| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? johnnyb53, Very good point. I had forgotten about half speed mastering. There has been a lot of things that came out of that short lived format. In regards to the Shibata. In many respects, I prefer it over some of the other advanced profiles... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm ebm,You are correct if that is what the final setup actually measures. That the position of his actual arm is 5mm out of the correct spindel to pivot dimensions for the length of his actual arm. 5mm off is 5mm off! But what is implied from the be... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I find it quite interesting what you have stated in regards the Victor and JVC. It has been my understand that they are the same company. I have heard though that the Victor Nivico, the stylus replacement arm of Victor might have been som... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Raul,Quote: Dear Dangcaonguyen: """ I mounted the arm 5mm shorter than manufactor reccomedation. The result was terific. """IMHO what it's terrific down there are only " terrible " and high distortions not real music information. End Quote: T... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I also have a NOS Beryllium cantilever for the Z-1. I have not used it do to the excellent results I receive from the SAS. I also have the X-1 mKII so what would be the point? These are being run by a highly modified phono stage with re... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Lwem, Who exactly are you to trust if you have bought a tone arm in regards to setting it up? 'dangcaoguyen', the gentleman who initiated this thread, provided the information given to him and and asked if he could move the mounting hole over 5 ... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Lewm, If you are given a spindle to pivot distance mount point of 215mm, then there must be a arm length that was used by the person who approved that 215mm position. Measure your arm and verify that it measures what is assumed to be its lengt... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A few years ago, Nandric scored a NOS X-1 MKII. It was I who purchased it for him from the Jauce auction site in Japan. It was therefor sent to me and I forwarded it to him. I spent quite a bit of time listening to it and did determine that ... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Raul, read the opening post. A tone arm was bought. Should he drill the mounting hole at the given dimensions per the manual? You say yes. Why? Because the manual says so? Sorry but mistakes often get made on drawings. I'm a Aerospace engi... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Hi LewmMy main point is not to dispute overhang dimensions but to dispute the assumption that because a templet says a arm is a certain length then the arm that you are mounting "IS" that length. Measure it and then determine what the overhang is ... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm I'm sorry Raul, but I do not listen to 'white papers' so I do not know what they sound like. I listen to records and know what I 'hear'! What you state about there only being one correct number for overhang and offset angle of any particular to... | |
| Cartridge headshell, what would you choose and why? Johnnyb53The Sumiko's and the Jelco's are the same head shell except the Jelco's have the arm finger lift attached. The Sumiko's do not. The LP/Gears ''Zupreme'' is the Jelco version of the same Sumiko's. Yes, there are stranger things that are ... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Lewm,I should also mention that the supplied head shell from JVC also is usable after my drilling. But instead of the cartridge being mounted in the center of their slots, the cartridge is now mounted near the forward most location of their slots... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Lewn,The problem with 'trusting' the given dimensions for spindle to pivot is that it is expected that everything else will just automatically falls into place (dimensionally). Well, that isn't always the case. What you are trying to accomplish... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm The ''Zupreme'' sold by LP/Gear has the slots quite a bit forward. This head shell is Magnesium with the screw for azimuth adjustment. Litz leads and are the same head shell as the Sumiko's. Their just not branded as such and sell for $50 inst... |
