Ceramic cartridge phono stage options?
A good friend is wanting to try a ceramic cart on one of his many tables. The biggest issue is finding a phono stage that can handle the carts particular requirements. We have read countless forms post with no real solution other then DYI'ing a phone stage for it. Add to that no one can seem to come to a solid design that more then one person can agree on.
Do any of you have expedience with ceramic carts and their particular requirements? Is their an off the shelf phono stage for them anywhere out in internet land?

In the Link, I have been demo’d Audioflyer’s System for a decent period of time. Use Audioflyer's info from Page 1 and throughout the Thread to get the direction that should be the most useful. Philips GP390 Ceramic cartridge NOS 1970s - Page 7 The Modified Cart’ he had produced was captivating in use, and was enough to compel myself to buy the same model with a Spare Stylus. I will be having this modified, by adding a Boron Cantilever and the modifiers own form for a Stylus. Conflict has stopped the Service wanted to be used being Posted to. The same individual is also to receive a Cadenza Black to have my design for it be realized, hence the Cantilever can be the Donor for the Ceramic Model. A version of the mod’ for the CB’ has been done near Covid Times and the new user of the CB’s has been very very impressed using a recollective comparison to the older and original design. My own take is that a returned thoroughly cleaned Cart’ after a 500ish hour usage period, will substantially impress from a recollective comparison to the used sent Cart’. Works undertaken change the voicing, the Gamble being the Voicing Change, may not be to the users taste!!! To date for myself, I have enjoyed the new voicing much much more that the original Cart’, as I have spare donor models, I don’t have to recollect to gather the info that enables such a statement. |
