| Damping Rega Table Thanks the responses.What kind of spikes would you recommend? I believe that Rega doesn't advise swapping out of the rubber feet.stefanl | |
| Upgrading Rega P9 + RB1000 There is an interesting Phono FAQ on the Van den Hul website.Specifically no.147 on direct wiring to your phono stage.There are about 4(or more) rewire kits for Rega arms available.Without getting too complicated, regarded opinion seems to favour ... | |
| Upgrading Rega P9 + RB1000 I believe that if you put a DIN plug on the Rega arm you can then use some tonearm grade pure silver wire(Audio Note U.K) and solder a direct connection to your phono stage,without using RCA plugs.This is the best thing to do apart from a complete... | |
| Advise on cartridge for Scout Does anyone have the Frequency Response specs. for the Dynavector 10x5? Not the 20hz-20Khz flat response but the response like (i.e at -3db 15hz-50Khz)that Ortofon give? | |
| Resonant Frequency The information for this arm is sparse.I got one line from Jelco saying their new arm was 23 g.That was it.Last time they said they had no records left of the straight arm they produced 20 years ago for the Ariston Q Deck.It was the same arm on th... | |
| Resonant Frequency I probably misinterpreted what I was aiming for in the last post,but I thought some added weight might be interesting.I think the straight Jelco arm is possibly much lighter than its "curved" cousin.I would really like to know its effective weight... | |
| Resonant Frequency I have tried a little bit of tweaking with Blu-Tac on top of the cartridge on my Ariston arm.Some possible improvement in sound-staging ocurred, but is this the right place to put it.Anyway I was only estimating the arm's effective mass at 23g giv... | |
| Resonant Frequency Great to see your post explaining the issues involved janvoorn! I have done some thinking on this and it occurred to me that with the Rega arm for instance,the most popular cartridges for it, that seem to come up time and again on this and other f... | |
| Resonant Frequency This is to whet your appetite.On page 14 of the aforementioned paper."Since we have to conclude that practical records contain a large amount of "rubbish" centered around 4-5hz including warps,the optimum solution is clear.The tonearm/cartridge re... | |
| Resonant Frequency Have you seen the paper in the Vinyl Engine's archives? "Audible Effects of Mechanical Resonances in Turntables" This was the original paper that started the ball rolling.It was given to AES Covention In New York in 1977 by Poul Ladegaard of Bruel... | |
| Resonant Frequency I see that there is some difference as to what an acceptable figure is.A reply on Vinyl Asylum gave the example of the Goldring cartridge that comes with the MMF 5 having a rf of around 8hz,but said to be o.k.Some on Vinyl Engine believe 10 hz is ... | |
| Resonant Frequency Thanks for the reply.I have just received an e-mail from Origin Live who state that the effective mass of the Rega RB 250 is unaffected by the mod so it is at 11g as quoted on their website.The Ortofon is an X-5 MC so it has compliance of 13um/mN.... | |
| Use of mats for VTA? Thanks for the informative response.Do you swap the mats in conjunction with a VTA adjustment on your tonearm or do you use mats alone? I have several types(6)of mat ranging from a 4mm Rega standard to 1mm "disco" mats and I iterate for height bet... | |
| apparant pitch instability The decay you hear on the piano and the high notes is most likely due to speed problems on Rega tables.You can check Vinyl Asylum and there is quite a lot about this.I use a power conditioner and I got a 25% improvement in the sound on my C.D play... | |
| apparant pitch instability You use 2 equal lengths of normal electrical tape around the edge of the plastic spindle that the platter sits on and trim it so it is even and not protruding on either side.It should look smooth and quite even,patience is required.You of course t... |
