| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,a quick report back on SAS stylus for V15 III cart. It is *hyper* resolved, but I can not go enough down with my SME V arm to get at least to 'level arm' position. (last band is lifting the arm out of the groove)So far the V15 III with SAS is t... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Doug,please would you be able to give us an idea about some other carts that would qualify, having the type of 'hot' stylus as the one I mentioned.I have to add, that the V15 III with SAS stylus is riding a bit too low for my SME V arm and I'm ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee One thing to mention: I just had my FIRST cart that would track this dang cut --- a Shure V15 III, B U T with an SAS (after-market) stylus. My brand new Windfeld still doesn't track those sibilants and neither does ANY of a handful of other MM and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,+++ Axel, I urge to change your load impedance to 100K!!! +++I'll work on it, but is a TX2575 *THE* resistor for this, or have we also some other useful suggestions?I'd truly dislike the though have so solder and re-solder a discrete R on a c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I just now put back my Empire S1000ZE/X after a short sojourn with my recently returned new Windfeld.Just listening to piano and orchestra is such a relief in 'reality'. It is of course all related to my all SS system, but the Windfeld can't to... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Dgarretson,I will look into it when I have some ZEN.Greetings,Axel | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Raul says:+++ things are that Axelwahl is running his cartridges at 47K and that's a difference. +++One of the draw-backs with SMD phono-boards is, that such changes (47k to 100k) are an issue...Having said this, right now I'm back with my ... | |
| Need to be educated re: MC Step-up transformers Hi Salavat,your Phoenix has 0.4mV output, yes?A 30 dB SUT has a 31.6:1 voltage ratio. Therefore 0.4mV*31.6 = 12.64mV output of SUT secondary to your phono-pre ---- and that will pretty surly OVERLOAD your phono-pre input stage, usually starting to... | |
| Need to be educated re: MC Step-up transformers Hi Flyfish2002,seems you are NOT the only one that uses a somewhat 'wacky' SUT setup e.i. going over the top with the input voltage, etc.I finally got my NEW Ortofon Windfeld back and was trying it, something just didn't gel when I used the SUT as... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi all,yes, lots of things seem to play into it. For my setup, it's all SS, it ALWAYS just seems to sound more 'complete' when I run MM or MI.It is a weird thing, that MC seems to have 'everything' more in terms of transient-speed and -resolution-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Howdy All,Frogman you do have come up with the same explanation I did (and posted in various threads), but here comes the 'problem': I like to overcome it by using an SUT with my 0.3mV Windfeld.Raul is no friend of SUTs in general, neither in part... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I am currently using one of my 'old' MMs, the Empire 1000ZE/X. (Still awaiting my Windfeld replacement back from Ortofon).That said, I'm still curious what any of the currently available Ortofon MMs sound like when comparing with some of those ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul:good to hear your Empire performs "just splendid!"Could it be I got the VTA/SRA just right as well this time? As I mentioned I have it now at ~ 1.5mm arm up measured on the V arm's side line marking. This means quite a bit more when meas... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul:sorry, I just was being lazy, the full code is of course S1000ZE/X. I'll bear in mind that S1000 is another item. Turns out my best cart for the current set-up (and my speaker x-over is now maxed out...)BTW, I'm still awaiting the SAS co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul:the VTF I'm using is actually 0.875g and not .75g, but on certain records the needle hardly wants to find the groove and is happy play in between :-)Axel |
