After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]We are at severe devaluation of reference points and nowadays any Moron with a rudimental knowledge of HTML and a few vocal cronies can become a “reputed manufacturer”. [/quote]Hi Romy, it is even worse. Based on the high n...

[quote user="Paul S"]But why would you consider brass connectors because of 95% of boutique RCA if the idea is to wind up with the best signal path?[/quote]Of course not because of that! The ideal would be the connector I've shown but made with pure ...

Romy, is that an SPU Mono that you have there? This converted stereo cartridge (SPU = Stereo Pick Up) has its coils rotated 45 degrees to reduce vertical sensing.
The Ortofon C Series are the genuine mono cartridges - the motor system is the same ...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

Wow, price inflation in TTs were a lot worse than I thought! (more than 400% in nominal prices in the example of Goldmund).
You are right, the prices in audio seem a riddle wrapped in a mystery within an enigma. As a manufacturer, it is almost...

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...

Since my “End of Life" Phonostage have materialized I got exposed to a temptation of finding a “right” cable between my tonearm to the phonostage. The most critical cable between the step-up transformer and phonostage does not exist in my system anym...

Romy,
I don't know if you have seen this effort by a gentleman in Greece. As I said, I'm not really a fan of the high mass approach. (I've listened to a few but generally find them tonally unbalanced) This design seems to take that approach qui...

This new “Rev B” Ortofone Jubilee surprised me with it amassing agreeability
I have a nasty habit to emphasize in my listening attention the things that I do not appreciate. I might listen something, would it be amp, or speaker, or live event,...

Possible, with all my conversation about Mantis I do not remember I ever made any guess or assumption how it might sound. In horns, I feel I am qualified to make sometimes very bold assessments with very high prece...

I usually do not do those “fetish trips” but here I think it might be educational for Western readers as it is slightly different. I got an email with a like to a clip that you might like. It is Russian-made turntable Korvet -038, from which I ...

"Bugger dogma!". Romy is quite right challenging my obeisance to the Series 1. These things are so rare and when found are likely to be in a somewhat less than pristine condition.
However, it is not only the arm tube that is more massive but the ...

Well, how to maintain their site it is the matter of their own business of cause. Still, I think what they do with site is silly. The people who go there do have ALREADY a specific interest and they look for information, not for a presentation st...

I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

Interesting to see your different opinions also regarding the complementary inertia options.
Again, I'm touched in this subject because of HS-80 which no question is sexy but with it unfortunately I didn't have chance to set up the stable speed on m...

[quote user="drdna"]Romy,
I believe the cartridges are manufactured form Decca by JS Wright in London.
The suspension is less of an issue since the Decca cartridges use a novel transducer. There is no cantilever. The stylus connects di...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...
