| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,the spec. sheet of the seller says 1.5g VTF for the M20FL super and NO range is given.Axel | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,>>> When you changed the load resistor on your Windfeld from 100R to 47R...Does it now compete with the M20FL, in your opinion of course? <<<Yes, it does --- in a way that e.g. the MP-50 does compete. It's sort of like two p... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Downunder, Phaser,this does not strictly belong here as already mentioned. Yet as the Windfeld has the same motor as the A90 and 47ohm loading was mentioned as very good with the A90, I now gave that a try with Windfeld. Voila! it happens to be TH... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,>> ... Ortofon M20FL Super - arse slightly up, got that.<<Well, if you'd ask me it's quite A LOT up! In fact (measured at the arm post) about 5mm, and that certainly is more then "slightly" in my book.That cart is ~ 2.5mm les... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Phaser,1. this is a *new cart* a replacement for a defective one. Well, maybe it again is defective?! I sounds ~"MC wise" OK and not *bad* at all, but ultimately is not as good as some other NOS carts I mentioned. In the most simple of terms is do... | |
| Cartridge and step up / riaa for TW Acustic Raven Toffeng,yes I had a GCPH a while ago for some two odd years when I sold it again --- and it is good value for money no doubt.You will have to spend quite a bit more $$$ (in my estimate as some others have it) in order to get better, --- and as alw... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Downunder,y.s: >> the A90 is clearly in a different musical and sonic league compared to the Windfeld for only a little price premium.<< and>> The A90 however is comfortable better than the MP50 in my system.<<Very good fee... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Right Raul,I recall your saying this, yes. I do now think it must be weighted much higher as how it came across to me at the time (might be just me though). It is most noticeable with very difficult tracks, yet in the less noticeable parts it tran... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Lewm,sorry I have no A90, only the Windfeld and the M20FL-super sounds more natural, has more detail yet, and also is a better tracker! (It's why it sounds better also, my take)It's why I said, this A90 as it's assessed above is the next important... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out Buddy,using adaptors (XLR RCA, or what ever) with *any* phono-cable is one big NO NO!So my advice: DON'T!BTW, the GCPH wants to see a single ended (RCA) input, and only then it is converted (via OP-amp) into a differential signal and further handl... | |
| Where is the problem? Tracking error? Tzh21y,just try a good MM or MI and see what happens.I have had all this nonsense with some pretty good MCs and no amount of fiddling with the set-up would cure it completely.Lately I put in a MP-50 Nagaoka (MI)(~$500) and voila! Problem solved!Ma... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A question:Why are MM / MI cart better trackers?I slowly find out that some more difficult grooves are negotiated with just more aplomb, then with any amount of fiddling when I use some of my MCs.In fact I have come to think it may well be one exp... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Tobes & All,I do agree in every respect with what you're saying, yet let me throw out one more curve ball.The Windfeld I'm referring to is a new replacement of an earlier one that had issues also acknowledged by Ortofon (who replaced it for no... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Hi Tobes,just let me chip in on these loading findings. The Windfeld and A90 having the same generator it might give *some* perspective, and *mostly* with regard to the phono-pre-amp in use. Mine are ML 326S phono-modules (inside the 326S).Now loa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I've a question to the MP-50: What means: "IM type"?The MP-50 manual states: " The MP cartridge power generation mechanism, an IM type, is that the magnet outside the vibrating system magnetizes the vibrator. The set magnet selected .... uses s... |
