| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dearest Nandric, As Booker T sang, Time is Tight and as I get older, it becomes more and more valuable but it is worth every minute I spend reading your cerebral thoughts.Are you OK Nandric? I am concerned you may have had a stroke or suffered a s... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Congrats Dover! Will Nandric now believe me? Your description of the MFG 61's sound are very close to what I hear. I have used it in several different modern tonearms but have yet to try with any of my vintage arms. When I read it sounded slow to ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup No doubt feet/stands can make a nice improvement in the sound of the Def IV's. After living with the stock spikes for awhile, I went to Stillpoints Ultra SS's. Stillpoints make an adopter so the Ultras fit directly to the aluminum plinth. This mad... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I think of Pat on a regular basis. We had some wonderful listening sessions together. He introduced me to a lot of different music, artists and his amazing chile. For that, I will always be grateful. Barb, his widow, gave me about twenty Coltrane ... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply This thread reminded me that I bought a Mark Kelly power supply kit years ago. Mark designed it for the 301/401. I was curious as to how it would compare to the Loricraft. It is not much more than a few circuit boards and a long list of parts to b... | |
| Sound room flooring advice needed Tried several of the above in the past. The floating floor is a poor option fora music room. Best so far is cork tiles glued directly to the concrete. If the concrete is too rough to glue direct, there are several concrete based underlayments that... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply To get a genuine improvement form the Garrard, it needs to be run at 50 to 47Hz and 200 or so volts. Most power supplys do not offer this option. The Garrard's motor is just not happy with our North American power. It develops some odd harmonics w... | |
| pink floyd division bell lp The original UK pressing is black. Sounds the most dynamic of any I have heard but my three (and two were sealed/new) are a bit noisy. All the original US first pressings were a dark semi transparent blue. They sound very good and are quiet. The f... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan, glad to hear you have the Audion amps back. When you have time, would you answer a few questions? What brand of caps were replaced and which Duelund caps went back in? Size? How would you characterize the differences between the Audions an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, my well read friend, sorry I have not been able to reply to your numerous friendly jabs here and on the Glanz thread. I have been too busy building my ridiculously priced plinths and also working a new similarly priced tonearm. Plus my ol... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, surely you saw the empty Precept 550ML box on eBay a few weeks ago?550MLAT must have built at least one... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Have had one long and fun night of listening to the Def IV's, Allnic DHT and SITs in my rig. I know it is early but there is something special there. Yes, the decay can stand out and the leading edge impacts are not as dynamic as with the Franks b... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body The 2A is the same as a 3P without the laser assist. The 3P has a differentbearing system that gives a little more air and refinement to the sound on most carts. The 3P has azimuth adjustment on the fly which I find handy. | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body Have had both carts in my system so maybe I can add something other than speculation. I have to say, interesting if not odd cart choices. I don't think you could have two carts (Puritas and Koetsu) that could be much further apart on the sound spe... |
