| Cable Cooking/Burnin Runnin, that is correct. Also the wires need to be separated enough to not short out with each other. Using some form of insulation is unavoidable.Yping, On the subject of annealing, you need to get copper red hot in order to anneal it. Which is o... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin Geoff, Cotton and foam still have a higher dielectric constant than air. Ideally we would want to have the cables in a vacuum as air still has a dielectric constant of 1.0. Not likely to happen though. We just have to do the best we can that is pr... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin 11-08-15: GeoffkaitThat's an interesting theory. How would you explain break in of cables with an air dielectric? Furthermore, how do you explain the barrage of testimonials regarding the break in of capacitors?Hi Geoffkait, air dielectric? The cl... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin I have a different view of cable break in. I find the less dielectric the better. Also I find that cables sound more detailed and less smeared with no break in, and only get worse with break in. With break in, a cables dielectric has a chance to s... | |
| Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound? It effects my hearing as well. Harder to hear details after I've had a few. I brought this up on another forum and it was not well received by some. Too sensitive a subject I guess. | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo By higher I meant no higher than around 20 cu. Yes I did test with a test record and one of the carts was around 7 hz. Still played just fine. Doug is right though. I would not worry about the resonance until you get way out of the so called safe ... | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Hi Chakster, Had a Reed 12" 3P with cocobolo arm wand for about a year. It had no trouble with higher compliance carts on my table. Never tried a ZYX but had a few MM carts on it with no problems. Should work just fine. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for the feedback on the Shure carts guys. The Victor Z1 and P77 I have coming should keep me busy for awhile. Will have to investigate the Shure's one of these days. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've never heard one, but I'm wondering why there not much love for Shure carts on this thread? How do they compare to some of the better carts talked about here. Mostly curious about the V and Ultra 500 with a Jico SAS. | |
| cart height Depends on what angle your stylus is mounted on the cantilever compared to your last cart. The angle can vary even with the same brand/ model. As suggested above try lowering the back of the arm to reduce sibilance. Also you may need to try a diff... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Got in my new to me Technics EPC 205 mkII H body. I removed my friends EPC 207C body and installed the 205 mkII H. Comparing both with a Jico SAS stylus I heard no difference in sound or output. So if you are looking at these, and want to put a SA... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don, Just picked up a A&R Cambridge P77 on ebay and ordered a SAS MM1. Thanks for the recommendation. The Garrott's seemed to be more expensive and harder to find. Let the fun begin. ;)Sean | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I will report my finding after I receive my Z1/SAS combo. It will be a while as Jico is backed up on orders. I've been very happy with my Technics 205mkII/SAS combo, but the JVC is so cheap it's hard to resist trying it out. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Just won an auction on Jauce for a JVC/Victor Z1S cart with with new replacement stylus. All said and done about $40. Will have to order a Jico SAS for it. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, I have never heard the 205mk 3 or 4, nor the 100 series carts. I would not be surprised if they are better due to having pipe cantilevers, instead of rod construction. I do not have a tonearm that will take a headshell so that rules out ... |
