| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Dear Lewm: +++++ " o the wooden arm wand in combination with a euphonic kind of "resonance", for want of a better word, that could occur in the unipivot tonearms I used to listen to in days of yore... " +++++as almost always but especialy with ton... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro: Usualy I listen at 83db-84db but when I'm testing my system or a " new " item/cartridge I always make two tests: I heard at around 76db on SPL ( continuous at seat position. ) and at around 95db.The latest one give you very clear the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro: I forgot, please test the FR at continuous 95db SPL at seat position with around peaks on the 102db for at least 20-30 minutes and see what " happen ", what is what you experienced?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro: The one I tested was the 6SE. About compliance you can check against the XV-1 (with VTF in between: 1.8grs to 2.0 grs. ) and see how the FR cantilever with the same VTF than the XV-1 ( I just do it. ) goes down a little further that t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Waynefia: IMHO the 140LC is worth for a new stylus ( after you tested what you have right now, maybe works fine. ) or the 155LC up date.Five dollars for it?, that's a real bargain. I think the best you can do is test that cartridge for you ca... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear friends/Halcro: I already have on hand the FRs cartridges 6 and 5 ones ( courtesy of Mario. He worked for five years in Japan. ) along the Signet 5ea.I was " playing " with all them and permit me to report my findings first on the FRs:first t... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517: With TTs I always used/use it three 616 footers . Normaly you don't need four exception with the heaviest ones.Remember that each footer has a weight range from 2.5kg to 15kg.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| Phono Input or new Phono preamp? Dear Fatgh0st: IMHO your KW500 is a lot better that what the people here seems to me they are thinking.I agree with Johnnyb53, IMHO the best you can do is to work/test your MF KW500 with a good MM cartridge ( as a fact your unit was designed for u... | |
| What defines a high compliance cartridge vs low Dear Mechants: I don't have nothing to add on what other people posted other that could be nice and a " surprise " to you if you try/test that Goldring 1042 cartridge in the VPI set up. That cartridge has a lot better quality performance that you ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris /all: The " naked TT project " is similar as what happen with the MM/MI alternative: many people are trying/testing with no posts in the threads.Both alternatives are so un-expensive and so easy to achieve that IMHO it is an audio " was... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Halcro: You are IMHO spot-on in your last two posts.On the first " plinths "+ subject we need to think " too " that not only the floor works as a plinth but the Earth's nucleus too!!!!In the other side a debate exist only because the ones tha... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Atmasphere: Yes, that could be a " plinth " but that is not the subject here but the TT naked it self .In this same thread I posted that we always can hang on the TT from the ceiling and now what : the ceiling is the " plinth ".?The subject i... | |
| How important is the tonearm? I forgot, that was at hardware level we can't forget that all that system hardware ( including cartridge. ) works in favor of software/LPs.Raul. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Lewm: So, that's means that all you own in your system were a placebo like where things are you were ready/prepare to like it? or it is only the " humor " you wake up today?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| How important is the tonearm? Deare Acadie: For many years I " supported " that the tonearm and cartridge are one and only one audio item not two audio items.The in between relationship is so critical on quality performance level that made a hard " task " try to separate one e... |
