Did you see this piece Paul?http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/vta_e.htmlI'm not sure what to make of it. We certainly don't seem to suffer with the issues of poor mains to the same degree over here and I found that I can set up my cartridge so that i...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Stich , your own complains about aforementioned arms (Schroeder mostly) was "no highs , no lows " . Pretty primitive way to judge a productfrom a sophisticated listener like yourself. Since you seem to have unlimited budget , ...

Correction: The CH brand phono stage I looked at is (of course) a current amplifier, and no reason to be curious about a regular old, typical voltage amplifier. I see there is also a VERY Expensive, 4-chassis version of this (already expensive) pho...

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...

Ah, think of it this way. Imagine floating the input to your ET step-ups. Don't ground it. Let the primary and phono cartridge float. This is a similar situation but far far more sensitive. It's a mind game to make it ea...

Let's see what Framer will find next...got a mail from Australia that Continuum has Production Problems. Also some master brains left the company...Well, I did listen 3x to the big Continuum, 2x it was more or less defect. The last time 1 channel did...

Are you absolutely sure that the headshell mass loading you use has not had an effect on the life of this cartridge?I have my reasons for asking but the explanation is too convoluted to write at this moment!...

[quote user="AlexBerger"]Romy,
I use Ortofon Rondo Bronze with Nottingham Spacearm and Spacedeck. I hate Spacearm because bad tracking. Also, I can't add mass to Spacearm.I going to try a heavy tonearm.Fidelity Research FR-64FX with Ortofon Ro...

The GSC-related part of my 2014 was about refining my system so I can reliably "get inside" and explore the largest works, including Bruckner. Refinements were mostly about slightly re-tuning my speakers and tweaking my newly-re-built phono cartridge...

1) Be very careful with use Halco resistors. They were very good 15 years back but they turned south very aggressively. I bought a party of Halco in 2005 and I forced myself to trashed them as they were very noisy. You do not use then in critica...

I don't see how the cartridge inductance is doing anything as far as that schematic goes.There's another thing *very* wrong with it as well, but as you're not going to pursue it, we can leave it at that....

Thanks for lt me know your euro tastes .. Romy .. but it would be more interesting for me a debating on arm mass and cartridge compliance....

youd be amazed at the garbage that can make it into modern vinyl, especially recycled Vinyl. Disc flatteners can work , Furutech has one at nose bleed prices as does Air Tight http://www.axissaudio.com/special/DFO1U.htm . The furutech website lists ...

This is one example of the very successful marketing Hypes and in Reality this cartridge is sonically not better than those for 1k (at best)
I did compare it with a Lyra Helikon...

A friend once recommended me to use a wet cloth to slightly moist the tonearm's upper side to avoid electrostatic building up, before playing each record's side. It works wonderfully, especially here in my city which is very dry and electro...

Is there such a thing as partly unshielded arm wire? If you want that run shielded, don't you have to start at the cartridge connection? Just asking...Best regards,Paul S...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Fuck the Fremer and anathema to each single audio product he touches. Sometime those whore do play the primitive publicity games in order to send a message of “own integrity”. That all BS and I do not even want to talk abo...

Perhaps one reason why the Sussurro does not sound like other MC cartridges of Armen's experience is that it is NOT a MC. In fact it is a Moving Iron cartridge with fixed coils and fixed magnet albeit with low output.NB Capacitance is an issue I beli...

I shot a Pic from a Turntable, the owner bought a brand-new Ortofon cartridge this week. When I looked at the pic I saw that the angle is not the angle Framer recommends. It is not a super sharp picture, because the focus adjustments were on a differ...

Jarek, did you ever use/develop the cartridge? If not, WTF? If you did, surely you are obliged to share?Best regards,Paul S...

Bob Graham of Graham Engineering can provide you with a silver wire transformer that sounds great to my ears. More accurately, I don't hear it detracting from my enjoyment. I use mine in conjunction with his silver wired phono cartridge s...

Continuing my crawling in the sea of cartridge excrements, there is this Lumiere DST, inspired by Neumann DST-62 and highly praised by Stefano.Difficult to get any reasonable info (at least some basic raw data), apart from apparent sample-to-sample h...

As a weekend-only listener, it can take me eons to break in some of my most stubborn components. In the case of the K&K, things seem to have reached +/- tonic equalibrium.I may have have mentioned it in passing, but at some point ...

The Windfeld apparently suffers from production inconsistency. I'd avoid it. Ortofon have just released a new cartridge, the A90, which looks promising.I agree about the Decca Reference, I recently heard one in an SME 312 arm and it was very good, no...

With SME 3012 (Shelter 901), Ortofon RMG 309 (Orotofon S15-T) and Micro 237 (french mono cartridge early 50's, unbeatable)...I couldn't really get the sound I wanted out of the TT until I put it on the SR stands, I envy your vibraplane but trying shi...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...
