Yum, analog

I'm listening my system; Dac, Classé preamp, CFA/bal and the LCD2. All system on Bal connection. Guys, this is just brutal. Thanks Dr. Gilmore !! I consider that the Dynahi has a more "musical" sound and the CFA/bal has a flatter and more precise sound being a beast in terms of power. Now I am considering whether to do my unbal/bal or to use the CFA directly using the preamp outputs of my Classé.

that was for the alps quad pots as I remember

The real cantilever tour de force was the V15-V stylus, which was a 0.5 mil thick beryllium tube 20 mil in diameter. They made that out of beryllium shim stock cut to tiny size, and rolled it around a rod in a miniscule jig. Put it in an annealing oven to stop it just springing open and take a set, and then adhesively bonded the overlap and took the rod out. It calculates out as over 4 times stiffer than a current generation boron cantilever in megabuck moving coil cartridges. US patent 4,473,897 from 1984 describes the beryllium cantilever manufacturing process. Then Shure lost faith in vinyl when CD came in, and lost all the beryllium tube know-how and junked the kit. So all they can do now is bog standard aluminium cantilevers.

There's a lot to admire in both systems Craig! V15 has always been know as THE tracking champ. A lot of archivists still use them on their SL1200.

I remember Kevin posted something about pcx. They wanted a 100 piece minimum or something like that. I've got two email addresses for Sellmark. Going to try them both

made a mid-size one

I noticed a small chunk of surround left. They should be good for another 6 months.

Here is the latest CFP gerber file with the servo mod, along with the schematic: cfp2hmt.zip cfa2cmirror.pdf

My fault, I forgot to include the first column for editing. It should work now. I added your name too.

They arrived. Now to get them installed. Edit: going to hold off for a bit given the condition of the roads around here right now.

Just another rendering with the transistor and screw mounting in...

My yggy was in for a Gen V upgrade when the analog upgrade got announced so I decided to get it done. I was thinking of selling after the Gen V upgrade since I'm happy with the Holo lvl 3 (and SFD I MKII). Get it back tomorrow so we'll see how it sounds...maybe I'll keep all three DACs.

The speakers in my Smart weren't sounding quite right, so I replaced them. (I had gotten out of the habit of listening to the radio for the better part of a year. I guess during that time the surround rolls went from...well, they just went...
