| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,I can actually understand your response :^)....and it gives me some solace just as Dgarretson's Thoreau quote does.By the way Dgarretson.......a wonderful selection of equipment in your system. I'm impressed :^) | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? The FR-64s is truly a great arm suitable for low compliance MC cartridges and.......surprisingly.......high compliance MMs.It can be found for $1500-$2000 on the Internet.As Syntax says......you can then "close the book" :^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? terms like "smooth" and "romantic" are usually problematic...They have a strong tendency towards subjectivism.... and as a result can mean something different to each and every person.For the last four or five months…..I have been re-evaluating a... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Rower,With remote subwoofers.........one has the ability to position them to counteract room modes, suck-outs etc and achieve the strongest bass performance at the listening position.With subs attached to the main speakers.......there is not that ... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? This article by Richard Hardesty convinced me to buy the Vandersteens2WqRegardless of the brand of subwoofer......this is quite a valuable article IMHO. | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Rower,Your last posting on the single Paradigm sub seems to contradict your valid (IMO) penultimate conclusion on the benefits of multiple subs does it not?Having lived with a single REL Stadium II subwoofer in my system for 10 years (running full... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? The Vandersteen 2Wq subs come with a high-pass filter.....which IMHO......makes a huge difference to the headroom available for the main speakers.They have three 8" woofers per sub driven by its own 300 watt amp.The passive W2 high pass filter is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Montepilot,Congratulations on your system.It certainly is of the highest calibre and able to illuminate the qualities of all your cartridges.What you hear....you hear.And you are certainly in the majority of high-end analogue listeners in your ... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Dear Mapman,Shouldn't the letter 'p' in your name....be a 'd' :-) | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Dear Nikola, Thuchan and Raul will really understand your effort.Now that you've pointed it out........I realise how in the minority I really am?!But what is this....changing the geometry to match the record??!When you are telling me that this is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Montepilot,What phono stage are you using with the MMs and the MC cartridge?I have found that many of the 'modern' phono stages include a MM capability as an afterthought.......if it is included at all?The quality of the phono stage for a MM/MI ca... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Good questions Mapman and Peter......In one way I agree with both of you. There really are too many choices BEFORE I even choose a record to play?!On the other hand......for 30 years.....I listened to one turntable with one arm and one cartridge (... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Dear Raul,Why not align all tonearm designs at 225-227mm?THE REASONIt ain't a pretty sight huh??.....and most arms should sound their best at their Manufacturers recommended specifications?But apart from all that......I would then not be able to u... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry?
