| Help... my turntable is alive! The "heartbeat" sound is still present, but only after the first few minutes and then going away a few minutes after that. I have tried several different records, but still the same effect. KoestnerHave a look at the arm lift and check that there... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! The cartridge comes very, very close to the record when playing and a sharp warp could be the "bottoming out" heartbeat noise. Certainly I need to inspect this issue for more evidence.Looks like the suspension on your cartridge may have sagged ove... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System @halcro I've noticed that both you and J.Carr have recently 'transferred' over to 'The Dark Side' by adopting the new Technics SL1200 DD turntable over your previously loved belt-drives.The Empire in your case and the Final Labs and big Micro Seik... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System @halcro Thanks for that - agreed. Ideal would be TT in separate annex away from airborne vibrations.For those that can't afford the Herzan I have previously had some success with sound absorption panels behind the TT in resonant environments. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System All the following readouts contain vibrations of higher frequencies (mostly above 1000Hz) which are able to be absorbed, reflected or dissipated (to a degree) within the normal provinces of footers, stands, isolation devices and depending on desig... | |
| Best mc retip service Now the prices vary from about 80 for a new tip from one supplier to a full £1500 for a rebuild. You can buy a brand new 501mk3 for under £1000 - the top end quote is a joke. | |
| Cartridge with broken coil wire Check with Garrott Bros in Oz. | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) @nandric There is however this premise in your reasoning which is not true while logic state ''if the premise is not true then deduced statements can't be true''. But you may be a follower of Kant with his ''free will''? As the most of us know the... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) @halcro cheers@chakster The original Technics EPC100C used a titanium diboride cantilever (TiB2). This is a titanium boron compound which is classed as a ceramic, not a metal. The later models from the EPC100Cmk2 onwards had pure Boron pipe cantil... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) There is no best cantilever material per se.The selection of cantilever material and construct will depend on what the designer is trying to achieve with their particular cartridge design.Typically the designer will want avery stiff cantilever mat... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @vpi I have found with the original aluminium arm that removing the internal foam and heat shrink improved transparency. I did this ins stages to verify each step. Ypou might want to try it.I also opened up the cartridge end of the arm tube remove... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris/HarryInteresting Bruces comments. What was not imagined from using magnets for eddy current damping in my system was increased volume, I had to turn the volume down. I used cupboard door magnets - 2 in parallel underneath. Bear in mind the e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HalcroI have similar experiences. We used to sell the Sumiko Talisman range, same cartridge different cantilevers - Standard - Magnesium/Aluminium alloy cantilever/Elliptical StyliTalisman B - Boron tube / Line Contact - nude mountedTalisman S - S... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HalcroThanks for the update - the XL88 you have has a composite cantilever comprised of beryllium, aluminium & carbon finer - same as was used in the Madrigal Carnegie that I used to sell. Its a good solution. I suspect part of the advantage o... | |
| Can stepup transformer be used with an MC phono stage? Ignore the above post it is irrelevant.Your electron images phono is a pure tube unit with loading RCA sockets on the rear. The input impedance is more likely to be either 47k or open. You can measure the input impedance with a meter across the in... |
