| Magico - a new Mini? It's interesting that there was a lot of written by Magico about the precise 17 degree backward tilt of the Mini to time-align the drivers. The V2 and V3 also tilt back slightly, but the Q1, Q3 and Q5 appear to have vertical front baffles. Also, I... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Thanks Chris,It looks the same as the prototype from CES. I'm curious about the price and what it sounds like. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Thanks Raul. I think I understand now. Unfortunately, it takes a fair amount of effort and time to move my TT to properly realign the cartridge after doing such an experiment. I'm presently satisfied with the sound, so I'd rather not mess with it ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Raul,Could you please elaborate on this? I don't understand what you are trying to do by moving the cartridge forward or backward. Are you asking us to listen for different amounts of distortion from a cartridge that is no longer aligned properly?... | |

Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe with AIVS cleaning solutions. My ears appreciate it, the LPs deserve it. Followed by demag and... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dertonarm,I apologize but I think I may have missed something in your thread. Is the P2S for measuring the pivot-to-spindle distance or the pivot-to-stylus distance (overhang)? Could your device be used to measure either?I am considering a separat... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo, Raven 1, SME 10 Hello Moonglum,I'm asking for academic reasons which was not clear from my question. I have just read the review of the Bardo in Stereophile, my friend owns the Raven 1 and I own the SME 10 with the SME V arm. From the superficial appearance they ... | |
| Symdex speakers any information on these? Kingcrim,I have a pair of Sigmas which I bought just out of college in 1985 from Tweeter in Boston. They are in their original boxes and in storage. I still use a pair of Gammas in a second system. I don't know if I'd consider selling, but please ... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Do you have any friends who listen to vinyl? I would suggest spending some time with people who know vinyl. Listen, play and get comfortable. Also visit more than one dealer. In my opinion you need some exposure before investing that amount of mon... | |
| 12" arms - VTA advantage? Mesael,Thanks for the link. I have an SME table and prefer to use the SME damping material on the platter under the LP as I find their "record/platter interface" solution very effective. | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Sbrown,This thread is about the replacement for the Magico Mini II. It is called the Magico Q1. The Q1 design has not even been finalized, to my knowledge, let alone released for sale. A very few people have heard the prototype. Where and when hav... | |
| Magico - a new Mini? Sirspeedy,I'm another who agrees with your opinion. I own the Mini II. I love the sound AND the looks. However, there may not be enough people who have heard it or have owned it, for it to be a "true" classic. I'm afraid it is, or was, a true nich... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Thank you for the clear explanation John. I did supply Yip at Mint with the stylus to mounting hole (MH2S) distance which he used to make the (unique to my arm/cartridge combo) arc-type protractor. The stylus aligns precisely (by 10X loupe standar... | |
| 12" arms - VTA advantage? Yes, Viridian. It is clear that the arm doesn't move up or down at the base. But because of the added length, the VTA/SRA should change less with different LP thicknesses. Is this less change great enough to be audible? I guess I should have writt... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John,Could you please expand on your comment regarding the SME V arm? I have one of these and currently use the two-point MintLP protractor. What is faulty about Dertonarm's statements about the SME geometry? Thanks. |
