| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Lewm,yes, I think this could be right. It again would explain that even some well noted/quoted phono-stage designer(s) like SE. There was Lamm's Vladimir Shushurin? that stated his clear and decided preference for SE -- but I think he then uses a ... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Thanks Kirkus,gotta get lucky once in a while in this here Audio game.But as you mention as well, noise is only one facet of it all. As I noted - tonality is yet another thing. In fact, funny enough it also seem very high on Raul's list of evaluat... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Rumpel Stiltskin :-)now, how can we apply these Roman gutter constructions to the price of new tonearms? Did they have their resonances sorted, when flushing?Couldn't we perhaps get some Roman tonearms and have that issue evaluated?I'm thinking... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Henry! your call I guess.Good German Bier, Wurst, und Brezel :-)A. | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Well Raul,my own findings really concur with Martin Colloms', but so be it :-)A. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,adding my phono-cable parameter to the 100pF question:***Capacitance: Core-core: 58 pF/m.**The cable is 1.18m (balanced) so: 58x1.18= 68pFThis excludes the wire going through the tonearm.Would this indicate to be NOT in need of any added c... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Lewm,of course you are right! We are talking one channel at a time, sorry.>>> ... he was referring to the generally much higher and more reactive impedance of MMs and the fact that these parameters may not be identical for each phase of t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,looking over Raul's link (Loading the Magnets) once again, actually seems to answers my question. But I have the idea, by going into 100k is the cleaner treble lift, then using some el-cheapo ceramic C. Now, what to do if the MM has too much tr... | |
| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? Rightoh,we are getting some where here, as: "Less is more!" | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high >>> ... the physics that still govern the biggest part of the design has been available for quite a while? <<<Yes that "?" is well put. Vibration / mechanical resonance mechanics is one of the more difficult subjects yet. The Tac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Kirkus, Raul,thanks for the response, but what was the answer?Let's try again: "MM loading for stupid people"What would you say is the amount of less capacitance required, going from 47k to 100k pre input impedance?Let's use a mean suggested va... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Kirkus,y.s.:>>> I feel that in a high-quality phono preamplifier, ALL harmonic and IM distortion should be completely and totally buried in the noise floor, which in itself should be very low. Yes, low-order and even-order products are le... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high D. :-) :-)why, we ARE always good for a laugh.Have you ever had an 'Empire S1000 ZE/X' in your FR 66? That would be telling, --- before I go shopping from Schroeder to Brinkman and back to what not.Now it bedtime, nighty night.A. | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Goatwussone curious thing to note, and it might tie in with that cart question also.The best this far I got this track playing was with carts that had a much higher compliance i.e. softer ones, and quoted as around 23cu. The Jubilee as we know is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Kirkushere we meet again :-)Question: Why then would Raul have suggested to rather go to a higher input impedance in favour of adding a capacitance?i.e. 100k in place of 47k.Next there are plenty more 'modern' MMs that can get VERY trebly, and ... |
