When I first installed the Hanna EL the voices were to large for the rest of the music , and more than one set of ears was there to hear it. But arter some time maybe 15 to 30 hours of play ,everything sounded good .
Do MC's Need Time To Wake Up?
I know this is gonna sound silly, but what the heck. Has anyone here ever noticed the output level of an MC cartridge increase some time after installation? I've had this feeling before with several carts, but the differences always seemed very small. So I chose to discard it as some sort of psychological adjustment on my part. As if I needed to wake up to the change of sound.
But today I took delivery of a Jan Allaerts MC-1 cartridge. A previously owned sample, but coming from a reliable source and not having been used for quite some time. This MC-1 (the basic ECO version) reportedly has ca. 0.5 mV output, but at first play it required the same volume level as the 0.25 mV Entré EC-30 it replaced. But after playing a few sides I had to turn down the volume several steps to maintain the same sound pressure. This time there's no way I'm fooling myself. Or am I?
Does this sound familiar or should I just put it in the X-files?
