Did I do a good thing or not?

Brain fog in the morning made me misstate the inductance of the Shure's coils. I know the difference between micro and millihenries. Anyway, I'd rather listen to a low-inductance Grado MI than a Shure. That high coil inductance makes MM's very sensitive to cable and phono stage capacitance.

In my misspent youth, I had a V-15 Type IV, but back in those days, I barely knew how to set up a cartridge, so I'm curious how the V-15 will sound on my current lash-up.

Just please allow an old man to get his jollies off somehow!

Best to all,

Dan

I have a multitude of arms/cartridges & TT's.

Fyi when I had a hiatus from audio I ran a Shure V15vmr in a modified ET2 - superb results. Also like you I have a Dynavector 501 - the Shure V15vmr sounded very good in that arm as well. The V15 did not sound great with any of my other arms.

So from my point of view you have a great arm/cartridge match with the 501/V15 - I ran the Shure with the stabiliser brush removed.

Dover, I am so glad to hear this news. Now that I'm a certified old fart, these kind of exercises are fun, and don't cost too much. I wonder it it'll outshine the Dynavector XX2MKII (a real verteran around here, with a SS retip aboard), an AT ART-9, Acutex M 320 LPM, or my ESCCO modified Denon 103R.

Good stuff! Regards,

Dan
