| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,Thank you so much.I closed down all the local abattoirs over the holidays.....and I have never heard such purity, openness and transparency as a result :-)Who knew that vegetarianism was the path to audio Nirvana?Regards | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm inclined to agree with Raul on our lack of 'scientific' knowledge regarding turntables in general and plinths in particular?I don't doubt that plinths make a difference to the perceived sound of various turntables.......but how do we assess wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,Retired Balkan lawyers in Holland must have some good superannuation......or else the state is very generous with its benefits?Regards | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor,As Nikola will agree........having 2 turntables and 6 tonearms is both a blessing and a curse.The Virtuoso is on R&R whilst I listen to the Signet MR5.0LC, the UNIverse, the FR-5E, the Signet TK-7LCa, the Signet AM10/155Lc and t... | |
| AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage? Thanks Al,As usual....you contribute some logical perspective.How it gets past the Shindo power conditioner though.......is even more puzzling?.........and annoying!RegardsHenry | |
| AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage? Hi Dover,Yes.......I switched the phase switch during the occurrence.....but no change.I'm currently Googling the location of abattoirs in my vicinity :-)How about knackeries? | |
| AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage? Dear Nikola,Battery powered phono stage?.........that sounds like a solution.Finding one that will take balanced and unbalanced inputs together with balanced outputs and include variable loading and capacitance as well.....might be the problem?Reg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings Professor,Your crystal ball needs refreshing.......it's summer here and more like 28°C (82.4°F)....Power is clean at the moment :-)........but 'fire up the barbie' season sounds good!Haven't seen a typhoon in Sydney since...........???Al... | |
| AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage? Dover,The soundstage completely collapses with little width and no depth.The highs become brittle and emphasised at the expense of the midrange and the bass has all the characteristics of an 'out-of-phase' connection.In other words.....it sounds l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor and Raul,Sorry to give the impression that my phono-stage is 'down'.........I was merely sympathising with the Professor's frustrations at his system sounding poorly from time to time?My Halcro preamp is working perfectly......howev... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There are other sessions when the components seem to not want to have anything to do with each other.Greetings Professor,I know what you mean and I sympathise.This last week.....for the first time in a year....my phono-stage has been destroyed by... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Dear Nikola,I am so convinced by the advantages and flexibility of removable headshells......that only the Copperhead (out if my six tonearms)......does not have this feature.I notice that the new DaVinci Vertu tonearm now features a removable hea... | |
| Ozzy members who do you use for shipping OS Another vote for DHL........although it's hard for a private indivual to get anything out of them without having an Account?If you go to your local Pack & Send......they will be able to get a reasonable price from them to anywhere in the world... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks In_shore.In regard to your 'lost' channel.......I also had exactly such a problem with one of my FR-S4 headshells.After storing it for some time with a mounted cartridge.......the right channel went missing on re-insertion.I thought it was ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,As Nikola says.......the 'intruder'....or 'troll'.....turned our thread into personal attacks on one or more people we know.They were inappropriate and offensive posts which have since been notable by their absence. |
