| TT/Tonearm/cartridge interaction theory? There's also an accurate easy to use (no formulas) compliance chart at:www.cartridgedb.comDoes anyone know the physical difference (i.e. how they're measured) between dynamic compliance and static compliance, and whether you can use them interchan... | |
| tt setup problem? Tfk, you would think that wouldn't you, but because of the tonearm offset (the little angle the headshell is cocked at) and the stylus overhang, it is possible using a good cartridge alignment protractor, to adjust the cartridge so it's perfectly ... | |

| What will it take to have live music for everyone? I don't think it's just the expense (up to a point of course.) I mean, I see folks spending gobs of money these days on stuff I consider frivolous things, or experiences with short-lived stimulation/rewards.I think the real reason for the limited ... | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help Dgad, You do this test lowering the stylus into a grove somewhere in the middle of the first recorded band, not into the lead in groove.Yes I imagine it's a bit tough to read the movement of the cantilever with as low a compliance cartridge as the... | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help Dgad, Linear trackers don't require anti-skate because there is no torque created around a pivot point as in a conventional arm.It sounds like your arm is set up OK, and I think the Dynavector must just need some more run in (especially since if I... | |
| Power Conditioner AND Power Cable B-bear,1. The Venustas PC worked very well on both my amp and my EP-15A, but in both cases, the Dominus produced just a bit more openness or air. This difference must be due to the slightly different construction of the two. In addition to the ext... | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help I've already remarked about Tobes' powers of observation, and after checking Dgad's pics, I would have to agree with him. Nevertheless although it's true that:"The armtube must be postioned within the two lines on the template for the antiskate to... | |
| Power Conditioner AND Power Cable "How 'bout from the conditiner to the unit??" Would depend what kind of unit you're talking about. Here's an excerpt from an email I sent someone last night who was asking my opinion of a particular PC:I use a variety of PCs based on their cost/pe... | |
| Broken AudioQuest Caldera speaker cable ends... AQ will definitely reterminate them -- but they may make you go thry a dealer, check with them directly first.You should be able to get all repairs (including the ML) covered by your homeowner's insurance (less your deductible.) | |
| Power Conditioner AND Power Cable I tried a number of different PCs w/ my Exactpower EP-15A. All of them were 10AWG size conductors, which i would definitely recommend as a minimum.For me, the best is the Purist Dominus, which slightly bettered even the very good Purist Venustas. ... | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help Tobes, how VERY observant of you -- I'm impressed! I don't know if that's Dgad's problem (his Condor seems to work OK) but it might be. | |
| Cartridge Break-In Doug, you're quite right, none of this applies to stepup transformers. Just to confirm you findings (somewhat), if you take the 25x factor and apply the +/_ 50% range, it would come out 12.5x to 37.5x, which is another way of calculating the range... | |
| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer In 1980, equipment didn't have the kind of resolution it has today, so that's a moot point. True, one's money is best spent first on acquiring the best components; if the equipment isn't up to it, the extra resolution provided by top notch cables ... | |
| Madrigal cartridge loading? If anybody could help you with local service, it would be Tom Evans. I'd write to them and ask if they could direct you to a USA service station.I don't know any design particulars about that unit, but since all cartridges it seems have different ... |
