Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
I am the person Downunder mentioned who bought the GT2000 and also has the Bardo. Just to clarify, the Bardo is not "broken" as someone suggested and it is a very fine turntable and the 12.1 is an excellent arm. While I am attempting to sell this ... 
Scansonic mb serie
For anyone still interested in feedback related to the Scansonic MB6 I have had a pair in a simple system I set up about 3 months ago. My room is roughly 5.5m x 10m wth a 3m ceiling. I am using a Norma IPA 140 purchased new when I got the MB6's an... 
CD vs. Vinyl
"I wonder if the sound of vinyl is in some ways similar to the "color" of speakers? It's not so much of an information difference, just the sound of the medium?"As we are talking about exceptional vinyl replay vs exceptional digital replay I belie... 
Capacitance Question
Djn04. I run a Maestro on a Tri Planar into an Audia Flight phono set at 200 pF and the results are outstanding. The range stated in the data sheet which comes with the cartridge states a load capacitance range of 230 pF - 270 pF which is the same... 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Peter, not sure how long you have been on this earth but do you really think that happiness and fulfillment comes from owning stuff - any stuff? I'll concede enjoyment but really that's about it. 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Axel, the differences between the Windfeld and MCA90 may indeed be significant but your preference for the MP50 over the Windfeld and indeed other MM's over the Windfeld which you have repeatedly stated in other threads leads me to conclude that r... 
wilson benesch TT lateral stabilising spring
I had one of these units and Wilson Benesch in the UK did answer my queries and were in fact very helpful. Parts are likely to be available from them. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
"So, my question is: why that very high performance cartridge quality level can't improve or at least not comes down over all these years?, I don't have a precise answer for it, do you? any one else?"Let's assume for the sake of the argument that ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Well Siniy123 you certainly have staked your claim firmly in the NOS MM camp so good luck to you. Unfortunately you make Raul sound something like Ghandi but you're entitled to your opinion. Anyway as we say in Australia I am sure he big enough an... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Siniy123, I think everyone's opinion is of some value, including yours and "those strange people such as magazine reviewers and nice Dutch gentlemen." The Dutch gentleman probably knows more about cartridges than everyone on this thread put togeth... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul states "No, the MC are not more " revealing " but has a higher distortions ( due too many factors like tracking distortion where the MM/MI are a lot better or its high frequency ringing, additional gain stages, etc, etc. ) and in audio system... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, I appreciate you looking into the issue I mentioned but I did not say that the performance with the MM was not good just that it is not as good as with a MC. I compared these recordings and another more modern choice "Particia Barber Live A ... 
TriPlanar Tips
Having just bought a Tri-Planar V11 U11 to go with GPA Monaco table and not having seen this thread I contacted Doug via a recommendation on another thread to get some advice in respect of damping fluid level. His advice was, as clearly stated in ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul I use two records as my "live" references. Firstly there is the the LA4 "Scores" and the second is the 33 1/3 version of The Bill Evans Trio "Sunday at The Village Vanguard". With both these recordings I cannot get as close to the performance... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, I'll keep an open mind so I will keep on the look out for a Technics U205CMK4 but I don't like my chances of finding one.In my very limited recent MM experience - 30+ hours with both the Empire 1080 LT and more recently the Garrott P77 both ...
