| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Doug, we'll see very soon how my modded Silver measures up with the Encounter. I have an Encounter on the way, for evaluation purposes. Actually, the large bearing housing on the Encounter is partly designed to increase the lateral mass component,... | |
| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Doug, this rig you are assembling will definitely exceed what I am using. You will be quite happy with it, I'm sure.As for the Heavyweight on the Silver arm, I have used the standard OL counterweight, the Heavyweight, and am now using my prototype... | |
| Need Feedback on Sistrum Platforms Rack I use them under everything I own, and have gotten excellent results. A very good improvement and the technology is proven. It works and you can hear it. They have been evaluated by industrial vibration control standards and are an accepted method... | |
| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Hi Doug. I have no personal experience with the Morch arm, so I can't really comment about that. I know that alot of people really like that arm.To be fair, there are a couple of unipivots that can handle the Shelter well, but they are mostly high... | |
| Make me feel better David, a basic 103 is nice, but not as nice as what you had. It would work on the Alphason, but the highs would not be as nice as the R,S,or D models. It has a different(lower) compliance(same as the R model), and the S model and D model are mediu... | |
| mV output from cartridge, please explain Herman, I don't know if it is peak or average, and I did a thorough web search, and couldn't find the answer. I think it is the peak output at a certain level of stylus excursion, but it don't know if that is the maximum level of excursion or not.... | |
| Best Cartridge for SME 20/ Graham 2.2 I think a ZYX R-100 Fuji low-output is an excellent choice for that. It is $2k retail. A world class cartridge. Works great with a medium mass unipivot. | |
| mV output from cartridge, please explain How it relates to real life is related to the output voltage times the amount of gain that it is subjected to all along the signal path. It starts out at, say 1mv, and then goes into a phono section. It then goes thru the gain stages of amplificat... | |
| More Amplification?? Need Help What is the output of the cartridge?What is the gain of the phono section? | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? Francisco, I have no problem meeting you. I just have a situation here at home that does not lend itself to having guests at this time. I hope you understand that. It has nothing to do with you or Lak. I couldn't have any guests in here right now. | |
| Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help You just need to "snug" the screw. It doesn't have to be real tight. Just so it stays in place, is all it needs.It might just be the album. I don't know, I don't have that particular record. | |
| How do they MIC a symphony? To my knowledge, there is no one method that is standardized. Most of the more modern recordings will be multi-miked with many mikes placed all around the orchestra. Then this is all mixed together in the mixing booth.Back in the good old days, wh... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? Yes, Francisco, I realize the magnets are built-in to the platter. That makes the platter part of the motor, and the spindle is the motor shaft, and the main bearing is the motor bearing. That is the point that I was making.I'm simply pointing out... | |
| Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help Obviously something moved in shipment. There should never be a 10 degree slope on the arm. About 1-2 degrees up or down, from parallel is about it. If it was supposed to be way up there, it would sound boomy as hell down where you are playing it n... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? Now, before this direct-drive love-fest gets too out of control, let's talk about some other issues.First, the "belt-drive crowd" does get it, and there are turntables out there that do not succumb to any of the things that Moncrieff points out in... |
