I juts got home, put a record to play and suddenly discovered that my SPU has it’s cantilever bent 90 degree and then even twisted vertically. It was perfectly fine last night!!! I have no idea what kind forced what appl...

After much talking with people I am still at lost what cartridge to get in order does not worry about cartridges anymore. It looks like I “fixed” the Shelter but now I need to take it off and to remove dust from within the cartridge – the ceremony I ...

While it may be that a given "basement" operation really means to "do a better job" in terms of QA and/or sonic results, the technical difficulty (and cost) of actually doing this with tiny "critical specification" parts must be daunting, to say the ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It would be more complicated then that… as they do better or worth under the different conditions… I will be posting my further comments into this thread… Stand by….[/quote]A few words about the measurements above. When I m...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

[quote user="skushino"]Thank you Brian - you confirmed what I feared.Caveat emptor. The seller is the former Van denHul repair guy in Germany - Detlev Brod. He offered a new SPU mono, at a price too good to be true. I specified the GM25, and when I c...

What you have there Romy is essentially the cartridge Ortofon introduced in 1948, the first production moving coil cartridge.
The motor is the same, just the "suspension" material changed from india rubber to a modern elastomer AFAIK. Also the G-sty...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]Best contact Ortofon in Denmark and arrange through them (unless you bought through a US dealer). They will send you another one on receipt of the damaged one. Charge you replacement cost for it though - compare with Japanes...

Romy, a true old-fashioned mono cart, like the Ortofon C Series, has NO vertical compliance at all so theoretically could cause heavy damage to a stereo trace. However I am in correspondence with a chap who does play SOME old stereo pressings with a ...

Thanks, starboy.
It is educational. Your Mantis might be an interesting cartridge and it is too bad that there is no way getting any frame of its performance besides buying it. Among the people I know, in whose listening rooms I was and why were and...

I have 4 arms on my TT: reference stereo, romantic stereo, mono and the “shitty” arm. The “shitty” arm is Grado Reference platinum needle with SME M2-12 arm. It is not shitty arm but it has shitty purpose in my setup. When I buy records I pay the...

Stressing Bass in my former post I would like do not overly accent the lower bass itself but rather an organic combination of bass with something that I would call “full body” sound.
It we look at many properly setups, loaded and amplified cartridge...

[quote user="drdna"] The Decca London Reference appears ideal. I am probably going to buy one of these. Romy, you are free to borrow it if you wish to listen to it; just do not break it. [/quote]
Possible it is a good cartridge, I do not...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) High electrostatic or whatever other reason make the cartridge very prone to collect dust.
2) Exceedingly hard-reading with slightly overly prominent leading-edges of the phases. This demands VERY high quality...

[quote user="genesis168"]I am a owner of an ET SU-1 and would like to know what phono stage would go best with it. Would a Lamm LP2 be a good match?Will be using a Dynavector XV1s with it. Thanks in advance[/quote]It is truly an interesting question....

Dear Romy,
I have stopped by your site from time to time over the last year to see what interesting things have been going on. I generally do not say much, however I finally decided it was time to register and add a few comments to this d...
