05-12-2020 1:23pmIn the case of the first you have a subjective means to winnowing out how a separate arm pod is a failed concept;
THE ATMASPHERE PRINCIPLE
THE 'FAILED' CONCEPT Thank you for reminding me of why I dont use rubber belt drive turntables or direct drive turntables - the swirling and lurching from note to note of a platter driven by a rubber band vs the grainy grey wash of the direct drive as it interminably tries to calculate the correction speed required on ancient "software" using 1970's electronics, not to forget that a can of Baked Beans probably has more structural integrity than the motor housing on the DD. And to think you can even hear it with a low res MM. Thanks again for reminding me. |

What was that........? Can't do...it's raining in New Zealand....videos can't show shit....my finger's broken..... Ain't it great when you can spout 'garbage' without having to provide proof or evidence...🤥 You could fill Audio Forums with your 'wisdom'....🤗 |

I have been following your cartridge postings - they are great. I have the Glanz MFG61 and was interested in getting a flavour of the 610 you have. But then.... Dover

I preferred both my V15vxmr & V15vmr with a brazillian and a dab of superglue on the stylus holder - as used in my Eminent Technology ET2. Accurate tonearm set up, properly grounded TT & clean records obviate the need for heath robinson type solutions.I preferred both my V15vxmr & V15vmr with a brazillian and a dab of superglue on the stylus holder - as used in my Eminent Technology ET2.

Halcro - thanks for the Decca post for Frogman and I - I have been a bit busy to respond - the music was great. And this....? Dover

Hi Halcro
for me on my cheapo ear iPhone plugs -
Shure V15/III/SAS - full bodied but coloured sound
Shure Ml140HE - slightly recessed in the vocals, clangy in the upper mid area
Shure Ultra 500 - the least coloured by far of the three, the balance across the frquency spectrum far more even, and more resolution. On crescendos this cartridge holds that balance. This is significantly better than the other two to my ears, more open, more balanced and less coloured.
If you really want to hear the Ultra 500 at its best you need to buy yourself an Eminent Technology ET2, a significant gain in performance cf the Dynavector/FR64 to be sure - I own all 3. To this again....? Dover

Great music. Beautiful.
In a nutshell firstly comparing the Palladian to the Decca, again ibuds, the Decca wins, most notably I can hear the chest and body of the female choristers, even individually. On the Palladian it sounds like they are singing from the top of their throat - no chest. The Decca more accurately conveys the full weight of the choristers and the room acoustics.
Then comparing the Sony XL88D to the Decca - wow. More transparent and the majesty of the performance and the completeness of the full orchestral spectrum conveyed by the Sony is fabulous. There appears to be more chest/body with the choristers from the Decca, but the vocals from uppermids to top end on the Sony appear far more transparent. As the full orchestra comes in the Sony is simply wonderful, the most complete cartridge for me of the three..
At this point I am done with comparisons - could you please just send me the Sony for Xmas. Now back to the music.... To this.....? Dover

Dear @halcro : The failed concept is failed by physics law. That we like it the listening experiences through it does not means is " rigth ".
In the other side your post making comparison about is useless when the comparison you wanted show was with different TT, different tonearm and even different LP track and probably not exactly the same accurated alignment set-up.

Hi Kenchi,
Wow, your question as to which arm and plinth is best for your 301 opened up an incredibly technical discourse on the physics of arm board construction!
I am somewhat new to high level TT set up and Garland 301 rebuild.
And I certainly do not approach this quest/avocation from an intense technical perspective. I research and use common sense. I have been searching and waiting for a “proper” rebuilt 301 rig for years.
Finally, I have what I believe is a great sounding set up. I can only share what I have been able to cobble together. Speaking of waiting, I still have not been able to listen to my 301 now waiting for the last critical piece-a Stealth Hyper phone cable which is still being built.
So, I can only relay my feelings and faith. For the arm, it is a Ortophon 309. Not the highest level but, I believe, period correct and really good. The plinth and TT rebuild is from Chris at Woodsong Audio. Believe he is one of a handful of rebuilders at the top of the game. And a very helpful and knowledgeable fellow. His plinths seem to be among the best. And to complete the picture, going with my taste for beautiful mid range a Myajima Shalbi. Hope this has been helpful. I hope that all my research, patience and common sense will result in rig that faithfully reproduces the drive and musicality that the 301 is famous for. |
