| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? You matched it well roberjerman:)The Cotter P Transformer was for very low impedance cartridges (2 to 30 Ohms) which would have been ideal for the FR1 MK3F which has a 10 Ohm internal impedance. | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? I agree Dave and it's one of the reasons I think the CST will not be ideal for my Spectral but it looks good for my Shinon.As per my calculations if the CST has a turns ratio of 1:10 and my Shinon has an Output of 1.0mV and an internal impedance o... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? Once again bimasta you have provided some excellent info. Thanks so much for the list of all those cart. I think your CST 80 H (high) is the 40 Ohm version like mine as I read elsewhere that the Low version is the 3 Ohm. It’s good to know that it ... | |
| Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT? bimasta, thanks for the great info. Can I ask which version you had, 3 Ohm or 40 Ohm and which selection of carts did you use.Whilst I initially plan to use it on the Shinon Boron Red first, which seems to be a good match, I will ultimately want t... | |
| Looking for Technical help with Scan Tech (Spectral) Cartridge I should probably reiterate that this buzzing started the instant the aluminum record clamp touched the center spindle, when I was changing the record over. | |
| Looking for Technical help with Scan Tech (Spectral) Cartridge Hi jcarr, I double checked with another cartridge and there appeared to be no problem. It only seems to occur with the spectral. I posted a short short video to see what happens when I simply either brush the cantilever or place the needle on the ... | |
| Looking for Technical help with Scan Tech (Spectral) Cartridge Thanks very much jcarr, this is great info. I am out of town for the evening but will definitely send you a message and probably a short video demonstrating the issue as it is quite puzzling. The fortunate thing is that it still plays amazing when... | |
| Looking for Technical help with Scan Tech (Spectral) Cartridge Hi Cleeds, the tonearm is a one year old Audiomods Series 5, so I am not sure that could be the problem. The buzzing started the exact moment my record clamp touched the center spindle. This is why I think it may be static related. The turntable i... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @nandric, I had a long conversation with the VdH representative here in the US a few weeks ago and he explained that Mr VdH performs all the rebuilds himself and that he bought the last remaining supply of Boron tube. Whilst he did not go into de... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @chakster, I totally agree with you that these rarities with broken cantilevers should be rebuilt by Soundsmith, Expert Stylus, Garrott Bros, VdH etc, and that the results of these rebuilds, whilst not exactly the same as the original, will be gr... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @ronco, sounds like you have a great selection of AT and Signet carts. These vintage MM's are certainly a pleasure to use. I will let you know how it compares to the AT ML180/150.@rauliruegas, thank you so much for starting the very long and infor... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice As an update, I just picked up a NOS Signet TK10 ML. Can't wait to see how it compares to the AT ML180/150 combo. | |
| Fidelity Research FR5e Thanks everyone for your responses, very informative. I'll give it an audition and if doesn't impress I'll use it on my son's table. | |
| Fidelity Research FR5e Thanks for the info Halcro. I plan to install on my Yamaha GT 2000 with Zupreme 12g headshell, making mass of tonearm 21g. is there another cart you would compare the 5e to and what other carts in your collection did you prefer it to. Thanks | |
| Grace Level ll Harold, I have it installed on my Yamaha GT2000 stock tonearm which has an effective mass of 19g when taking into account the headshell. This is not considered ideal as I think would benefit a lighter tonearm. I was going to install on my Audiomod... |
