| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,so you still do like your type III, I can't blame you :-) I still haven’t received my SAS and now having 'discovered' this –negative- VTA bit with my VN35MR. I guess I should have known all the time, but as I stated in another thread o... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Dear All,thank you for those details shedding some light on all of this. I say SOME because now I'm in some turmoil about VTA, even accepting a fair degree of compromise I start to see why some arm manufactures come out with what others consider r... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi Cucurello,you say:>>> An unused Ortofon MC10 with step up transformer <<<So, here is one more point, going with what Gregm has noted.As he is correct in saying, that making definitive recommendations without knowing the type o... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi,let me put it this way, since I do not know if your step-up has a cable coming out from the secondary side (the one to go to the phono-pre).The tonearm cable will go into the primary of the set-up, it would say Input and a range of Impedance nu... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli OK, some confirmation on a Shure V15 III VN35MR stylus that needs negative VTA, quote: "... this one needs neg. tracking angle, it was engineered for recordings when the angle of the cutter was frequently at 17-20 degr., not the contemporary 22-24... | |
| Quiet Tonearms/cartidges?? A RCM => (Record Cleaning Machine) is a MUST as far as I had to learn. And that ALSO applies to NEW records as far as my experience tells me. A lot of them new one's are not a pristine as one would like to have it. I use a Hannl MERA (pretty qu... | |
| Mono/Stereo Carts? No, if you mean 'micro grove' vinyl monos and no old shell-lack monos which use a very much thicker stylus geometry. (Like a fire-poker compared to a sawing needle :-)You'd then be using your poor stereo cart to scrape along the bottom of these ol... | |
| Quiet Tonearms/cartidges?? Hi,I wouldn't want say so much about the other stuff as yet, but Raul's advise to stick with the V15 III gets my full support. You have not mentioned your current stylus type (see in front of the protection flap) or its condition. In fact I would ... | |
| Pressing quality from nation to nation Hi,living in SA and having mostly local pressings as 2nd hand source, never mind other (older?) ones from Zim and so forth. There is NO CONTEST with most imports, even when done in the old East-Block like Czechoslovakia or USSR.As to the more curr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Next AT question like Badcap's:Has anyone here with an Audio Technica AT-140LC tried the 'upgrade' stylus ATN440MLa on it. Was it an improvement? If so in what way. ThanksPS: Thanks Badcap, for your typing help :-) | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Only MC line-styli expertise out there, or am I too impatient :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,I got another dose of anti-MM yesterday and it brings about my question: Has the better 'fit/sound/match/etc.' of these MMs to do with the 'inability' of 60dB plus phono-stages to 'truly' resolve the much smaller MC signals, than the one of... | |
| Which MoFi and MoFi UHQR LPs? Hi Yogiboy and All,I followed this thread for a while and the Steely Dan 'Aja' comments and G. L. 'Sundown' etc.I have both LP's BUT not from MoFi, so... how I wonder can the stock Reprise LP by G.L. sound any much better from MoFi then it is in t... | |
| best cartridge for less than $700 for AQ PT6 arm? Hi All,I have a question with regard to:>>> I nominate the Ortofon 2M Black ...... Also cheaper to own than an equivalently priced MC <<<< and the comment+++ I would look at the Dynavector 10X5 or 20X .... +++Has anyone had a ... | |
| Garrott P77 MM Cartridge Hi Halcro,oh yes, to your suggestion for Tobes... we will keep our eyes and ears peeled :-)Halcro, I have a VTA question that I also spun out in a separate thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1244713018There seems to be a dic... |
