gem cap

Post by Fonotec »

Am quite pleased with the Ortofon DSS 732, formerly owned by Fullersound, but I have acquired a couple of other DSS heads for spares...

So far, so good, with the blue cutter. 808 boom is no problem, at least for now... †

However, I noticed that the little rubber diaphragm which covers the underbelly was disintegrating. So I scraped it off. But what was revealed was a hole into which one could espy the bottoms of the coil housings. It is possible for debris to get in there.

[leaking from Wikipedia: "......due to the small size of helium atoms, helium's diffusion rate through solids is three times that of air......"]

Hr. Rønne was kind to send me a new hilt already clad with the seal. I'm sending him the unclad one from the blue cutter as a "core exchange."
