| Curved and Straight Tonearms Dear Lew, If there was something wrong with lateral balance orshape by FR-64 Raul would of course mention this many timesinstead of ''damping problem''. I made a considerable profit onhis recommended MM carts because those increased in priceas re... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms helomech, The Germans have this curious opinion: ''if theory andpractice coincide than both are probably false''. I own the FR-64 designed by Ikeda san but also Ikeda 345 . Both have the same'S' shape but the later is without the lateral weight. ... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms The J and S shape tonearms (need to) use the so called ''lateralbalance'' weight in order to get equal pressure on both horizontalbearings. The J kind is difficult to balance while the S can bebalanced by lifting up the front side of the TT and th... | |

| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear dover, I quote from Lew's post ( 06-27-017) :'' I have beenusing the Eichmann silver bullets, etc. ''because I see a soundphilosophy behind their design''. I refered to this philosophyas ''one point ground'' and ''as less metal as posible''.... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear chakster, I am not Frank but guess that the price differencebetween Neutric and Eichman is the reason. One usually don'task his butcher about the quality of his meat. There is even a Dutch saying about this: ''the bucher should not value his ... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? I like comical stories if they can enlighten the issue involved likea kind of introduction. Two Serbian hunters are walking in themontain searching for animals. ''Look there at the top of themontain: a (montain) goat''. ''You must be blind'' say t... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear chakster, The Germans have a curious attitude aboutphilosophy. They collectivly admire their Hegel and Kant butalso state: ''there is nothing so easy as to refute an philosopher.The only thing one need to do is read some other''.Compare this ... | |

| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear chakster, It is a question of preference while we also needto save on something or other. So I use, for example, Bullet RCAinstead of WBT (grin). Thanks to my brother Don (Griffiths) I can get those Signal cables with discount and use for bot... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear chakster, There is some truth in the old Roman confusionbetween the truth and the autority. Aristoteles still rule in somesocial ''sciences'' with his autority. Well as Rauls best studentyou should be sensitive for his argument. You of course... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Dear chakster, I meant corrosion of the copper wire but assumethat everyone changed those old RCA connectors(grin). I alsostated ''with some exception'' by tonearm producers who madetheir own phono-cables. For example Ikeda produced silver cablewh... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? My impression by the most Japanese tonearms ( I was tonearmcollector earlier) was /is that they all used Din 5 -RCA cablesprovided by the same supplier. All of them with copper wire whichcoroded as function of time. There are of cource exceptions ... |
