| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum If the SME V arm tube is anodised, then this explains why it doesn't hum when touched- anodising gives a non conducting surface. The question here is what finger lift are you using. It would seem to me when you are touching the arm lift or cartrid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, lightweight headshell suggestion - buy a few Sumiko headshells ( they have azimuth adjustment ) 14g and drill holes in them to reduce weight. I have the low weight Orsonic - it's useless - not particularly rigid on the dynavector arm. It's v... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Nightfall,The speaker Ralph mentioned was the High Emotion Audio Bella Twin speakers. | |
| Low vs. High Output MC Cartridges Hi - the answer is that the lower output requires less number of coils and due to the lower mass of the moving coils can be quicker than the higher output MC. The downside of the lower output is the requirement for a higher gain phono stage. Some ... | |
| Rebuilding a Benz Ebony H: Who can do it? When you bought this you were offered a rebuild program as part of the purchase consideration.You should be able to get a replacement cartridge for the cost of a rebuild if they cannot rebuild it as advertised when you bought it. | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? So we've been to the mountain, and now, we are promised the world .....but delivered an Atlas. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, - Grace 714 - I should have been clearer on "not particularly rigid". In the sample I've seen and set up there was a lack of rigidity around the headshell area. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, a friend had a Grace 714 many years ago. Used a Garrot P77 with some success. The arm is not particularly rigid and gives a warm soft mellifluous presentation. I would not use a MC with it. | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" I have read that violinists spend hours, days, weeks "working in" their instruments in order to be able to get the response & feel they are looking for. That is if someone, even another virtuoso, picked up Nigel Kennedy's violin and played it ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? fyi -Re Garrot P77 - I heard this cartridge in the Garrot Bros own system which was an old tt with a heavily modified Nad 3020 and home made electrostatics built by Brian, John's brother. The odd thing was that in their system the P77 sounded like... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The reality is these cartridge manufacturers want to sell as many as possible, that means producing products that will sound great, even in suboptimal set ups ( which in my experience includes many audiophile's ). Look how many ways are there real... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Atmasphere - I think you are too optimistic on the quality of the US power supply. The US grid is split into 4 quadrants and the supply agreements in place with the power providers have delivery standards etc, but there are NO standards in the agr... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lrsky/Lewm - my money on an 80's demonstration by Magnepan would be an Oracle Delphi tt with the Magnepan unipivot tonearm, this was a popular combo of that era in the US if you weren't in the Linn/Sota camp. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm, Which of the 3 tt's the Lenco L75, Technics SP10mk3, Kenwood L07D do you find the most musically satisfying. Have you ended up with same or different sounding decks, or through choice of arm/cartridge deliberately tried to dial in different ... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? There is no best or perfect unipivot, or even tonearm. The performance of any tonearm has to be viewed in the context of the rest of the playback system - the cartridge and the turntable. How has the cartridge designer dealt with unwanted energy -... |
