Hi Loheswaran,
Thanks for the kind words.... :)
Congrats on obtaining the Victor QL-10.....
You may know that I'm a keen 'Fanboy' of all things Victor and have the TT-101 and TT-81 myself.
Hopefully you have replaced the standard rubber mat with a fine leather, deerskin, calfskin or pigskin...
Wish you had played both videos from the same point so that the bass response could be heard in the second......
As it is....on my computer speakers playback, the first recording sounds too 'hot' on the cymbals and treble energy.
Hahaha....
I was keeping my trump card Alvar Aalto for the night session.....and if necessary, would have thrown in Gerit Reitveld, Ron Arad and Frank Gehry....:p
Absolutely Jeff....
Not sure about the “greatest master of modernism”.....Le Corbusier, Mies Van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam..... but surely, with chair design (if not architecture).....one of The Greats :cool:
They are a disaster.
The Link wouln’t accept my Email address as a Subscriber (even though they SENT me the new advice to that Email address)....and they haven’t responded to my Email complaining about this...nor does Customer Service at TAS bother to answer separate Emails to them!
They owe me...
That's strange because I have all three headshells (HS-1A, HS-4 and L8000) set-up and used on the DV-507/II without a problem. Agreed that the DV-507/II uses Stevenson geometry which puts the cartridge quite forward in the headshell....but the mentioned headshells are all fine in that respect...
The Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber is superb.
The Ortofon L-8000 Wood and Yamamoto HS-1 Ebony are also excellent.
In fact almost any decent headshell is better than the included Dyna one which has abysmal cartridge leads to boot.
The included Dyna phono cable is also a ‘dog’....
