Apparently … Made the HR100S and HR100s MCS arms in the late 80’s early 90’s, it’s a medium compliance unit featuring a ultra rigid design machined from titanium right from the bearing to headshell as a one piece, features a ceramic gimbal bearings and was designed by Mike Knowles, the Xenon was a slightly cheaper […]

In a currently running thread on a certain RIAA / Line stage beginning with the letter “E”, some very provocative comments were made that are of a general nature. I fear that this conversation will be lost on the many individuals who have soured on the direction which that particular thread has taken. For the […]
STEREOPHILE MAGAZINE: There are a thousand different ways to make a loudspeaker. A hundred to make an amplifier. And at least a million to make a piece of wire. But here’s the deal with a moving-coil phono cartridge: stylus, cantilever, rubber grommet, tensioning wire, coils, magnet, output pins, and maybe a body. Done. That’s […]
I’d always fancied one of Alphason’s titanium tubed arms like the HR100S or a Xenon. The HR100S tends to be quite expensive (too much for a punt anyway) and I can’t say I’ve ever really heard one at its best as they mostly tend to have been wired with the horrible vdH cable throughout. A […]
Gentlemen. I have recently upgraded my Goldring 1042 moving magnet (MM) cartridge to a MC and was originally considering Denon DL-103R or Audio-Technica AT-OC9ML/II. After deeper investigation into Arm Effective Mass and Resonant Frequency due reports that the Denon only being suitable for med to high mass arms I found that my Roksan Tabriz (standard […]
1: 102 A concept with possibly only one prototype of a stand-alone phono stage and/or step-up. Never put into production 2: MCA FM tuner. Only a handful (UK spec only) ever built, in order to fulfill an obligation. Chances of finding one = near zero 3: 107 power amp. Re-badged from left-over Zircon / Orpheus […]
It is as if The Funk Firm Houdini helps your cartridge escape the intrusion of the tonearm, then. Granted, some might have selected their current arm/cartridge combination precisely because of how they sound together. Yet for those considering upgrading either or both items, I suggest you try the Houdini first because it will improve the sound of […]
Geoffrey – what is your response to the statement ‘How many channels do you think it takes to make a music listener happy; One. Mono’s fine. I’ve never heard anybody bitch about Louis Armstrong, saying, “I would enjoy it if it were only stereo” Now this question is interesting from several perspectives and I’m going […]

I have been reading many views on the Forums (not just here) about the 1200/1210’s and the deck has been received with mixed views. Many just don’t want to be asociated with a ‘DJ’ playing ‘Happy Birthday’ by Altered Images at a kids birthday party and others who want to know more but maybe to […]
It’s true that, in general, belt drive yields better sound quality than direct drive. But it’s equally true that not all direct drive turntables are bad. Direct drive got a bad rap thanks in large part to all the cheap plastic junk foisted upon unsuspecting audio buyers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Not […]
