Dynavector cartridges, old and new
Dear chakster, Our MM thread remind me of Wittgensteins ''phiiosophical   investigation''. He was not able to formulate anyconsistent theory but made ''endless many'' philosophical''remarks''. I was not able to remember more than 10. I have noidea...

Dear chakster, Your ''argument'' remind me about our secretaryof  social affairs who stated the following: ''there are no  homo'sin our socialist society. But if there are they are in such small numbers that is not worth mentioning''. So your Dyna... 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
Dear chakster, It is not my intetion to get involved in disputes about ''either or'' questions. Your Karat 17DS has clearly gluedstylus in the cantilever. The reason is simple. The combo is notmade from one piece of diamond. By one piece diamond t...

Addition, I forget my question for Lew. The friction caused by interaction between stylus and groves produces heatfor which smaller diamonds are more ,say, ''vulnerable'' thanbigger kind. I assume that Newton should explain the difference and also...

Dear chakster, each cantilever is glued in the so called ''joint pipe''which is usually made from aluminum. On this ''pipe'' is alsocoil glued. Together with the stylus they are also called ''movingpart'' of the cartridge. So we need to include th... 
EMT Cartridges Back in Production!
Moving from Germany to Switzerland may question German''mechanical'' superiority. My problem is that I don't likeeither (grin).

@chakster , I have no idea if Russian PayPal provide warranty for items ''which are not as described'' but theEuropean  do. The only precondition is to pay via PayPalfor purchased items. Money transfer to family& friends arenot covered. The pr... 
LINN SONDEK LP12 BEARING OIL: Alternatives...
cd318, I don't believe the answer by Linn will be understoodby most of us ''not technical persons''. If I remember well bymaking the platter 200 treatments on (CNC) lathe are neededto get perfect balance . Compare this with , say, Thorens plattera... 
FR 64s tone arm lift servicing
I need ,alas, to use an ''strange expression'' in order to explainwhat I mean. I hope my English teacher Lew will provide the rightexpression? Something like ''weak glue''. Ikeda used such gluefor the cover plate on the VTF adjuster (the only acce... 
FR 64s tone arm lift servicing
Hi nkj, By loosening the screw with which the lift is fastenedto the arm you can remove the whole lift from the arm.Remove the lift from above. Then remove the black roundcover at the bottom of the lift. Then you can see how thelift lever works. T... 
LINN SONDEK LP12 BEARING OIL: Alternatives...
The platter the axle and the bearing are very precision madeby Linn. As far as i know only the bearing is changed. By eachbearing change different oil is recommended. Using other oilis not sensible because this can change mutual tolerances.  
FR 64s tone arm lift servicing
I own FR-64 kinds since the 80is. Some of them have had this problem . I ''dissected'' the whole lift ,cleaned the inside tube and put the whole together. Not easy but it can be done. No ''fluid problem'' and, besides, there is no way to add ''gre... 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
I don't think it is good idea to praise chakster to much. Healready  thinks to know everything better. He is actually ''second Raul'' but we don't need an second Raul. The one we alreadyhave is more than sufficient. Chakster is moving to the moree... 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
Dear chakster, The story I know is different. According to thisstory Prof. Hibino was very fond of Klipsch speakers butnot satisfy with dynamic performance of the existing (MC)cartridges. So he designed his own. When he was in Americahe visited Kl... 
Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one
The best part of L12 is the platter. All other parts can be substitutedfor either second hand or those of ''improved'' versions. Myguess : new springs, bearing and belt. The ''old'' Ittok is excellent arm so you will need an good cartridge in addi...
