| Nude Turntable Project DearRaul,Thanks for your encouragement. It was you who planted the idea for this whole experiment and I am enjoying it and learning a great deal about TTs, arms and cartridges.The reason I can't turn the TipToes upside down is because the base of ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Bpoletti,I started with the Empire 4000D/III on the Grace 904, the Empire 1000ZE-X on the Micro 505s and the ZYX Universe on the FR-64s. I then switched to the ATT155LC on the FR-64s and the AT-20ss on the 505s.I've put back the Universe on the FR... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks Genesis168,I will certainly be comparing the TT-81 to the Raven AC/3 but this comparison may be more than simply that?Raul has helped me to realize that the great MM cartridges made 30 years ago, are more than just a match for the very late... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ok guys.........I'm not quite a 'serial cartridge killer'. Just one measly recalcitrant Azden....although a few years back I did feel like doing the same with a new Titan i which refused to match well with my Hadcock GH 228 arm.However....cost con... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks T_bone. I'm pleased with them and initial listening tests are very promising. | |
| Nude Turntable Project We have LIFT-OFF!Now a few weeks of heavy running in of cartridges, arms and cables before preliminary listening impressions?NUDE TURNTABLE | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson, sorry.....I never considered the stylus in my haste to send that damn Azden to the perfectly tracking tonearm in Hell where it's spindle to pivot dimension is constantly monitored by Beezlebub. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ....appropriate downforce to achieve a flat response...LOL Timeltel and T_bone.Lew, I've got 14 cartridges which have no hum in any of my 7 arms.Life is too short to kvetch with an obviously defective (and now improved) Azden. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I bought the Azden YM P50VL on Raul's recommendation and the sample sent to me by the US dealer, hummed loudly on all my 3 arms. I sent it back and he claimed there was nothing wrong but would send me a new one. The new one ( I suspect the same on... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi T_bone,The aluminum top plate is 10mm (3/8") thick and comes with the correct sized hole pre-drilled for each arm and is screwed to the bronze arm-pod.Each top plate costs a mere $90.00 so many arms can be accommodated by simply switching in th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I've just received the raw bronze castings for the arm-pods (see link).I designed the pods to suit all the arms I'm familiar with so that the inside diameter hole is 55mm diameter which can take the thick VTA tower of the Continuum Copperhead arm ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks for the encouragement Bpoletti.I guess it's too late to stop?......but I am having fun.I'm thinking of getting the Fidelity Research FR-64S tonearm. There is so much hype about this arm (especially among the Germans), and although it's a hi... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Well things never go smoothly do they?After chasing some known arm-pods worldwide, I was shocked to learn that the basic cost of each one was $2000-$3000...and that's without the delivery costs, duty etc.This lead me to design my own pods in solid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Here is Raul's review of the Empire 4000D/III where he rates it up with your Technics.4000D ReviewI can't do much better than this but I've been listening to it in the Copperhead for a month now and I still can't fault it.It does things ... | |
