| Question on Denon DL-103 retipping options and preferences @justinrphillips:I think that your approach makes perfect sense. A good way to get into the world of MCs is to do what you are doing. Please don`t let yourself get discouraged by some of the answers here. I have two retipped/recantilevered/modifie... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? @ps68 Thank you for your input. I will try out other alignments than Stevenson, simply to see if I am missing something. The reason why it is so alluring to stay with Stevenson alignment, is that every cartridge I have used on my FR 64 S with Stev... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Dear @rauliruegas :Thank you very much for your input. The 506/30 sounds quite good right now with a Kondo Audio Note Io ii and Stevenson alignment. It`s eleven PM here in Norway right now. I will try the Löfgren alignment tomorrow. Regards tkr | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? A short update on the SAEC 506:A really good arm, IMO, and built like a tank. It gives every cartridge I have tried on it a very "matter of fact" sound, but with a really formidable bass foundation. Right now I have mounted a Lyra Parnassus dct, a... | |
| Allocation of analog resources I don`t think that your request is too vague, but there are many considerations. Your phono stage is quite good, IMO, so I would concentrate on turntable/arm/cartridge, and roughly allocate one third of your budget to each component.There are also... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Nice template! I use a Dr. Feickert alignment tool, and it works fine. I have been in contact with Fonolab in Prague regarding an armlift- cum- armrest. They would be in contact with me as soon as they had it back in stock. As for carts, I have se... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? I have tried out three different carts: FR Mc-1 Mk.iii, SoundSmith gold DL 103 R and Accuphase AC-1. The Accuphase has a bit higher compliance than the other two, and shouldn`t work that well in theory, but it sounded the best of the three. | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Short update:Everything takes time, but the SAEC 506/30 has now arrived and is mounted. A very good arm IMO, although I have no experience with other 12" arms. Re. Geometry: Stevenson alignment comes almost naturally to this arm, with an infinites... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? @lewm Thank you very much, very interesting!I have no intention of trying to calculate an other alignment for the 506 as Dertonarm has, but it`s good to know. Vinyl Engine, however, does have a calculator showing offset angle and overhang for the ... | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Thank you. I have tried both VinylEngine and Vinyl Asylum without much luck.I will try it out with SAEC`s own geometry first and take it from there. | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? @lewm Could you elaborate ? | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Thanks.I seem to remember that most older Japanese arms are happier with Stevenson. As I wrote, I have already tried out a SAEC 308 L, and I was unable to hear any distortion as long as the overhang was correct. I have several low compliance cartr... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? About 6 lineal meters in the shelves and around 1 lineal meter in the basement. 2-3000? | |
| Turntable Speed @ibjunkman:I have never tried it on 78. Your iPhone would probably stay unharmed and on the platter if you laid it close to the center of the platter. I really don´t understand your objection- would you rather not know if your turntable speed is w... | |
| Turntable Speed @edcyn: If the speed is way off, you should maybe buy another turntable with speed adjustment possibility. |
