| Any Love for the Fidelity Research PMC-1 Moving Coil Cartridge Thanks Chakster. What are your thoughts on the PMC-3. What’s its sound signature. | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge 30 hrs on it now and things are getting a little smoother in the higher frequencies. I think this this is going to take 50+ hours to fully break in. I am still using the FRT-4 SUT. I will switch back to the Audio Interface SUT once things settle d... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge I have put about 15 hrs on it so far and it is starting to mellow out, thank god. Sounding very very good and bass is getting deeper and HF less fatiguing. I needed to switch back to my Fidelity Research FRT 4 SUT as it is a little less revealing ... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Well it arrived and looks like it has had very little use indeed. Cantilever and diamond are super clean under 300x magnification. I installed it on my Yamaha GT2000 using the Grace HS-6 headshell it came with, giving a total mass including tonea... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? Hi nandric, I opened my FRT 4 when I first got it and it was clean as a whistle, no corrosion, like new. I should clarify that the FRT 4 is outstanding but the AI just gives that little bit more. | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? As I was searching for more info on this SUT today I came across this review from Audio Asylum in 2006. It pretty much sums up my own findings. This is the mc trans believed to contain jensen trans', and actually may have been bought by the J... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? Well it has now been a month since I received the Audio Interface SUT and I am still very impressed with the level of detail retrieval the SUT provides. Whilst the FRT4 SUT is an excellent performer and is super versatile, the Audio Interface SUT... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Thanks for the additional info Chakster. The F10L at 8.6grams in weight plus the included Grace HS-6 headshell at 11grams and a compliance figure of 36, sure make it challenging for tonearm matching. Not sure what arm to put it on. | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Thanks Chakster, that makes this one super high compliance with a converted figure of 36. That’s quite a bit higher than the Grace MM’s such as the F9 Ruby and Grace Level II. What I find odd though, is that the mid point VTF is quite heavy at 1.8... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Thanks dgarretson, I presume the compliance is measured at 10Hz and not 100Hz like Audio Technica and Denon. | |
| Calling all Oracle TT owners. I have used the Oracle SME 345 and the Audiomods Series 5. I prefer the Audiomods.I wrote about my findings in this thread. It has other helpful info as well.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/are-there-any-delphi-oracle-users-who-can-comment | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment I own both an Oracle Delphi MK3 with Audiomods Series 5 tonearm and a Yamaha GT 2000. The GT 2000 was always preferred over the Oracle when I had my Oracle SME 345 tonearm installed, however since I switched tonearms to the Audiomods the Oracle is... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? Hi bimasta, thanks for your kind words. Mine did not come with any box or literature but the sticker on the bottom states CST 80 40 Z which is the same as yours, 40 Ohms / 20 dB gain.It’s funny that I too have the FR1 MK3F which is currently fitte... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? OK so the Audio Interface SUT arrived last night and first observation is that the unit is very small and very well made. A high quality product indeed. Trouble is I’ve gone and put myself in a self inflicted dilemma which you will read about a th... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? As an update for anyone interested I just discovered that I could reduce the reflective load from 470 Ohms to 40 Ohmn by installing a pair of 6600 Ohm Parallel Resistors.The 40 Ohms would then be 20x the internal impedance of the Spectral cartridg... |
