| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, Since Lew was not the first to ask about your "specific action . . . to achieve your level of perception", others of us might find it to be of interest as well. So why not post it here for all to read?Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, do you have the "Seinfeld" reruns on Oz TV? Your "Up is down.....right is wrong" fits perfectly into the Bizarro World. This concept from the DC comics of the '50s and '60s was famously resurrected by Jerry Seinfeld and his writers -http:/... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? I wouldn't say belt drive designs are bad, I've owned and enjoyed several during my decades in this hobby.But I do find good DD and rim drive designs to be more accurate and musically satisfying. The most obvious example came from a friend recentl... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Cocoabaroque, I would not assume that a "next generation" DD table is necessary to surpass current belt drive tables. There are many enthusiasts for refurbished Technics, Kenwood, Denon, JVC, etc. DDs who have no interest in any current BD table. ... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. James63, I recently had exposure to most of the Prestige line so will be happy to share my impressions.First up, a local dealer had taken on the Tannoy line and presented a demo session to our local audio club with the Westminster SE. I don't beli... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? T_bone, I certainly understand these are all personal choices, but I must admit to some surprise seeing your inclusion of the Triplanar on your list after stating candidates for your museum should "have the design simplicity to make them truly gre... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, if you were referring to the Teres used by my friend, it is a rim drive model, as I described initially.My friend adapted it using some sort of string to the Micro Seiki. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, as Fleib suggested, the Teres motor seems to have sufficient mass to maintain its position. I did not heft the one my friend owns but I've seen/heard it in playback several times. In the current set-up with the heavy Micro Seiki, he had a lar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, with your stable of thoroughbreds I wouldn't be looking for any other turntable either. My comments to relate my friend's experiments were just to describe a different application of the very fine Teres motor and control unit. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, here's a thought. An audio buddy bought a Teres rim-drive motor and controller to try with his Scout. It produced a wonderful (fill in audio adjectives here) improvement over the stock belt drive. That experience encouraged him to try DD so h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dialoum, while I appreciate your research and descriptions, you make one assumption that I wonder about -"The mechanical resonance is just barely outside the audible area (21k to 23k) "I realize the 20K audible area is a long-standing assumption, ... | |
| Advice for first pair of Maggies I too am considering buying Maggies, likely used. I've read about the delamination problems mentioned above so I called Magnepan for the straight answer. I was told the glue to attach the wires was changed in Sept. '05 so any speakers manufactured... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Rgs92, the (somewhat) quick history is that John Dunlavy started Duntech in Texas, I believe in the '80s, then moved to Australia in the mid-to late '80s. Most of their speakers were large and heavy so long-distance shipping was expensive. My Prin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, and others interested in stylus shape, back in the last days when Gordon Holt was still at the helm of the good ship Stereophile, his preferred cartridge was a Shure V-15 something-or-other with a conical (spherical) stylus. As I recall he wr... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Rgs92, you picked a bad example with Duntech. They are still in business, albeit without a US importer (which I feel gave more weight to my Sony story). The person who bought my Duntechs just had a midrange driver fail and was able to get matched ... |
