| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I'm probably inclined to spend my money on proper refurbishment of my Mk II and hope in the meantime that I happen upon a Mk III serendipitously. I know of one in Asia that is so relatively low in price, compared to Mike's and Albert's quotes, it ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Thanks Albert and Mike. I completely agree with everything you say about how to make a valid comparison. The weird thing about "noise" is that one may think that noise is not a factor in one's own system, if one can't hear noise per se. Then, when... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Before auditioning the TLZ or any of these MMs you are enjoying, I first have to de-tune my phono section in order to tolerate the huge output of an MM compared to any low output MC. I know how to do it actually; it's just a matter of gettin... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus So much for questions about Tri's integrity. | |
| the hole is to small...... In the history of turntables and LPs there were apparently two different standards for the diameter of the spindle (not "the pole"). Evidently your Thorens uses the larger of the two possible spindle diameters. As Jazzcourier said, gently expand t... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus Tri is a very honorable man. You might fairly criticize the fact that he is tardy in this instance in responding to Sunnyboy's messages. But that does not equate to a lack of honor. Tri has sent me stuff prior to receiving payment, and he is alway... | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Ralph's point about characteristic impedance is a very important one. IMO, it is another reason why some cables sound different from others and why cables that sound good in one system may sound awful in other systems. I have found for example in ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul et al, I am still waiting for you or someone to try one of the old Grado TLZ or XTE. I still have my TLZ, and I intend to give it a listen via an RS-A1 tonearm that I just bought. What I remember about it is that the TLZ was head and shoulder... | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Here's what you can do, if you don't have a scope and a generator. Buy a Cardas test record and a digital multimeter. They are both good tools for any audiophile to have and can be bought for not much moola. The Cardas has a band that plays a 1kHz... | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Audiofeil, In fairness, Zieman may have been thinking of cable capacitance, which does play a role in loading the cartridge but which is less of an issue with MC cartridges, as opposed to MMs. "Impedance" comes from both resistance and reactance, ... | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Dear Taylor, Thanks for the info. I am sorry to learn that I will have to spend "all the money" to get what I want. Raul, have you heard these two? Zieman, do you agree with Taylor's characterization of the two cartridges? If this usurps the threa... | |
| Ortofon Per Windfeld Load Impedance? Zieman, Would you care to characterize the differences between the Per Windfield and the Jubilee? I've been thinking about one or the other myself. Thanks. | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Scompracer, I used the very same Triplanar on my Hyperspace that I now use on my Nantais/Lenco. To mount the Triplanar on the H'space, I needed to have Tom Fletcher (Nottingham Analog boss and mentor) make me a special platform that raised the ton... | |
| What is the difference between Lenco L-75 vs L- 76 Never heard of an L76. I believe there is an L78 that is similar to an L75. What you want to avoid is anything later than those (model numbers in the 80s), IF you want an idler drive table. The 80 series are belt-drives. | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Mikey, I don't know why the Denon 103R would be a popular choice to use with a Lenco. It's much more important to match cartridge and tonearm. Once you've done that, you can use that pair on any turntable. Different tts will add different sonic si... |
