-... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear David, In my post about Fritz Gyger I mentioned that'economics' is related to the complexity of diamond polishing. The diamonds are laser cut in 'rods' which are longer then the actual stylus. Otherwise they will not fitin the holders for the...

Dear Raul, Interesting (sarcastic) statement about ignorance. Well it may be possible to do something about that. So instead to use hazy terms like 'refreshing' Iasked Axel how the suspension by a MC cart is (re) done. When I get his answer I will...

Dear Fleib, This is the problem with 'scientific' explanation. We all, I think, believe in scientific explanation and want to see them but when we get themwe , or at least the most of us, are not able to understandthem. Say 'the human condition'. ...

Dear Raul, thanks for your info about Acutex 415. Notsure about the connection with those $20 versus $18 whichcauses my sleeping problem but I assume that you are refering to the price difference between 412 and 420?Regarding your statements about...

Dear Lew, There is, I hope, some reciprocity in our mutualsympathy and esteem so I read all your post and enjoy alsoyour literary capabilities. Alas you obviously missed my post (12-05-11) about retip 'kinds' by Axel.The only cantilever of those '... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Stltrains, Speaking about 'a dead horse'. I am very skeptical about the retip of a new cart in general. I inspected all of my Acutex carts styli with my 'hand microscop' (50 x ). They all look so simple that I am not able to imagine any mod o...

Hi Selectric, You are right. While my phono-pre has actually two independant phono-pres the ground connector is common. Both cabel ground wire connected to the preground have some interfirance. Not sure if this is some kind of 'antenna' effect but... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Professor, Just in time to prevent my economic insightto make the (wrong) decission. The Italian seem (also) not to work on Saturday so I can exchange my two 420 for three M 312 on Monday. This however means that I will own 5x M 312 and as su... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, Thanks for your support. My technical shortcomings are compensated with my economic insights and those suggest to me that to pay 69 Euro, which was the price for the 420, for the value of 49 Euro of the 412, is well technicaly possible... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lew, My swiss cheese metaphor will, I hope, not applyto my 5x 412. My proposition to the Italian 'pizza' selleris to exchange two wrong 420 for either the 415 or M 312.Alas there is not much info in this thread about 415. Niceto have the whol... 
Multiple turntables
Stringreen, One of the reasons is probable that they allsound different.I use one TT (Kuzma S.R.) but with two tonearms. My Basis Exclusive phone-pre has two independent connections so I don't need to do the(risky) gymnastics like Halcro to (ex) c...
