| Goldmund Relief clamp repair? I've had my machinist here in Tucson make new brass bushings for three of those clamps, so he's had plenty of practice ;-)) BTW, the originals are bronze, not brass, which is why they break after awhile (even Goldmund isn't perfect!) Email me and ... | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed SME V is a great tonearm (I've had mine for 20 years) but hard to adjust VTA -- and impossible to do it "on the fly" (while the record is playing.) SME can be excused a little bit, because the arm was designed before the era of line contact styli;... | |
| Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less Mr. P: I was totally charmed by your old/new/used system choices. As I visualized what you had put/kept together, the (very rare) thought came over me, "Gee, I'd be interested/curious what that bunch of stuff sounds like!" -- I consider that (prob... | |
| A lost favorite. Can you help me identify the LP? Can't help you w/ your cassette investigation, however "Memo (not Letter) from Turner" (by Jagger), can be found on the soundtrack recording of the movie "Performance" in which Jagger stars. I think "Turner" was one of the characters in the movie. | |
| dustcover up, down or off "Seriously, I've seen tt covers that surround and enclose the entire table without being attached. I really like that idea!"Actually Mapman, that is a good solution, but they tend to be heavy if properly constructed, making them a PITA to use; and... | |
| dustcover up, down or off I also think it's turntable dependent. However I think it best to "follow the physics" so to speak.First let's assume a concrete slab-on-grade floor with a rigid rack or stand, or alternatively, a wall-shelf lag-bolted into a brick/block wall. So ... | |
| Heard McIntosh 275 For The First Time. Nmmusicman, please see my post on Cardas Caps here:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3119557&postcount=2 | |
| Interconnects and phono pre My experience, which also confirmed the recommendation(s) of some designers of high end cable (Silver Cable, Magnan, Purist, MIT) is that it's a good idea (some said essential) to use the same cable between the tonearm >> phono preamp and th... | |
| Turntable wall shelf A piece of granite will always ring, just like glass, UNLESS it's thickness is approximately 1/3 it's longest unsupported dimension.I forgot the Raven has built-in Stillpoints. You simply need to set them on something utterly inert to any kind of ... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Stan, the Supex cartridge(s) you specifically refer to, have elliptical styli. In fact, Supex makes cartridges with either spherical or elliptical styli - no line contact styli! AND they all have medium compliance suspensions, and some even have h... | |
| Turntable wall shelf Hi,I am very well, thank you ;-)For both cost effectiveness and the most rigidity, Target has always been my choice. They come in two sizes. I prefer the larger shelf size regardless (for rigidity and versatility.) If you can anchor to masonry, so... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Stan, the tonearm manufacturers are indeed now catching up with the essential differences between MC and MM cartrige requirements. Or to be more specific, the difference in the tonearm settings required by cartridges with line contact styli and pr... | |
| Need Help on my ML 26 >>I am curious about the straightwire cable. They say that Straightwire and ML are a match made in Heaven. I noticed you have a set too. What do you think of the cables?<<Straightwire Maestro and MIT 330 were my cables of choice (back ... | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Al, thanks for the reinforcement. You obviously have more insight/experience than you want to claim ;-)Tonarm, I really have nothing further to say to you ;-(Neil | |
| Anti skate and tonearm damping query Dertonarm, my explanations are based on the Laws of Mechanics introduced by Sir Isaac Newton July 5, 1687, and which remain true and in use to this day. You can point to all the little nuances which you assert would have an effect on the basic des... |
