| Great bass from a linear tracking arm? It's not ALL just a matter of cartridge selection. It's simply that most linear tracking arm wands (plus counterweight) have a pretty low effective mass (because most of them are shorter than the standard 9 inch pivoting arms), so you just have to... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? Onhwy61, yes thanks for an interesting link/article. One of the things that struck me in the description of "twinning" and groove echo, was the fact that these conditions would render the disc defective so that it would not be used for production,... | |
| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? So far, no one has explained just how this "pre echo" signal could be subsequently produced by deformation of the uncut vinyl, into a groove just cut, and "superimposed" on that already-cut groove with the ACCURACY of an actual cut groove, necessa... | |
| Need a good high-pass Xover for Sonus REL And I join Arni and second the "disasgree" vote. I just went thru this discussion in great detail on another thread and offline. Let the Monitors' bass roll off naturally. Measure it if you can -- at what frequency does the bass START to fall off ... | |
| DIN or RCA phono plug--which is 'better'? Jonathan, thanks for your explanation. I know it's a drag to repeat things you've explained before; I do it when I have time, especially if I sense the person asking is really curious, whatever their reason. If you wanted to save time, you could h... | |
| DIN or RCA phono plug--which is 'better'? Jonathan whatever the cause, please don't blame the internet -- the SME factory has been calling them DIN plugs since 1990 (and probably before):"The high quality linear crystal oxygen-free copper audio lead selected for its electrical and mechani... | |
| RE: set up tips for Cello Reference mc cartridge Daren, email Jonathan Carr and ask him for Ikeda-san's address. Then you can send him a pic of your cart. and ask him for the specs. He'd be the best source for the information I think. | |
| DIN or RCA phono plug--which is 'better'? Jonathan, if the TA connectors we're used to seeing on SME's for instance, aren't real DINs, then what does DIN stand for in that instance, or is it a misuse of the term?Thanks | |
| DIN or RCA phono plug--which is 'better'? Psych -- from another thread:The DIN either does or doesn't come with your tonearm, which is pretty much the only place you find them in audio these days (except certain specialty umbilical cords.)So if your tonearm requires a DIN connector,it see... | |
| Is this the highest price ever paid for an LP? Test pressings are made normally (stamped vinyl) to test the stamper for flaws I guess -- and generally given to various executives, etc.Acetates are made before even a wax master is made. They are acetate-coated metal discs which are cut with a l... | |
| RE: set up tips for Cello Reference mc cartridge Daren, that's a hard question for me to answer because, as far as the electrical specifications are concerned (and assuming the ones I found are correct ;--) the Cello is more like a Miyabi.But you say it doesn't have a cantilever, and it weighs 1... | |
| Anyone know of a reasonable Tonearm Cable?? Franks, I thought the Silver Breeze (a great phono cable BTW) cost more like 600 or 800 bucks, no? | |
| Got M&K MX-150 THX for Maggies... feelings? Bob, first I'd just like to say that I feel it's probably a mistake to make generalizations about any speaker "type" be it horns, or boxes, or planar (magnetics or stats) etc. Some are very good at everything (they do) and others not. This is less... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I think 3150 is what it cost to make, in Pesos (hecho en Mexico!) Raul just forgot to take the cost off the finished product, ha ha! OK, only kidding, but one thing no one has remarked so far:Could this be the first ever high end audio product to ... | |
