| Calling All Analog Gurus! What to do about my vintage Signet TK7LCa? Glad that the problem's solved Walter.I don't run my VTF above 1.2Gm for the 7CLa. You should try lowering below 1.5Gm.....Raul makes a valid point about Capacitance which you should try if it's easy to alter on your phono-stage and especially Res... | |
| Calling All Analog Gurus! What to do about my vintage Signet TK7LCa? The Signet TK-7CLa is nearly my undefeated 'World Champ' cartridge (of any genre)...and has been for 5 years.The LAST word I would use to describe is "dull"...😱It is smooth, sharp, detailed yet relaxed, transparent, exciting, neutral and sublime.M... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Fleib,Interesting point. Assuming the motor is still coupled with three rubber pads, it's not only the mass of the pod which resists motion, it's also the integrity of the coupling and mass of the motor unit insuring that resistance. I wonder ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Norm,When I first set up my Victor and armpods, I supported the turntable motor with its own metal shroud on Tiptoeshttp://i.imgur.com/Xp97BF8.jpgThis at first sounded better than most tables I had previously heard but I thought I could do bett... | |

Norman,I used to have my Victor installed in a stainless steel cradlehttp://i.imgur.com/2FH8xGR.jpgBut have since had a solid granite one madehttp://i.imgur.com/S97uGns.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ddKNHVx.jpgThuchan had an identical cradle made from my ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The TT-101 was the greatest stand alone motor JVC/Victor ever produced.It was a professional Reference motor unit made to compete with the Technics SP10/III, the Pioneer Exclusive P3/P3a and the Kenwood L-07D.http://www.thevintageknob.org/jvc-TT-1... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? As I sit in my rocking chair in Sydney, I thank you Eckart for that extensive (and exhausting) comparative exercise.It would be invaluable to most of us who have never heard an EMT 927 or big Micro even…..to hear how the Japanese DD decks compare ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Glad to hear you like the V15/III/SAS Jeff, although I wouldn't go so far to describe the original V15/III as "boring...lifeless"?Perhaps there is something wrong with your original stylus?The substitution of the SAS on my V15/III added to the ref... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Hi Lew,Glad to hear that you are enjoying the Victor but tell me....can you really hear the differences between all your DD decks and if so....how are you able to separate out the cartridge/arm effects?Regards | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover,I think his main point is that 'super' wow & flutter figures were unnecessary  because of record hole eccentricities which to me is just a 'cop out' 🙈 | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? HalcroYou have edited out the most significant comment by Gunther Frohnhoefer of Acoustic Signature with regard to wow and flutterDover,Unless I was prepared to type out the whole two page interview here...I was bound to leave out many things he s... | |
| Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... I have two turntables each with three arms...http://i.imgur.com/r2AM7An.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/msMbfXy.jpgWhat is my purpose?I have had around 50-60 cartridges over the years and have 'limited' myself currently, to the best 30 or so.Despite what mo... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You were lucky to find a SAS for your V15/III Jeff.Here's the original Shure stylushttp://i.imgur.com/yP83LIg.jpgand here's the SAShttp://i.imgur.com/0WKmX9k.jpgThe SAS is a worthwhile improvement.As I said.....if you find a Grace F9E in good cond... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You didn't attach the Link to my post Jeff.....but the M20FL was one of the first MMs I bought after finding this Thread and I can believe that I was impressed enough to compare it to the XV-1s.Just to cruel your impressions even more, the XV-1s i... |
