| Outer Platter Rings If conversely you use no platter mat but place the record directly on the platter (or use a solid metal platter mat)....the outer ring tends not to then rob you of those vital ephemeral nuances.But is there a sonic benefit in this situation, apart... | |
| Outer Platter Rings Ok, so there are positives like flattening the record and more controlled bass, but also contradictory results like increased soundstage and deadened sound. lostbears: Which model ring do you use? | |
| What tonearm will better mine? If the Garrard truly is as "rough in upper-mids & treble" and "lacking in detail" as many experienced users suggestI don't think you need to worry about that. | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII Pryso: Thanks, this is good to know. | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII One question about the MA505: I've seen samples where the counterweight is drooping. Mine is fine, but if it does happen, is there a fix for it? | |
| Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505 Let’s do the physics then. Since I don't know the effective mass of the MA505, let's take Halcro’s FR64s, which I believe has 20g effective mass. Then add an 8g headshell (e.g., Yamamoto boxwood), where most of the mass is quite far from the stylu... | |
| Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505 There’s no such thing as a universal pickup arm. An arm must be matched to a cartridge that’s suitable to the arm’s mass.A mid-mass arm like MA505 with a removable headshell is as close to a universal arm as you are going to get as the weight can ... | |
| Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505 You'll find it hard to find a cartridge that doesn't work with this creationSPU. Or at least the counterweight in mine wasn't able to balance it. I bought a bigger after-market counterweight on eBay though, so should be fine now. 😎 | |
| Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505 I just installed MA505LS and have played around with MM cartridges only. It sounds very nice with Grace F9, Signet TK7LCa, A&R P77, and Empire 4000D/III. On-the-fly VTA, VTF, and anti-skating make setting it up a breeze compared to some other ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? ddriveman: I tried the mu metal shield and ERS paper on my Yamaha GT2000 between the original platter and the copper platter mat. I found the ERS paper to give more refined highs, but that could have been due to its damping effect as a slightly so... | |
| Best platter mat, especially for DD turntables I finally set up my TTS8000 and did not yet even try the original mat. I went straight into my 2.5kg copper mat + thin leather on top that I find appealing on other turntables. | |
| Best platter mat, especially for DD turntables Yes, they look like the same principle just different materials. Now that two groups of people apparently independently have found positive effects like this makes me all the more interested. | |
| Best platter mat, especially for DD turntables It does look interesting, but somehow I'd be more inclined to try wooden ones like these: http://i57.tinypic.com/10ge1pt.jpg That's from this trip about halfway down the very long page:http://killerdac.com/index.php?topic=842.380;PHPSESSID=7a831d7... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? That TOHO stuff looks very interesting! More info on TOHO:https://audio16.com/2013/10/11/copernicus-was-right/ http:///audiocirc.com/2014/03/12/more-than-a-tonearm/ http://20cheaddatebase.web.fc2.com/needie/NDTOHO/TOHO.html http://www.vinylengine.... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? GT2000/GT2000L/GT2000X seem to sell as soon as they are posted on Hifido. They probably have a waiting list. And I think the P3 there now was reserved pretty quickly after it was posted.Lewm: That reproduction brace is indeed attractive, but costs... |
