| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry but this "refresh" thing has become a bit confusing. Raul, I had a similar question as Lew on what you auditioned but he beat me to posting.So Raul, van den Hul will replicate the original stylus profile if requested with a retip, rather tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, see the link in my 3/7 post. It shows pictures of both the PCL-4 and 5, plus gives Denon's weights. It lists the 5 at 6g as Raul suggested. The PCL-7 is 8.5g. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Alignment protractors, another small diversion from the MM subject. But this is important stuff so I'm not objecting.It seems to me that all set-up devices, be they arc, two point, or single point such as my Dennesen Soundtracktor, attempt to achi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? With the mention of Denon headshells I had to rummage through my parts box. Yes, I found I have a Denon but no model indication. So before posting an ID question here I did a search. To save others the trouble, here is a handy table I found. I dis... | |
| The frontier between ''vintage'' and ''junk'' ? Almarg, your reference is interesting but my hard copy Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary goes further with an additional definition -"of old, recognized, and enduring interest, importance, or quality".I read that to mean it requires more than ag... | |
| The frontier between ''vintage'' and ''junk'' ? Sonicbeauty, I agree with your implied position.Scanning posts on Vintage Asylum I'm amazed and amused by many of the products discussed. Lots of amps, receivers, speakers, etc. were not considered all that good when they were new so why get excit... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, confession time. I ended up purchasing a Denon DL-102 mono cartridge which has a 0.7 mil conical stylus. This was based on numerous favorable comments from users plus an attractive price of roughly $125 (no exact memory on this, it was months... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rich, Re: mono cartridgesAfter doing research on mono playback (I have several hundred mono LPs), I posted this on another site. No one posted a dissenting perspective.I believe you must first consider which records you will be playing before buyi... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... I always felt Mr. Dunlavy recommended long wall placement to keep the speakers as far from sidewalls as possible in an average living room. Also, he apparently didn't mind the bass loading of having the listener's head so close to a wall as most s... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... Jim, from what I know of the DAL speakers, the VI, V and IV are very similar except for bass response. Therefore I'll suggest doing a search with all three to add to your information base.Good luck and have fun. | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Every room is different, to say nothing of our differences in personal taste.When I owned my Princesses, I went through a careful exercise to achieve the smoothest bass response in my living room. Note that was different than seeking the maximum b... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Interesting stuff Dertonarm. Even though they have very solid reputations, the Kuzma arms are obviously way down the "quality audio" scale. Their Stogi arm utilizes ABEC 5 bearings while the Stogi Reference has ABEC 7. This then is likely just abo... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lew, wild guess here. On Vinyl Asylum there has been some discussion of boiling rubber tt belts to restore original tension, apparently as recommended by VPI. I'm wondering if you could boil your warped mat in an appropriately sized pan to see if ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lew, not to muddy the waters but I believe there was more than one mat for the Technics. My Mk2A has the matching mat as the parts list, SFTG172-01. I saw another on a Mk2 that had more circular ribs and seemed to be lighter/less hard. I don't kno... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FYI, the supply of Azden cartridges sold out while I waited for a confirmation from the seller that it included the standard mount adapter. My caution meant I missed getting one. |
