| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? I'm having a deja vu moment...Is that you, Tom?Tom | |
| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? My experience with the Shure gauge (vintage 2006) and a LOMC cartridge lead me to the conclusion that I won't put a Shure gauge anywhere near my cartridges anymore. The supposedly non/low-ferrous stainless platform had enough magnetic attraction t... | |
| Michell - FULL or UNICOVER for a table? I tried the Unicover and didn't like how it weighed the turntable down on the tone arm side. Seeing the turntable tilted to one side and the suspension springs unevenly compressed didn't set right (to use a pun).I'd go for a full cover. I'm just u... | |
| Choosing a new turntable Dimensions of the Gyro SE have two components. Footprint of the motor and support feet would fit on a 18"x15" surface (with an inch or two of clearance behind) but to use a full dust cover requires a surface more like 20"x17" minimum to clear the ... | |
| Choosing a new turntable Oh, by the way...Artech Electronics Ltd (http://www.artech-electronics.com/us/index.html) carries a custom Rega RB250 for $549 USD. Here is an excerpt:"Artech Electronics has been supplying an exclusive North American version of the Rega RB250 on ... | |
| Choosing a new turntable Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I recently upgraded to the Gyro SE and have been really enjoying its build quality, its musical presentation, and yes, even its looks. I didn't consider the Gyro SE when I first researched turntables because ... | |
| what cartridge? The mmf-7 and JD9 combination is a good one. (I used that combo for years.) And the Ace should compliment it well. (It's one I considered.) If you want a great cartridge alignment protractor to use, try Conrad Hoffman's "TemplateGen" arc protracto... | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 TFK, everyone has a different take on the world. I've had some exasperating and negative experiences dealing with Mr. Music Hall, but he's also been very helpful when talking to him on the phone. I don't hold grudges and I've enjoyed mmf turntable... | |
| Music Hall MMF-7 Hi, Fromuda. A handy way to adjust VTA (tone arm height) with the mmf-7 is to stack playing cards under the base of the tone arm to maintain its current height. Loosen the tone arm set screws and then either add cards or subtract cards to get the ... | |

| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster My hunch in explaning the faster speed is that with your momentary loss of composure, you accidently had the belt on the wrong pulley sheave. You might consider something more permanent than a piece of toilet paper to keep the pulley sheave locked... | |
| Audio Technica AT33 PTG or AT33R Hi, Ryder. The AT33PTG is a fine cartridge. I've been running one for more than two years now. I added a Dynavector DV-20XL and use it on my primary turntable but still listen to the AT33PTG on my other turntable.The 33PTG doesn't have quite the d... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi, Goatwuss, the turntables are mmf-7 with the aluminum Pro-Ject 9 arm. Nothing fancy but they work. The DV-20XL rarely has problems tracking but there are a few recordings that seem to give the cartridge a bit of trouble. The AT33PTG just plays ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I started reading through your thread and this last post prompted me to reply. I also own and use a 33PTG cartridge and I've found it to be an amazing tracker. It may not have quite the treble response and clarity or the better tonal balance and b... | |
