The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Regards, Lewm: Please re-read. Prominent mention of servo systems incorporated in the discussed JVC TTs. Also an acknowledgment that a correction was made to a hurried and unsupported comment. Would you kindly put your dog back under the porch?Hih... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Regards Lewm:Retrieved from JVC literature: Both the TT81 and 101 utilize a servo system operating in both positive and negative directions. A disc with either (dependent on model) 180 or 90 slits is opposed to a circuit board with the correspondi... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Regards, Hiho: A TT71? Guilty. Picked up for little more than pocket change several years ago just to fiddle around with. A hard maple plinth & EPA-250 tonearm. Swapped around some mats (the OEM mat is terrible) & ended up with a Boston Au... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Regards. Hiho is correct. For a description of JVC technology in the above TTs:http://www.vinylengine.com/library/jvc/turntable-technology.shtmlA later catalogue states ALL TTs are equipped with coreless motors.Peace, 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Poem. By Henry Gibson.A new cartridge would be nice And thank you my old Shure friend. Since the Koetsu died I've felt quite lost, But duct tape has not helped things mend. I guess what hurt the most Was finding the Goldring collapsed; Not much l...

Regards, Audpulse: Empire experienced four incarnations. Empire Scientific Audio Empire EmpireIn its' early history, there was a strong association with Benz Micro. It's likely the better cantilevers/styli from that era were sourced from Benz. Reo... 
Tonearm/Cartridge Matching
Regards, Halcro: Friend Henry, perhaps it's a matter of degree. It seems most A'goners are quite capable of determining "when good enough is good enough".A Shure M-44E tested on a low LOW mass Infinity Black Widow TA produced extraordinary bass. N... 
Tonearm/Cartridge Matching
Regards, Halcro: A question from analog hell, Devil Henry! Let's proceed from the premise that response is the sum of mechanical and electrical properties. With an electro-magnetic generator current is proportionate to stimulus, in this case prov... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Regards, Halcro: Agreed, Henry, although I do believe you are teasing me! However there are other means of damping a tonearm. Fluid damping is effective when there is a mismatch of cartridge compliance and tonearm mass, evident in "scrubbing" of t...
