| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Henry - Have finally managed to try the Sutherland Timeline on the Final Audio TT ( heavy mass - platter 19kg, string drive ( single silk thread ), AC motor driven by oscillator preamp( reconstructed sine/cosine waves) and power amp.Testing wit... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel - Perhaps Henry could denude the Empire for you ?.h?When I was working at a medical company a few years ago they were working on fusing carbon fibre & titanium for use in wheelchairs - now that would be interesting for a tonearm beam. | |
| Tonearm suggestions The Audiomods is a modified Rega RB250, albeit with new bearings etc. The arms are quite different structurally.I have actually heard both arms on a Rega P9, the RB1000 was more precise sounding, and to my golden ears cleaner and more articulate, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, There are 2 schools of thought here - the wooden spoon and string brigade are trying to dampen energy, others such as Naim Aro, Dynavector are trying to encourage energy away from the cartridge and sink it to ground through the arm/armboard... | |
| Problem with turntable/cartridge? Your Benz Micro H2 has 2.5mv output and is designed to run into a MM input. Loading should be 47k.The other thing to check is the VTA, from memory my friends Benz Glider on a Rega required either a 1.5mm or 2mm spacer under the arm pillar to get t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? According to AJ Conti changing to a heavier counterweight closer to the pivot point will lower the effective mass - it is counterintuitive. To increase EM you need to split the counterweight into multiples and distribute some weight further back b... | |
| Tonearm suggestions The RB1000 is much better built than the Audiomods, but is more difficult to do VTA as it requires spacers under the arm base. For your deck I think the RB1000 will give better performance. I've heard both arms and would consider the RB1000 to be ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I think you've highlighted the folly of fashion - wooden arms and tonearm's hanging on a string. These are literally TONE arms, as in tone controls, providing little rigidity to ensure the stylus is measuring the groove modulations accuratel... | |
| Speaker recommendations for JRDG Model 6 + BPS-6 Hi, yes I can understand the aesthetics issue. If I had the funds I would buy the Canterbury's and then go and get new cabinets made with the same internal volume/port configuration but with a narrower front panel and deeper profile in a modern st... | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? You might want to consider your cabling rather than cartridge. No matter how much drive your preamp has once you go beyond 2-3 metres you are running into signal loss or attenuation of the high frequencies at least. I would suggest MIT Oracle inte... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And of course the most rigid joint, between headshell and tonearm, is that where none exists, ceteris paribus. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Integrated headshells - storm in a teacup.Advantages - eliminates one mechanical connection if using a detachable headshell tonearm.Disadvantages - can only align correctly if you are using the intended matching tonearm and alignment preferences. ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for JRDG Model 6 + BPS-6 Friend of mine had some Model 6's with BPS, Synergy II, Meridian 800 CD, ran them with Tannoy 15" GRF's, effortless, smooth, detailed and superbly musical.Try some Canterbury's if they are in your range. | |
| Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table For $1350 plus your Rega P25 you should have enough to buy a VPI Classic - new TT and better arm or Scout II.Alternately the cheapest upgrade for the P25 would be Rega power supply and groovetracer bearing/platter which would yield significant imp... | |
| Tube Preamp Paired with Tube Phono Stage? Actusreus, As far as I know the input impedance of an amplifier will have ramifications in the first gain stage with regard to bandwidth, gain etc. Therefore the chosen input impedances provided by any particular phono stage may have as much to do... |
