| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Louis - you are right, but I had a very special base, especially designed by the German branch of Loricraft. And it sounded well, yes no doubt. But I also believe that Panzerholz or slate might be more appropriate.I just did an experiment with a T... | |
| why do Ortofon SPU C from the 50ies sound so good? Martinhall & Ldvalve,I am using the old Mono carts with an Ortofon RMA 309 running on an EMT R80. Maybe it is a well matching combination and the carts are also in a pretty nice condition. Nevertheless I was wondering because most people regar... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Hi Moonglum,yes Clearaudio offers a Unify in a 14" format. I never have listened to it.It is not that expensive...need to check.Hi Myles_b-astor,I think the market did not ask for longer arms, this is changing. So Bob responded to the market`s req... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Maybe all said about antiskating. Nevertheless it was quite an exiting expedition and I am still admiring my Ortofon RMA 309 how it manges all these requirements. No I don't need an answer - not this time and not here.Best & Fun Only - Thuchan | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Hi John_Gordon, like it what you you said: we can`t just sweep it under the mat... this is also the case regarding precision! we don`t like to listen under the mat and you don`t do it too.Best & Fun Only - Thuchan | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Radicalsteve, I see you are also looking for the best possible solutions. Yes indeed I also went into the idler story when owning a Garrard 501 TR which is a fine piece of turntable building. In the end I was attracted only for a short time maybe ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Ct0517, still looking for my long screws, will come up with an assessment. I was a little engaged on other topics in the meantime. If you are interested in tubes - I fell in love with the sound they produce - there is a wonderful book availab... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Jazzgene,regarding Antiskating I had the VPI Memorial 12" tonearm and it's a pretty clever construction compensating by the wire. Harry is fully correct, Antiskating is mostly overrated. This has led to extensive usage by tonearm users damagi... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Jazzgene, wow, did not know you are in the professional music field. great! i just received "The Recordings Of The Beatles" . You get a feeling how enthusiastic and technical advised those engineers were in these days. Long forgotten. Therefo... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear all, I promised to report about my testing between the Micro and the EMT when I had finally implemented my horn system. Now having used the EMT JPA 66 as the phono pre for both tables, going directly to the WAVAC amps - no other circuits in b... | |
| why is a 13" tonearm design really superior? Hi Myles_B_Astor. The designer may listen to a WE 8000 and he will change his opinion quickly. Promise.Best & Fun Only - Thuchan | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John Gordon,at no time I said I accept everything what Dertonarm says. If you look into the many threads you are now stating from you should know this. Also discussing controversial I regard as absolutely essential, not only in this thread. I have... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch,I know there are still some "fossile guys" out there believing they ( and so everyone) is able to aligne a tonearm by just a small piece of paper. They tell their customers or friends precise alignment is not as important as buying the ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment John Gordon , you are new to Audiogon. This is your first thread´s reply which is ok. I am wondering about your conclusions which run on a string, IMHO the only intention to undermine Dertonarm`s reputation. I am not going into detail, T_Bone did ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Geoch, you state:"the skill of the user to follow the offered precision is irrelevant"what does it mean? As most of us do know and have learned how to align a cart & tonearm combination properly I have seen and heard many times inproper a... |
