| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Thank you Raul for a superb review.Although English is not your first language, the time and effort you have devoted to describing in minute detail the attributes of this incredible cartridge have paid dividends in communicating to the readers, ev... | |
| Connectors that convert spades to bananas? I've tried literally dozens of various adaptor/connectors and because I regularly pull out the bananas from my main speakers when I re-route the sound to my kitchen speakers, I've found most standard banana adaptors 'loosen up' over time and becom... | |
| Pet Sounds-Full range and subwoofers only I have the reissue produced by Pawelski remastered by Ron Mcmaster in May 1999 on Capitol Records.Only my "calibrated ear" I'm afraid Tpreaves as the room response and pressurisation was such that it equalled that which I heard on the Stereophile ... | |
| Choices: Nagaoka MP-50, MP-300, or Garrott P77i? The subject of the Garrott P77 cartridge is rather interesting.Brian and John Garrott committed suicide (together with their wives) in 1991.I believe that they began modifying the English A&R P77 cartridge (which was manufactured in Japan) aro... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? Great journey and great report Tuchan.I hope you keep enjoying the music. | |
| Arm geometry and null points Sorry Doug, but John Ellison beat you to it on Vinyl Asylum with his one word answer......Yes!For that he charges nothing but your verbosity and 3rd degree deserve some recompense? :-) | |
| VTF and VTA- Constant or not? Doug,I lowered the VTF to 1.5gm and TRIED to get "negative VTA :-)" but with the DaVinci 12" it is very difficult (as Dertonarm stated).Nevertheless, with the DaVinci parallel the "magic" of the Universe returned to its former domain.As you have i... | |
| Turnable Rack Vibration Nsgarch has been right in everything he has suggested.The constrained-layer-damping is a nice touch and will certainly avoid any possible feedback problems into the shelf itself, but once you have your turntable on spikes, on a properly executed w... | |
| VTF and VTA- Constant or not? When our current UNIverse was new it needed ~1.70g. Today (2+ years later) it plays optimally (better in fact) at ~1.20g. That is not a typo.Doug!!! 1.2gm for the Universe?I seem to remember a post of yours saying anyone brave enough to go below 1... | |

| Arm geometry and null points Hi Jonathan and Doug,I made it clear to Yip that all arms were set using Baerwald geometry.I think maybe he wasn't keen on me NOT buying 2 other Mint Tractors for the other arms?RegardsHenry | |
| Graham Phantom ArmWand ? Email me and I can give you Bob's direct Email address.He does care about his customers. | |
| Arm geometry and null points Thanks guys, that's what I thought.The reason I had to ask Doug, is that I have just bought from Yip the Mint Tractor made for the Graham Phantom II standard arm which is, as you have said, the best template on the market IMHO.For my other arms, t... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Ahh Der Lapdog speaketh as predicted. | |
