| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Derton, regarding your 2/20 post detailing your experience with various arms, one point is not clear to me. As I read it, one of your main concerns relates to ". . . stress on the cantilever/suspension system of the cartridge mounted. And it does ... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Unsound, the manual for my Princess showed an equilateral triangle for speakers and prime listening seat. Also, I had the pleasure of chatting with John a couple of times in person and discuss speaker set up. Equilateral is what he advocated and h... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Hi Jonathan. I owned Duntech Princess (older sibling to the DAL SC IV) for 19 years and have four friends who also owned or still own that model. Based on that I've had quite a bit of experience with rooms, placement, amps, etc.I absolutely agree ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Any recommendations for a glue that could be broken/cut when stylus replacement time rolls around? I would guess Super Glue and similar products to be too permanent. But what about a clear glue intended for plastic models like cars, planes, etc.?O... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for the reply. But if I'm not out of line for suggesting it, whenever you test a cartridge that does not come up to your expectation but believe more playing time might help, why write a comment at that time? Why not wait until you ar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I understand that your 1-10 rating system is purely a subjective way to order the relative performance of the many cartridges you test. And so long as we do not get hung up by thinking "I'd better get rid of X because it is only a 7 so I can... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel, I like your theory. Furthermore, I believe it applies to every component in our respective systems, not just these dust-gathering cartridges. | |
| Cassette deck enthusiasts...... Two (or three) options with very good performance but less hype than the Naks (which were good once you got above the 400 series) were any of the three-head versions of Aiwa and Pioneer and Pioneer Elite. | |
| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? I have an older SFG-2, at least 20 years, and have never had any problem during that time with MC cartridges, regardless of output. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ah, if life could only be simpler!All this discussion of improved playback for some cartridges with elevated arm height to increase VTA is interesting. And while it is not my intent to question listening responses of others, I just read an interes... | |
| Slate under speakers? Slate is becoming a favored material for custom turntable plinths due to its characteristic of dissipating micro-vibrations. It is not simply mass as several other materials can offer that as well. Apparently it is the layering process when the sl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Royi, Raul, any information about the LTD designation on the Empire LTD 750 which Raul recommended some time ago and where it fits into the Empire range? All your discussion about the EDR is what raised the question for me.I must admit that all th... | |
| Specs for Duntech/Dunlavy PCL-15s? Ramilio, these were Duntech, not DAL models. If you don't receive info from an owner here, you have two other options. Contact Duntech in Australia, although someone else posted disappointment from their contact saying no information forthcoming, ... | |
| Question regarding reputation of SOTA tables To over simplify, there are two approaches to this hobby. Buy quality, matched components, keep them in top operating condition, forget about constant upgrades and enjoy your music for years. Or buy highly recommended components that may not neces... | |
| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? Last I knew, HW recommended Dynavector and Grado cartridges with his arms/tables. Any chance you can audition any models from these two to see if they might suit you? |
