| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Among many arts there is also the ''art of searching for theexceptional carts''. My young brother Chakster is too modestto claim such gift. But one can ''deduce'' this gift from hiscart collection. Say FR-7fz, Takeda's Miaybi ... etc., etc.Not to ... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Well we again are confronted wirh parts and wholes. Bytrying to reduce ''weight'' or ''mass' there is not much choicepossible. Either coils or cantilevers as part of moving parts.So if ''mass reduction'' is the aim then those two are primary''obje... | |
| Stylus shape? The paradox is that when you are young you want to be olderwhile when you are older you want to be young. You dear chakster have ''other'' problem than I. | |
| Stylus shape? Dear chakster, your statement is too ''general''. Nanric refer alwaysto specific MC's and their designers. That is how you learned from your older brother wich one to buy (grin). | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration SME V or IV are ''obvious'' partners for SME 20 TT. The postfix12 may mean 12'' tonerarm. This would mean that the TT isdesigned with those arms in mind. The seller sold them as separates to get higher price | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? They are unsurpassable optimist considering conditions whicheven professional speaker designer need to satisfy in orderto poduce ''decent speakers''. Talent and musicality are alsoneeded otherwise ''tuning'' has no sense. There are unknownmany spe... | |
| Stylus shape? Dear chackster, Freud invented ''super ego'', ''common one'' and''it''. This would mean that there are 3 of us in each of us. I thinkthat ''super chakster'' would be exactly the same as the other two. BTW I thought that you prefer ''micro ridge'' ... | |
| Stylus shape? By ''parts versus wholes'' discussions we can clearly see thediffernce between ''holistic'' and ''parts'' (quality) approach. Buymusical (aka ''sound'') valuation we can easilly see that ''parts''approach does not work. As example we can mention ... | |

His Virgo was the cheapest Stereophile A class contender ($5000). His next was Calderaconsidered in Germany as ''measure of things''. But in USA someone ... | |
| Alphason HR 100 MCS - Re-wire or not? Addition, Instead of rewiring you should buy Clearaudio clipsbecause your arm has fast headshell which means using the same clips by each cart change. There are hardly clips sutablefor this jobe. Besides your arm is +30 years old. That is why yuo... | |
| Alphason HR 100 MCS - Re-wire or not? My ''combo'' is Kuzma Stabi Reference with Reed 3 P and Sumiko800 (''the arm''). I started this hobby with tonearm collection andmoved to cart collection because of the ''MM thread''. The MCSversion of your tonearm is the most expensive kind becau... | |
| Deed any Usher BE-20 owner try the new diamond mid-range driver? The crossover for both; BE-10 and BE-20 is designed byJoseph D' Appolito. World authority reg. crossovers. To ''improve''those huge amount of arorgance is needed. But American andEuropean versions are ''tuned'' + 3 dB above 35000 Hz. Theassuption... | |
| Deed any Usher BE-20 owner try the new diamond mid-range driver? I was not able to find diamond tweeter enywhere. So I will firsttry to tame beryllum tweeter with extra resistors. I think that Usherstrategy is to sell the same speakers with new drivers instead tosell drivers as separates. The difference in pric... | |
