| Opinion on SME 15 Noise introduced through the bearing to the record can’t be fixed or compensated for elsewhere - though we are probably talking about levels below commercial pressing limits.@tobes A ’rumble filter’ doesn’t help? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I found an NOS Empire 2000Z. I didn't expect it even to be good, but I was riveted from the first notes. I've never heard a cartridge with such energy, even enthusiasm in playing music. Accurate? Maybe not compared with some others — but I've been... | |
| Oricle SME 345 tonearm on Michell Gryro V puts the matter to rest. | |
| Oricle SME 345 tonearm on Michell Gryro My assumption is it’s step up over the 309, but not sure if it’s a big enough step to get over the color and Oricle logo.It looks like my 309. Why do you "assume it's a step up"? | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Delete | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new I too found the LP12/Ittok 'mediocre'. But I tried the Ittok on other tables (including Oracle Delphi II) and it excelled. The LP12 was the weak partner IMO. I still use an Ittok 25 years later for certain MCs. | |
| Stroboscopic disk sets wrong speed for turntable? Are you sure the app-strobe flashes at the right frequency for that TT? | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? @edgewear — Have you used the SAEC SS-300? I’d like to know your impressions. | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics i have no idea why anyone should buy it if very similar lift made in Japan by Audio-Technica is much cheaper?AT is again making its own invention, with a simplification (the old 'lock-down' wire wasn't needed). When AT's patents expired, others ru... | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. I would not personally use an equalizer......I consider it analogous to altering the colors of an original painting.I think this analogy is misleading. An 'original painting' is a work of art. A musical performance is a work of art, but a recordin... | |
| Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ? If it’s as good as the BL-91, it’s exceptional. If, as the higher number suggests, it’s even better, I can’t imagine how. If it has the 505 tonearm, I’m not a big fan. It’s very good, don’t get me wrong, with a great feature I’ve never seen elsewh... | |
| Cogging! Thanks for the info Lewm, and sorry about the FR question — I confused you with another Audiogon member whom I follow closely.The DQX uses a different motor entirely than the DDX — it's made by Victor — I don't know if it's the same as used in Vic... | |
| Cogging! bimasta, If you hear no issues with the turntables you own, then how do you know the motor is guilty of cogging? Is it merely because they are iron core motors?@lewm I just noticed your intelligent question. Honestly I don’t know; I guess because ... | |
| The Presslift @rodman99999 My pleasure, hope it works for you.To OP, if you're still listening. Despite some negative remarks, your spiral idea is brilliant. And multiple arms too? I didn't think of that, nor of no need to reset. My only misgivings are not with... | |
| "New" Thorens 124 sounds great, but... Early 124s had a ferrous platter. MCs became popular later, and that platter created havoc, just as you describe. So they made a new platter, non-magnetic. Swinging to the outside is repulsion, and playing with adjustments won't change the laws of... |
