| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Lewm, I've often wondered if my Orsonic is a dud one. I know you prefer Stevenson, but I've reinstalled the Dynavector to run the Nova17D and I made a jig to ensure the pivot to spindle was spot on. Using the Garrott Bros protractor, which ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? SticheNandricWe have all agreed that handbags should be left at the front door. No more posts on "D" or "Bavarian mafia" - it's boring as all hell. If you still have issues you need to discuss, talk it over with your therapist.If it will help mayb... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Orsonic headshell :The Orsonic AV101b I have is most definitely original, not Chinese.The Orsonic AV-101b that I have is crap. It has a single bayonet that is too small and allows the headshell to rotate as you tighten it onto the arm, it doesn't ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thucan - go and wave your handbag somewhere else. We dont want the vitriolic diatribe from the headshell thread invading this thread. This thread is read by many new audiophiles and is a great reference for MM research.Raul - ignore everything oth... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw - With regard to the aluminium plate/acrylic. I would not run the plate, it's added resonance. I have moved away from metal spikes, and if I use them I radius the tip so it is not a sharp point. I say radius, as in rounded, NOT flat. The idea... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Wouldn't you be better off to sell it whilst it's still going. What happens if the designer gets run over. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - Some time ago you asked me about retipping the Dynavector Nova 13D. Last time about 10 or 12 years ago Dynavector rebuilt mine and said last time, no more generators available. Now fortunately as a special favour they have rebuilt the Nova ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I have no issue with Fremer stating a turntable sounds dry - it is only an opinion and voiced in the context of his system and room. Where I do have an issue is his statements that the VPI Classic is the most speed stable belt driveThe Classic 3 i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517Fyi the Final Audio TT uses a 35mm thick slab of superplastic zinc ( SPZ ) for the "plinth" - weight of plinth exclusive of platter/bearing/armpod/arm is approx 40kg. The inverted bearing and armpod are bolted directly to this slab. Info is ... | |
| Valve phono or valve linestage? Halcro - we have the same issue here in NZ. The last Aesthetix I saw here was sitting in at a workshop awaiting repair, for which Aesthetix wouldn't provide any circuit diagrams even to the official distributor here. So my advice is if you are spe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Why would you go to Ogura to buy a micro ridge diamond. The microridge profile is patented by Namiki Precision Jewel Company, and as far as I know Namiki still manufacture this. Namiki also used to make cantilevers and complete cartridges... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Well I hope this post doesn't put the kiss of death on it but I have a Final Audio Parthenon VTT1 turntable built in the 1970's before the big Micro's & Melco's even existed. It weighs 70kg+, with defined energy paths using copper, aluminium, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - boron cantilevers used to come in both tube and solid rod. The Technics EPC 100 hollow boron cantilever was formed on an aluminium rod, and then the aluminium was removed with acid to leave the ultra thin boron cantilever. So yes you can... | |
| Fuses that matter. Al, Silver vs steel - could there be some other explanation such as susceptibility to noise, audiophile fuses could be better constructed, merely changing the fuses will wipe/clean the contact points and reduce resistance.An old trick is to replac... | |
| Audio Research SP3A-1 or Conrad Johnson PV11 Bob, you may be interested to know that prior to producing his own preamp, Mike Saunders, the QS designer, used the SP3A with his QS monos at home.'From my experience the QS pre has a very direct sound, the SP3 more old school, but top/bottom end ... |
