| Removable headshells 101 Greetings Professor (Timeltel),Good to see you here.I readily accept your experiences with headshells of differing materials.....and this is something we should all share.But it should not be a mystery? We know that differing materials perform dif... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Geoch,All good questions.I too had those questions when I was first deciding which headshells to buy and found there were no readily available sources which could answer?Hopefully we may uncover some of these answers in this thread? :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Will do Dgob,But probably best to do it on the new thread Removable Headshells 101? | |
| Removable headshells 101 I'm surprised at Raul's response.Whilst I can appreciate that what he has experienced may indeed be true.......to then throw up his arms and state that he has no understanding of the reasons for the performance changes of various headshells is con... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As MC is mentioned at the same time as MM in the subject of this ubiquitous thread, I think it is fair enough to compare some of the great MC cartridges to those newly discovered wonders of the vintage MM era?It certainly could give some 'referenc... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Timeltel has raised the subject of the rubber 'O' rings normally supplied between the headshell and the locking-collar of the tonearm.Fidelity Research abhors them and Yamamoto headshells also are supplied without.I have largely eschewed them with... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Amidst all the philosophy, Timeltel does a nice segue into headshell 'O' rings?I know Fidelity Research supplies none with their headshells and tonearms and even go to lengths to advise users of other headshells with FR arms to remove the 'O' ring... | |
| Your favourite cartridge Good Lord.......do all the various Signet TK-7 models sound the same?Or are there levels of 'greatness'? | |
| Your favourite cartridge I've had several of the cartridges mentioned and at one time would have voted the ZYX Universe as my favourite.......but time marches on......or in this case........backwards!My top 8 cartridges now are all vintage MMs from the 70s and 80s with th... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I think Syntax has taken shots of Dertonarm's first production unit.The first run won't ship till March and my one will be in the first shipment.I think it looks beautiful and knowing Daniel, I'm sure it will also work as promised.If it does......... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You don't get 23 templates.......you can choose 4 out of 23 (or probably 30 by now).Anyhow.......I think it looks promising and I've put my order in for the first production run.I'll let you know how it compares to the Mint when I receive it.In an... | |
| Pre Amp with top class phono stage? The Halcro DM10 preamp has a superb phono-stage with fully adjustable loadings and capacitance values for MM/MI cartridges as well as handling the very lowest output MC cartridges.Expensive and hard to find but that wasn't your question?Oh.....and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor,Your 'ramblings' are greatly anticipated as there are generally incisive and valuable clues and hints contained therein.As to trying the 155LC stylus......?What with the Empires, the Technics, the FR-6SE and the 3 Signets vying for ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,I well remember the days of the Supex and you are right......it heralded the 'end' of the MM and the invasion of the MC.I clearly recall at that time, visiting the home of the famous Garrott Brothers where they demonstrated, via remov... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Every once in a while a piece of equipment will be inserted into your system that will cause a paradigm shift in your point of referenceOr so the parable goes?……….Over the past year, I have had so many of these that I’m becoming groggy.From a ret... |
