| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Raul,Now we are getting somewhere... If you agree one can change EL on a given arm, despite what the manufacturer says should be the EL, necessarily the setup parameters will change. It should even be possible for it to sound better than norm... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Raul, Having read the papers, in my understanding of tonearm physics/math, there is no reason one cannot 'adjust' EL by 0.5mm and then come up with a new set of parameters derived from your preferred alignment (as long as the headshell is flexible... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Raul,It appears we agree on that point (that using a different alignment than mfr.'s original design could alter resonance characteristics). As to another question floating around out there... whether applying a different geometry than original to... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Perhaps it is my situation as intellectual Neanderthal, but I, for one, am willing to countenance the idea that a given tonearm design/construction may resonate differently (and therefore sound differently) if forces are applied in different ways ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Genesis168,I am currently using an early 80s Pioneer turntable with early 80s Pioneer electronics (amps, pre with phono stage and headamp). They provide superlative reproduction of music. They have vanishingly low levels of distortion, and the hea... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Nice link Syntax... LOL | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Scary quake - biggest I've ever felt. Tokyo got off easy. Coastal Miyagi/Iwate/Fukushima/Ibaraki/Chiba was not as fortunate. My prayers go out to everyone there and with family there. I pray for early daylight to help rescue operations but I fear ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? With ongoing apologies to Thuchan for dragging his thread off-topic... the 308SX is supposed to use a "cart" (which includes the headshell") of 23.5-33.5g. I have never seen a number for effective mass but have always had better luck with low-ish ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Geoch, that is interesting. I am not sure it is completely accurate. The 407/23 was offered in Japan for a couple of years before Allen Wright became the Australian distributor, and I see far fewer 407/23s outside of Japan than in Japan. I am almo... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Geoch, As far as I know, the only SAEC arm with remotely normal offset angle is the 8000, with the 317 coming next. I too would trade the 317 for the 8000 any day of the week, but I don't know of any 8000 owners who would make the trade. The 8000 ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Thuchan,Thanks. I am not familiar with a SAEC 1000 model among the "higher" numbers, just the 407, 506, and 8000. I will have a think about this. It would make sense to run wire all the way from cart pics to phono stage but that would require knoc... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Thuchan, I agree. The SAEC arms are pretty well-made. I especially like the' higher' model numbers. Who did you get to do your rewiring? | |
| Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? To add to Robob's astute commentary, "within the limits of production" are whatever number the cartridge maker can make. One cannot hire other cartmakers to pick up the slack when demand picks up. And one has to still pay the cart-maker when times... | |
| Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? Tthe yen has gone up in value by 30% against other currencies over the past few years. JICO is raising USD prices as of April 2 by 30-40%. Why? Because this Japanese company, making products in Japan, paying people in yen, now has USD prices which... | |
| What credit cards do you use? Kijanki,Dan_ed is wrong in a way and right in a way. He is wrong because you only pay your $100 for the $100 item. He is right, however, because the merchant who accepts Amex or Visa/MC pays a portion of the bill to the CC provider (and Visa/MC). ... |
