Romy the Cat has found another room. I’ve started a new fiction project under my name, Roman Bessnow. The new work is at MutationsBook.com

Romy,Yes, I measured my cartridge-tonearm combination with test disk. The resonant frequency was completely different compared to calculation with http://www.mh-audio.nl/MySystem/RF.asp.7 years ago, I tried Fidelity
Research FR-64FX with Grado Sona...

The dramatic differences I heard when I swapped out the Grado for the Ebony is as follows: The Grado had a decidedly "tannish" color that was accompanied by a sandy texture which filled in the "spaces" between the instruments. I should say that I w...

Sure, add 20-30g to whatever you use now and you and then your Grado will become useable. I have seen in past that some Morons who put their ignorant opinions in a position to shaping the public knowledge (they called reviewers) have written that Gra...

And do not forget to load the shell of the Series 2 with a LOT of mass. The idiots-reviewers were writing in thier articles that the Grado Statement needs, as any other MI cartridge, a low to medium affective mass tonearms. In reality the whore-revie...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

You may be even more right than you know. Going up the Grado line in $$$ you get more and More and MORE HF.: P...

Thank you for all the answers. I currently have four cartridges - Grado Statement, Dynavector XV-1 (not the s), Benz Ruby and Rega Exact....

This really doesn't bother me. I am a professional violinist. When I play in Avery Fischer Hall my instrument sounds quit different than when I play it at home and again different still when I play it in Carnegie Hall. Instead of neutrality, perhap...

some months ago. It was posted at AA about a year ago or so. I keep the "solutions" if someone interested wants to know his scoring and how much of a "fundamentalist" or "overtonist" is.The only interesting thing about it is how being one or the othe...

OK, not to use "that word"; it is obviously an inverted and self-limiting concept as you tab it, and it is an easy, slippery slope to slide down.So how does one {mentally/verbally] approach situations where certain otherwise-"acceptable" compone...

I second advise on microscope purchase. I went recently with my Grado Sonata to a friendly Audio Dealer who carries analog for many years and he said that he never saw a worn down stylus. He saw only damaged ones. He stated that it is like wi...

Hi Cat,It seems the 6e5p is driving the transformer directly. I've used various versions of even simple mosfet followers to good effect at the headphone level, but never considered using a speaker level transformer. Did you and Dmitry cons...

[quote user="morricab"] Interesting test you have conducted. Were the responses mostly unflat near the frequency extremes or was there variations even in the midrange? The reason I ask is because if you look at most of the published curve...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

Needless to say, my arm (the Well Tempered Reference) is all about silicone. And indeed, damping does change - somewhat - with the temperature. However, it takes extreme temperature changes to make me feel the need to adjust damping (whic...

I would like to buy new turntable – just to listen to music every evening. Current set up is rather entry by level – Technics 1210 with Grado Gold and Trichord Dino. However it could produce more or less correct time picture, and involve me into the ...

Romy, it seems like you are basically talking values and value here. No way to know for sure ahead of time how your children will take to Music, let alone hi-fi, and also no way to be sure now how long any interest will last, or how long you will li...

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

Hey,
Thats interesting. I'm using light Dennon arm (DA-401 one of their best models if it means anything) with Grado Sonata cart. Everything accept classical sounds very good.With classical so far I have the best results in my car radio or in my gir...

Hi. First time posting. I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000. He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades. He has ow...

I've had an RX-5000 for a few months now. I've read yours and other comments with great interest. I'm a long time high end dealer who is losing his vision and is mostly retired. I've known this particular turntable for about 35 years since it belo...

I do not have good-sounding high output cartridges; my most high-voltage cartridge is SPU MONO that is 3mV I believe. I have 5mV Grado $300 Platinum Ref that is high-voltage cartridge but is sounds not seriously. My desire to bring my 3mV SPU via my ...

Actually the popular stiff Denons (103, 103R) with compliance of 5 need no less the 35g of effective mass, but even this mass will not help them. The Shelter has a “normal” compliance, I do not remember how much exactly but I think that it is somewhe...
|
|
Antonio, I would like to point out that your replied to my post about the 103M cartridge. The 103 and 103M are totally different animals , even contraction-wise. In fact it is shame that they named them as they were the similar model number. Perform...

I got from web someone’s pictures of how that dam Russky arm was looking in the turntable. I think some of you would be looking and wondering…
Anyhow, 3 year later after spending some time with this arm I found myself to run this arm very lit...
