| Rekokut Rondine 3 vs. Merill AR es1 replica Dear Maxh: Nope, I don't need 78rpm; just easy cartridge exchange so as to utilize the many phonocarts I have which have never been used. The above 2 models are equiped with Jelco 250 TAs.....Of course, there is always the Technics SL 1200 which i... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Hi, Fleib; your expertise is greatly appreciated; much of your advice has already been implemented, and much of it will be in the future. You have answered and resolved many mysteries I have had over the years, for which I am grateful! To have acc... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Hello Fleib: I got data from Ortofon that their 110 tonearm weighs 3.5 gms. without headshell. I assumed you could simply add the headshell weight to that value to get the tonearm Effective Mass, from which you could figure resonance, etc. How doe... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Thanks Fleib; I've looked at your contibutions and I am impressed by your knowledge in this area. I note the Technics 1200 arm has an effective mass of 12 g. as does the SME 3009 II, non improved. Does this mean that by simple subtraction both arm... | |
| Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos I've had a Rega P3, P5, RP6 and RP8, and phonopreamps from Project, Bellari, PS Audio, Music Fidelity, and finally a Rega Aria, which gets my vote. Plus, you can hook up two turntables at the same time, one MM, and the other MC. | |
| Rega RP8 cartridge? At this point, Lyta cartridges are clear winners. Any other sub $2000 contenders [MC]. | |
| technics SL 1300 modificatiom Interesting option; Vegasears; any ideas about specific headshells? | |
| Idler drive turntables Jejaudio: Very gratifying response; I'm so glad at least one other person appreciates the Miracord line of turntables from the 60's and 70's! | |
| Idler drive turntables Yes, I did forget that the Miracord was a record changer; it had 2 spindles, one for single play and the other for multiple. I never even put the spindle on which allowed multiple play: I always used it as a single record player only, and as I rec... | |
| phonostage paradox Atmasphere: The hum only occurs when hooked up to the preamp, and then only in the MC setting, not MM. | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? TO Secretguy: Thanks so much; you have nudged me in the right direction, in that the MC side of the backup phonostage is in fact a Denon301II, while the MM side will be serviced by a Clearaudio Virtuoso! | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Interesting. I forgot some recent cartridges which could track the Telarc 1812: a Goldring 1022 GX and 1042, mounted in a Music Hall 5.1 SE. I'm sure there are more out there, but even more that cannot. I wrote the editors of our 2 most popular hi... | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? Secretguy: I assume you refer to the 651P; does this support LOMC? | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Rauliruegas: Finally an answer I can live with; it's mainly in the cartridge itself! I know Audio Technica was instrumental in producing the Telarc recording; I have other older cartridges which can track the cannons, for exampe vintage Shures, an... | |
| Another phono cartridge question Raul: I don't believe the Clearaudio carts. have user replaceble styli, do they? I have a Virtuoso, which I dearly love [have also read your review of this] but the cartridge must be sent in for stylus replacement. Correct me if I am missinformed;... |
