| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why MC sounds fake. MC has false over exaggerated detail. MC has a weak presence region. MC has s weak midrange. MC has weak bass and midbass. MC sounds terrible with step up transformers. MC is noisy with a lot of mid fi phono preamps. MC sounds a... | |
| Phono stage gain too high??? Should I return it?? Do not try to change tubes to change the gain. The circuit is optimized for a particular tube- the 6922/6DJ8. A higher output cartridge should not be used with low impedance loads like 100 ohms. I don't think low output cartridges should be either... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) So, I’m looking for an amplifier (separates or integrated) that has the current needed to round out the sound. @gochurchgo I'm suspecting that is not the case. The amp you have right now is able to act as a voltage source on your speakers. The ... | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! You can find some stuff on ebay. Some of it looks clunky but should do fine if hooked up right.I'd try googling that one at any rate. | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! Yes, they do. With additional regulation, they can help. | |
| Rega Planar 3 hum resolve. The correct fix is to ground the motor, which is closer to the tone arm when it is nearer the center of the record.A wire to the case of the motor (and what the heck, the spindle bearing as well) and then to the ground of the arm does the trick.Du... | |
| First Tube Amp My speakers are 98 db 1 watt 1 meter as well and I find 30 watts to be the minimum power to use! My room is about 17' x 21' and moderate liveliness.If your room is smaller and more lively you might be able to get by with an SET, but if it were me ... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! Atmo-Sphere MP-3 has no remote. Which would be nice.We do have a remote. Editing the website has become a nightmare since we changed ISPs. | |
| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions Ralf it’s no penalty for trying existing one firstThe way original needle sounds is unbeatable by any aftermarket .In room conditions without usage it will stay just fine for century...the suspension of most vintage needles is visible with pocket ... | |
| Question for tube aficionados I never had good luck with that variant. They often sounded harsh and microphonic. So I'm not the best person to ask... | |
| Classic Over-reaction! Or- not worry that the unit hums a little when the toaster is on. | |
| First Tube Amp By bloom do you mean harmonics. Atmosphere, I think I found the corresponding website ;-) how would something would sound with loss of “low-level detail” which is what happens with push pull amps. I’m guessing more “bandwidth” is more frequency... | |
| Transcendent Grounded Grid vs Foreplay III The advantage of grounded grid is wider bandwidth- so its not uncommon to see grounded grid inputs on old televisions or radios.But if you pay attention to Miller Effect issues (capacitance associated with the grid of the tube) its no worries gett... | |
| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions Consensus seems to be that the suspension for the stylus may be suspect after all this time.For something this old you can count on it, and its not something you can see with a microscope. We're not talking about the stylus- the suspension is at t... | |
| Cartridge MC matching with phono Cary audio PH303 The actual output is 0.5mV; but despite your phono gain is a little on the low side- you will want an active line stage. I would audition it with and without loading; if you hear no difference, use it without the loading (it will track better). |
