| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John,Thank you for taking my comments with good humor and responding politely. I took your original comments as just another shot at Dertonarm. While we are all full of ourselves sometimes (and full of sh-t other times) - myself not the least guil... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John,In my case, in my #2 paragraph, I reversed DIN and IEC (Dert geometry assumes DIN records, not IEC; and his alignment for the FR-64S creates lower average tracking than using mfr specs for Lofgren A IEC). I will blame it on my lack of morning... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo, I think the tonearm on the original PS-2250 is the PUA-114. I always thought the 2250 looked kind of cool - a period piece as an interior decorator might say - but I have never tried one. I liked the looks of the TTS-3000 so much I bought ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John G,A few comments...#1) I have nothing to say on his or your comments on antiskate and SME. I have seen no vagueness of analysis on 12" vs 9". Given what you say later in your post, it is pretty obvious you have a simple explanation (but you d... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Ralph, Can you elaborate on exactly WHY the Avantgarde speakers are "meant for" SS amps? And is there an SS amp-type which would work similarly to a tube amp (or at least in a way such that the speaker would think that it was looking at a tube amp... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Opus111,I am sorry they did not work for you. My experience has been different.Thanks Daniel,I have little soldering experience, almost no tools, but can avoid coffee when necessary. :^) | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Daniel,How difficult is it to rewire the EA-10/EA-3 armwands? The EA-3 straight armwands have a small screw near the connector which looks like it could be used to undo the connector, but given the size, it looks like a very small-tipped soldering... | |
| Your feelings on vintage audio. Dave,I think the answers to your original questions about vintage gear will be along the lines of 'it will sound good, provides excellent value for money, can be made even better with some updated parts, etc, but even then may not be the best that... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals Dekay, your 'Smoke On The Water" is truly awesome. I got such a kick out of that!Personally, I am a big fan of The Bad Plus' covers - they've done everyone. I like Iron Man (Black Sabbath), Chariots of Fire (Vangelis), their live version of Tom Sa... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Thanks D. I think I can see why people would like it. And I agree - all it has to do is suit one's needs and work well, and it would seem to be a better solution than the template provided with the arm. It is good to be open-minded about one's own... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Raul,After this explanation, I am going to have to give up on this. I will stipulate that all the numbers you have provided above are correct. No dispute there.I tested the original claim from many months ago (with an estimate I have labelled Dert... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Raul, I do not understand your question and what you are looking for in your "1984 German magazine" post. I do not know where the Nandric reference comes from. I do not know what "those FR numbers" refers to. If you want to tell me what "those FR ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Downunder,I am not so much an expert as a student who is not afraid of Excel. The math is easy. For fun and games, please try this spreadsheet.Disquisitive Dert's numbers do NOT provide a better mousetrap technically unless you WANT them to. Choic... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Oops. I made a few typos but it appears I cannot edit my post. 1) Note: datatables are tough to read but please use your imagination.2) In para3, it should be "inner null point", not "inner groove null point" (guess I have inner groove on my mind.... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment For those wondering about Dertonarm's numbers... Using the FR-64S as a base, and the original 245mm EL, the average/peak % tracking distortion between 57.5mm and 116mm (the inner 2/3 of the record assuming a 57.5mm innermost groove (DIN standard))... |
