| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Dear Nandric,sharing exitement on such vintage items is'nt such easy I guess. I do think that many "of our friends in this special cart field" just read on Audiogon being a little shy to expose themselves with their gear and opinions. I don't mind... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris,thanks for the impressive images and the short movie. It really looks a bit shaky in the beginning but I do believe it will work properly. I guess your tonearm handling is influenced by the camera's position not using the headshell's gu... | |
| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Dear Nandric, YES: "Me And THE Cart", a drama in three acts. The real story behind these two very special carts that most of you would never thought of buying or using them (Am I right?) is that they have been kept in perfect shape. There are no r... | |
| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Dear Nandric, being a very funny animal, at least in this hobby, I am not sensitive anymore for a positive feedback on such a high level as you did. You mean I have some skills left as a man now having reached the golden age still listening to old... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Someone told me in the US EMT products are not very well known and not marketed very well. Is that true? Of course the turntables are not build anymore but carts, phono stages etc. are still being produced and sold. best & fun only - Thuchan | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Hi Moonglum, thanks for the article. I do share the impressions regarding the ET 2.5. I do not know the Wilson Benesch arm but do respect the quality and musicality of Wilson Benesch products. Is it really the carbon fibre, who knows? I like this ... | |
| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Well said Martinhall, this is really true. Nevertheless "being full of music" does not prevent me from avoiding "not good sound". I am becoming more and more critical and maybe also non compromise.Yes Nandric, you are right. I was born as a musici... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I was always thinking about how to combine my measurement suggestion with the Dennesson and also the alignment by the Uni-Pro. Therefore only using one tool!!! For me the quest is over! You may see the result on my page (last image)Best & Prec... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment maybe the simplest solution is to print an exact scale meter on the Uni-Pros arm and supply an extra transparent block using parallel lines and matching the layout of the Uni-Pro just at the spindle site . You may then put the extra block over the... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Albert,you may get some comfort in changing headshells if you are using those ones with a fixed cart like the Fidelity Research FR-7 series in the same arm. This is among other reasons why I have one FR-66s on each Micro. Also the EMT JSD 6 J... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Halcro,After further engagement with the Uni-Protractor I can share your experiences. Especially regarding the "frosted mirror design". It is sometimes very difficult to hit the point. If I am using a lamp into the direction of the needle it ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Downunder, I fell into the same trap as you, and you are completely right: The Feickert provides a comfortable distance measurement.What I did: I fixed Dertonarms scale tool on the Dennessen, putting the black middle round over the spindle as a ho... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Thanks Logenn & Isochronism,just remember it all started with one turntable, a Micro Seiki SX 8000 II. some 16 years ago, with one tonearm - a Max 237. And of course in a small room. When I put the volume up my wife (as maybe the most of our p... | |
| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Dear Raul,I now have a machine with the EMT JPA66 which is the ultimate phono stage / preamp for MM carts too. You are able to adjust MMs precisely and influence the sound in many ways. I do think this could give me another direction, who knows...... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Chris,I was finishing the last meters on my loudspeaker project, now having exactley calibrated the attenuators and all fixed in a special box. This was the time to close the rear front cover. All done now!Next I went into the Technics SP 10 ... |
