Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Chakster,Seems the CS100 is unique and the styli are not interchangeable  because the coils don't match up.  Closest match is the Pickering D3000. http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=5881.0Regards, 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Chakster,Interesting post. The CS 100 has the lowest inductance of the Stanton HOMMs.  Is the D81/91 stylus interchangeable with the CS100 ?Concerning the LZ, do you have a phono preamp with high gain and selectable resistance?  The 980LZ has a... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dover,Although I don't attend carnivals I have no argument with that. The question here is, does the rotation of the platter have enough force to overcome the mass coupling of the motor unit? Evidence suggests, the weight of the motor unit is enou...

Halcro,I wonder if you would hear a difference if the motor unit was bolted on. I'm sure you're aware of the three bolt holes underneath the edge of the platter. This is how the motors were bolted to the CL-P2D plinth.  It might be better with the...

Dover,Modern physics says centrifugal force is a misnomer.  It's called centripetal force.The Victor motor units are relatively heavy containing the transformer and all the electronics.  One can spin the platter under power and it doesn't go anywh... 
Calling All Analog Gurus! What to do about my vintage Signet TK7LCa?
StereoNeedles has the ATN155LC listed for sale.  It might be a good idea to call first to make sure it's in stock.The ATN150MLX (boron/ML) will fit on either of these bodies.  The cartridge has been discontinued and the stylus is now around $250. ...

**Thus it is a force vector that has a direction described by an arc opposite to the direction of the arc of turntable rotation.**What force vector is that?  If the platter/motor moves it would be in the direction of rotation.  There is no force v...

Hi Halcro,**The centrifugal force of a spinning platter must be resisted by enough ’mass’ to avoid movement.**Interesting point.  Assuming the motor is still coupled with three rubber pads, it's not only the mass of the pod which resists motion, i... 
Cartridges in general
Lew, The new cart with the coils attached near the tip is the new AT ART1000.Limited edition - will cost $6K.http://eu.audio-technica.com/hifi-phono/cartridges/AT-ART1000 
Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?
**Fleib, if I can offer a bit of advice, try to craft your posts in a way that it is not obvious that you are simply trying to make the other party wrong by ignoring facts. You will have greater success.**My posts were based on the information you... 
Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?
Lew,**To wit, there would be a great deal of movement of the LP surface, mediated by the suspension, that could not be followed by movement of the tonearm pivot, and this would generate spurious signals at the cartridge/LP interface. On a more mic...

**As to sound pressure- we get about 90-95db of noise going on when mastering. The vacuum system is enclosed in its own chamber, but still makes noise when in operation.** That's a direct quote. Now we learn the motor is at the end of a long hose.... 
Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?
Lew, That's BS for reasons already stated. Micro vibrations wouldn't make it from record or main bearing to the arm, with a massive plinth. With a flimsier plinth the movement of platter and arm must coincide perfectly for this principle to be val...

bdp24,A table with a suspension is a different story.Regards,
