| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, Halcro et al,I am, by my inquisitive nature, still intrigued about this **'organic' transparent 'rightness' of the humble MM cartridge**...I have floated one **hypothesis**: (from Greek ὑπόθεσις [iˈpoθesis]) consists either of a suggested... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul and All,I have a question, that might help me to understand some of these MM 'issues'.The guy that gave that A$R P77 to me (also V15 VN35MR) has replaced it with the relative new Ortofon OM 5E, their most affordable MM if I'm right. e is c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK, and Hi All,I had to 'fall back' on my MM carts (very recently acquired) as my MC is in for repair.So, I had no option to start with, when dealing with that 'stand-in' MM. I found out to my surprise, that it (A&R P-77) is at least as demand... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Hi All,as mentioned (promised?) the Orpheus L cart measured today.It is to spec. in all but down by ~ 1.5dB on cross-talk at -28.5dB but the same for L/R Spec. Channel separation: Greater Than 30dB.Listening to the cross talk Ulti. Test tracks see... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Raul,just a bit of chit-chat on this Orpheus loading in a more general vain.You say:>>> due to my Orpheus experiences IMHO if you don't like it loaded at 100 Ohms then there is something wrong ( maybe this is not the right word because yo... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Raul,now that is what I should call VERY GOOD news! Since we finished O'scope testing of that Orpheus (it's just a bit down on cross-talk rest is on spec.) I'm back to normalcy... also my PW is packed to be returned to the supplier. So, right n... | |
| Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru Hi WarjarrettI have the idea that most folks about, just don't have the Mega-Buck budget --- and so they couldn't care less?! :-)Some say: --- that prices for these babies are big time marketing influenced, same motor, a few more or less windings ... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Raul,sorry I forgot one more thing please.Your say, and using my own words here: "Axel, you do not compare Apples with Apples", yes?Now let us know what TOP MC carts greater 0.4mV minimum and no more than 4ohm DCR, you would have used to compare y... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Raul,you say:>>> first you never heard a top MM ( like the top MC Orpheus. ) in your today system bis a bis against any top LOMC. <<<Well, that my be true and it was the intend of this thread to find some of those top MMs. How... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Thanks Bmckenney,it's not so much to replace a 20X-L but rather to get a take what MM would better this kind of MC...I just had in short succession a A&R P-77, then a Lyra Dorian and now a Transfiguration Orpheus in my system --- well, good ol... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Hi :-)I wish Dougdragon, and Darn_ed would join the that "LOL:)" just a little bit --- hey, now "look at me" man!Greetings,AxelPS: that right man, someone thinks I'm that Beverly Hill cop dude Foley, pissing off that whole oh so serious congregati... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Raul,can you tell me perhaps about the Garrott P77's cantilever material (alu-tube or boron?) and stylus (micro-line, or parabolic, elliptical?) then I'll get some idea.I had to put a Dorian in my system (for O'scope is measurements, it measure... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi All,some more information of this history of A&R that seems to require a correction from my side.+++++++A&R surprised everyone again in 1981 by introducing a range of phono cartridges offering exactly the same magic formula as the origi... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Hey Dan_ed,man, not "LOOK AT ME" ...look at these measurements. I have no noise to take care of as I explained, so ARE you reading what I put there? I NEED NO FILTER neither my buddy, somehow it feels you are busy with some other contributor. No n... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Hi All,as promised some more measurements information.First the good news:A well used Lyra Dorian that did perform much better than that first measured cart (PW) showed the following:Loading with 1k, AND 10nF capacitance, measured on XLR pre-outpu... |
