| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? I apologise for another error.The counterweight on the Origin Live "Conquerer" tonearm appears to modelled after the Rega design but the arm-tube is a different "staggered" type getting thinner towards the headshell as the Rega.Here is a comprehen... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation Stan,There is a difference between a high output moving coil and low output moving coil cartridge as you probably know.The low ouput and required loading makes the Denon perhaps a little fussy.. the phono stage you use can be problematic.I think t... | |
| What Turntable to buy under $600 ? Right,I guess I have 2 things to answer.Firstly as far as the Rega speed issue goes,they are aware of it and there is a little published fix for it that is Rega's official response.I have posted it before and it involves cleaning and replacement o... | |
| What Turntable to buy under $600 ? Stanhifi,You did not cease listening to the radio because of the logic involved?I believe that you can only get about 17.5Khz top frequency limit in broadcast F.M and so what you would have actually heard was not even up to CD standard.This though... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation There is the Denon 103 cheaper and most likely better than a Dynavector 10x5,it is a moving coil though. | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? Sorry! But the link doesn't work in my prevous post the Origin Live website is easy to find though.I was referring to "bearings" just after the failed link.One final point that seems obvious is that speed stability and not running at 33 1/3 RPM is... | |
| What Turntable to buy under $600 ? If a table is suitable for broadcast and DJ duties would it not be already some way towards the goal of good sound reproduction? Why? Given that idler-wheel drives were ignored with the rise of the Linn LP 12 and never had great arms developed for... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? Origin Live now produce an arm called the "Conquerer" that is better than an SME V.Based on that original RB250 Rega arm tube.Here is a link http://www.tonearm.co.uk/index.htm.Bearings are beside the point right up the Rega line especially to the ... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? In the Lenco thread Jean has already dissed the Dynavector 10x5 as compared to a Denon 103.One of these modern pieces of junk that get a high rating.One of his favourite combos is the Lenco idler wheel with a Rega RB300 and Denon 103.Killed a VPI ... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? All belt drive turntables are shit ask around!This forum has a long thread on the issue.I know you don't like Rega arms you have made that clear a number of times,but if you ask around a lot of people think they are fine.Origin Live's Mark Baker h... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? From the only serious study of cartridge resonance by Paol Ladegaard."The first thing to do is to raise the(cartridge resonance) frequency to 15-18Hz and then ideally damp the system to a Q of 0.5...In pursuit of this goal one should not make trad... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? Why do you say that?Is it the cartridge resonance factor?I estimate around 16Hz which is fine.I suppose you don't think it's any good on a dreaded Rega arm also. | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? The Sumiko BPS does not really have a "hyped" up treble so much as one with a correct frequency response out to 35KHz.This is what the majority of records properly mastered in analogue require.It would be problematic therefore for your speakers if... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5: laid back sound? Studying the cartridges that Project uses for their tables it is obvious that they are refurbished Grado's from the Prestige series line.I would try something from about a Grado Red upwards for a cartridge upgrade that won't break the bank and cou... | |
| need info on phono pre......... CHEAP The NAD PP-2 is the best of the cheapies.Add your own 24vDC 1amp regulated power supply for best performance.If you can afford more the next to consider would be either the Project SE Phono Box or the Project Tube Box. |
