| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Mike, I may not have made my point clearly. I too respect Albert's experience and perspective. So based on that I can accept that he believes his custom Technics to be more satisfying (better?) than his (at the time) Walker.My intended point was t... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths A question about comparisons, based on the Walker-Technics comments posted here.Many experienced hobbyists agree about the importance of component matching - speaker with room, amp with speaker, arm with cartridge. Raul was pretty specific when he... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Not to split hairs but what is a plinth?Most of us would agree the solid platforms securing motor unit and arm such as Lew's basic slate or Albert's or Mr. Dobbins' more complex designs are plinths. And the standard hollow box platform sold with m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Aolsala, I can respect your experience, history, and opinions. But one thing you said really caused a double take -"publications such as AUDIO, High Fidelity, Stereo Review, etc.. I have all of these in my collection and very informative reading i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, at least Raul and Aolsala agree that it is the whole quality of the arm, not just the mass, that affects the sonic result.In the mid-70s I bought a new XLM II, in part influenced by HP. At the time I had a Phillips turntable and arm (202? 21... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, you read through the followup posts and got the impression none were made by "any experienced audiophile"? Truly amazing! ;-) | |
| Why mono? Zaikes, the Herron line stages offer both mono and phase switching, even by remote. And there may be others, I know Joule-Electra has a mono selector on their linestage.http://www.herronaudio.com/So saying linestages won't ever again provide a mon... | |
| Why mono? Thom, Mike, Jazdoc:Would each of you state if your experience with variability in mono playbacks happens with newer mono reissues, with older original monos, or with both?Thanx | |
| Replace my Technics SH-10B3 Obsidian SP10 base? JB, Technics offered three plinths over time for the SP-10 Mk 2 and 3 series motor units. Yours, the SH-10B3 was the lightest at 26.5 lbs. Next, the SH-10B5 weighed about 38 lbs. and the last one offered, the SH-10B7 was 42 lbs. I can't be certain... | |
| Why mono? Sorry Yogiboy but as you see from the good advice offered so far, there are not just a few simple answers.But I might suggest answers start with how many mono records you own (i.e. how much time will you spend listening to mono?) and how anal you ... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Madfloyd, I picked one up Friday from Audio Revelations and Jay had at least one remaining in stock. Check with him -http://www.audiorevelation.com/cre/index.php | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, regarding your point of agreement on eliminating the "seven filters/veils", I still sometimes wonder about detachable headshells and their additional connections. I know you favor them to allow "fine tuning" for mass and resonance in matchin... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer I printed out the manual for the Fozgometer (thanks Nsgarch) after a bit of figuring to keep the pages in proper sequence -- first page blank on back side, then remaining pages back to back for 2/3 and 4/5.It all seems pretty simple but I have a q... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Ctaudio15, I would think for $5-800 you could easily find a Dyna ST 70 and upgrade it (cleaning connectors, controls, and switch, and replacing caps and weak tubes), or one already upgraded. If you check with 213Cobra he will agree with the musica... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, many, many years ago some company offered an accessory damper attachment to clip to the headshell. As I remember it there was a small, soft pad to contact the record to assist in stabilizing the arm. I never heard one so cannot comment on ef... |
