| Step up transformer or upgrade phono preamp? The assertion is that MM phono-pre is more easy to make than(complex) MC -pre. The other is ''the higher the amplification thehigher distortions''. $ 600 preamp does not imply ''bad preamp''. There are ''only MM'' kinds. SUT like Denon S1 can impr... | |
| Step up transformer or upgrade phono preamp? It depends from the output of your cart(s). 60 dB amplification iscertainly not sufficient for low output carts (bellow 0,3 mV). I would recomend Denon AU-S1. Excelent SUT for about $1000second hand (new $3000). It is 40 Ohms but can be used by ea... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco Well chakster try to look modest in comparison to Raul. In particularreg. his hearing capabilities. This means that Halcro or Doverdon't need to fear critical remarks about their system all the wayfrom (big) Rusian Fedaration. However he deed not ... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco Dear Dover, I think Marx invented the expression ''accumulation ofcapital''. But, in some sense, every collector ''accumulate'' his''darlings''. Now regarding my slavic brother I am not shure whichare his darlings? Anyway he is my darling; the yo... | |

Basis with 4 , Klyne with 3 . The senseis to use the lowest possible by each cart. The ratio is ''thehigher the ... | |
| Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges? Thanks Dover, Because of similarity with Decca I was not ableto see direct connection with the stylus by Ikeda Rex. Mysimple mind assumed that this ''tieback wire'' was the ground.Left and Right channels can be easily seen on your ''U shaped pipe'... | |
| Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges? Dear Dover, My English teacher deed not respond to myrequest to explain the expression ''hoop'' which you used to explain the working of the ''tie back string'' by Ikeda Rex.You also deed not react to my question as in case of''wonder grease from... | |
| New Kiseki blackheart cartridge not sounding right. The parts , the wholes and the master. I noticed that the most''new Kiseki'' are offered on the second hand sites. Similar tovan den Huls. The question is who put the parts together toget the ''whole''? Obviously ''the master'' is involved such th... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms It is not my intention to insult lovers of EPA-100 but Ikeda statedclearly to prefer steel bearings above ''ruby'' - or ''sapphire kind''.Those used by Reed don't allow heavy counterweights. If I rememberwell EPA -100 was not suitable for MC cart... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms But now about Syntax, He is ,according to me, typical Kantian.He use expression ''absolute'' very often. Mostly in the contaxt:of ''he knows absolute nothing''. I was wise not to ask what he thinks about me but quess that he likes my (Balkan?) hum... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms The (not asked) question is ''do all bearings need lubrication?'' Looking at internet for answer I found the following: ''one canuse dry bearings for slow moving application such as tonearmsand clock bearing. But one should use ''stainless steel '... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms In my ''former life'' when Dertonarm was member I got from himthe best advices possible. Regarding the bearings and VTF ''spring'' the advice was to put the arm in the sun. The ''trick''is borrowed from watch makers . Back then , as far as I know,... | |
