| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! Copy is a kind of compliment in the sense of admiration. If onecan't see the difference , as is the case, with many paintings whyshould we care? However I was glad to obtain this FR B-60replica for $500 instead to pay + $2000 for the original Iked... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x @sampsa55 , Thanks for enriching my tonearm collection withFR-64 fx. I own both 64 S kinds in the sense of silver and copperwire. I also own Ikeda 345 . Alas not FR64 fx. But I need to start with my Sumiko 800 (''the arm''). The arm is designed by... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x @chakster , Your Lustre 801 has only the (thin) armwand made from steel. The same apply for the SME ''R'' kinds.The effective mass by FR-66/64 S depends from the usedheadshell and counterweight. I never used any of the FRheadshells because I consi... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x The FR 66/64 S (''S'' for steel) were produced from hardened steeland become to expensive to produce. That is why Ikeda decidedto produce FR 66/64 FX made from aluminum which is more easyand much cheaper to produce. Curious but true the same happe... | |
| RCA vs Phono cable A phono cable has the so called Din 5 connector on the arm sideand RCA (or XLR) connectors for the amp. connection. | |
| Moving coil and Moving magnet really the same for my cartridge? 47 K is standard for the MM phono-pres. The cart producersshould follow this standard. They can't expect their customersto mess with resistors. The most have no idea what resistorsare (grin). | |
| Moving coil and Moving magnet really the same for my cartridge? HOMC means much more wire for the coils while reduction ofmass by moving parts by MC carts is conditio sine qua non forthe fast reaction of the moving parts: stylus/cantilever combo +coils. Obviously (?) HOMC carts are made to be used with MMphono... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? The obvious assertion in this thread (so far) is that ''any'' phono-pre has just two amplifications , say, 40 dB for the MM and + 56for the MC kinds. But I own two phono-pres (Basis Exclusiive) andKlyne 3.5 with 4 amplification stages for the MC '... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? There are people who claim to have talked with the Almighty.Hearing is of course the necessary condition next to ''somelanguage'' ( among other conditions) for such occurrences. The question is why most will refuse to believe that thosepersons h... | |
| Is a SUT needed? @czarivey , My ''headache'' was matching impedance and inductance between my + 40 MC carts and SUT's. Howevermy Denon AU-S1 covers 2-40 Ohms so I don't need to buy,say, 10 SUT's. However my post about moving parts and theirmass is more easy to gra... | |
| Is a SUT needed? @czarivey , ''cartridges with sufficient output....are plenty-plenty''.The moving parts by MC carts are stylus, cantilever and coils.Reducing the moving mass by styli and cantilevers (tubed- boron,sapphire or beryllium) would make not much sense i... | |
| cartridge repair....repair service center needed Dear @frogman , my advice was not accidental. First gluing annew stylus in the ''old'' cantilever is much more difficult than gluingthe cantilever/stylus combo in the so called ''joint pipe''. Second notevery repair service offers this possibility... | |
| Is a SUT needed? The Dutch are collective convinced that the Germans haveno sense for humor. However I deed find some ''contrary''evidence. I don't mean their ''Wein, Weiber und Gesang'' (drinks,women and music) but propositions like: ''the thoughtsare tax free''... | |
| Jelco Headshell for Ortofon Arm Jelco HS 25 is also sold by other names like Sumiko, Lpgear,etc.Different names and prices but the same headshell. Excelent inmy opinion. The 4 pin connector can be extended and movedaround such that azimuth as well effective lengt of the stylusca... | |
| cartridge repair....repair service center needed Dear frogman, According to J. Carr the least harm by the socalled ''refurbishing'' is the stylus only exchange. Cantilever(boron) + stylus is about $500. Monster cartridge can be getfor about the same price. The best ''place'' for the new stylusis... |
