| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear @czarivey : Agree with.If for example an active gain PS was designed for cartridges over 0.3mv and has no MM stage and we want to listen a 0.20 mv cartridge then we need to change, either, the PS or the cartridge with higher output level.As ... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear @halcro : Please read very carefully here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/can-i-use-a-step-up-transformer/post?postid=1342503#1342503because those changes in quality performance level comes from the very complex interaction that produc... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear @ct0517 : """ Here the linear tracker reveals a very different soundstage, and it plays clean on the last songs of records .....very often the best songs ! But until you hear this in your own room to make a direct comparison - you don't k... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear @thuchan : Over the years I made it and still do several tests with vintage and today SUTs and with different phono stages and cartridges in my audio system and other well know friend's systems.I'm not an expert on SUTs I'm still learning a... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Dear @sunnyjim : My response is: none.As a fact exist no one AS mechanism that's accurate. It's i9mposible to have it in a totally mechanical imperfect medium with a pivoted tonearm.Any one of us can say that we hear/listen better quality perfoman... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @chakster : """ CS100 on Luxman TA-1 arm impressed me more than 980LZS on Reed 3p arm and Sp10mk2 deck.. """"there you are comparing oranges vs apples: two different tonearms with different internal wiring, two different TTs and two cartrid... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear @thuchan : For the second time in the thread you posted: """matching MCs with the appropriate SUT is not an easy job. """first time you said:""" use perfect matching cart/step up combinations thus precisely align the two facing coils you may... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @topoxforddoc : R2R?, almost everything starts there. Perhaps a trade-off with is that there is not enough software and the tapes we can find are expensive but there is no doubt that the R2R experience is worth to try it and with excelent rew... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Dear @lewm : Look I'm not saying that the DP-80 or the JVC are not good TTs/performers because both are very good but as everything in audio exist different quality performance levels on TTs too.Now, the real subject here is if those differences o... | |
| Can I use a step up transformer? Dear @thuchan : I understand your first sentence. Could you be more specific in your second part of your answer? what to do to " enter in that different musical experience?Every day is a learning day and I think I'm missing something very importan... | |
| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi Dear @stewart0722 : I respect your opinion.Why said I that the problem is not the Kleos?:other than the LP the cartridge is the star in an analog rig and its very first " slave " is the tonearm not the other way around.So if any one wants to choos... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @topoxforddoc : You are welcome.It's a " honor " for the real MM alternative that with you is surrounded for that great analog rig! and it works!As I said it's an alternative that as the LOMC alternative has its own trade-offs.Maybe the today... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Dear @lewm : You posted and " ask me: """ So, I would ask for some hard facts, like what is the platter mass, what kind of motor does it use and how much torque does it generate when needed? How is the plinth made and with what materials that w... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Dear @lewm: Again al what you want it and ask is on that link but I don't know why you did not read carefully. Btw, all the GT-2000 series has coreless motors and same torque. You need to read again.Regards and enjoy the music,R. | |
| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi Dear @stewart0722 : """ I like many other VPI ownersdid not find the Kleos to be a good match... """well, then the problem is in the VPI and not the Kleos because it's not the cartridge the one that should match a tonearm but the other way aroun... |
