| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, You might like to try a copper mat on your SP10 if you haven't already. In a direct comparison of the L07D stainless mat, Boston, and a few others - the copper mat came out as the most complete in my experiments.A word of caution - for DD tu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-04-15: RichardkrebsWouldnt your process potentially take the spindle out of parallel with the record surface? This would mean that the tracking angle would change as the cartridge traverses the record.Richardkrebs, "tracking angle" does not app... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt - In your methodology for levelling the arm the stylus has friction or resistance imparted even by the smooth record. A better way to check the level of the bearing tube (and the efficacy of the lead out wires ) is to add enough mass or mov... | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges Nandric - to answer your question I use the heavy Orsonic 101B ( with the slots for cartridge mounting ). Here is my Orsonic....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXzmZ10Q2kE | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges Halcro, Comparing the structural rigidity of the Orsonic to conventional headshells is nebulous really. One is a set of torsion bars, the other a flat plate. Both have resonances, just a different set. As far as the FR S3 headshell goes, it is a s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt, I run the wire straight out of the arm tube, looped under the bearing spindle/armlift rod to a teflon block on the the side of the TT (this is mounted behind the lift spindle and halfway along to minimise wire tension when playing. The wir... | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges I have tried the Orsonic 101, Ikeda, Audiotechnica Technihard, Audiocraft and the original FR headshell in my FR64S with a variety of cartridges including Koetsu, Dynavector Nova 13, Ikeda, FR1mk3, Victor X1 and many others.With the Koetsu the Ors... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 05-25-15: PrysoLew, one possible exception regarding what "specs" tell us. Most MC cartridge specs show a rising high end, often above 15K. Some perceive that as added detail, others as objectionable brightness.I believe that may be a basic differ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, a few years ago local distributor found a cache of NOS Denon 103D's in their warehouse. I went through all of them examining their supplied measured response graphs. None of them were the same, and I was able to pick one that had the most ac... | |
| SUT Hum Yes - this suggests that in your SUT the chassis is not grounded unless you connect a wire to the preamp from the earth post of the SUT. If the SUT chassis is not grounded then all the soldered connections inside are unshielded and prone to RF and... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Ct0517Thank you, the ET2 I Beam is an excellent example of an I beam - no plywood, no lead or glue, just a piece of plastic with flanges top and bottom to give axial and structural rigidity - the whole piece being an extrusion to form the I. Richa... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? 5-14-15: RichardkrebsPly AND "I" beams use a similar technique to separate the outer layers where any bending causes compression in one layer and tension in the otherWhy are we debating this???Richardkrebs you described your plinth as a "form of I... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? 05-14-15: RichardkrebsDover.The essence of an I beam and ply is the separation of the two outer layers (sheets). Any bending causes compression of one sheet and tension in the other. This increases the stiffness of the structure. Richardkrebs, tha... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Pod Stability05-11-15: RichardkrebsHalcro.Check my math if you like, the numbers are sound.A perusal of your numbers shows they have failed the sound check, and here is why -05-10-15: RichardkrebsThere, one TT is mentioned where specific data is g... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? 05-13-15: RichardkrebsWhen I made the decision to build my TT plinth out of acrylic the problem of stiffness was considered. My TT uses 2 x 30mm thick Acrylic sheets, separated and fused to a lead spacer. By separating the two structural plates a ... |
