| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Halcro,good information and it seem to contradict what I had learned, which is: The A&R was a re-badged Garrott with a lesser / cheaper stylus initially. It then was may as you in the 80s bettered with a P-77 stylus from the Garrott P-77, w... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Hi Dan_ed,that's fine, now we could be on your page... B U T a 1dB channel separation (balance variance, left vs right) would still be nothing to right home about. With your kind of cart (and mine for that matter) we are talking smaller then 0.2dB... | |
| cart measurement vs quoted spec Howdy Dan_edha, ha, :-)>>> ... but I'm sure cartridge manufacturers have a better way to measure all of this without putting stylus to vinyl. <<<As we say over here: "my foot in a fish can..."I asked them about the value of the i... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi All,I think that noise (high pitched 50Hz I guess) seems some odd ground-loop problem that I could tackle now. It seems to have to do with my XLR connection which is extra sensitive to this type of thing. I put the screen of the XLR phono cable... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Thom,you say:>>>I would restate my question in the context of your particular tonearm/effective mass <<<I have used use the 20X-L in a Pro-Ject 9c arm (with the old thick arm tube used with first RPM 9). It sounded great with ... | |

| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Hi Al and All,I think that review statement:>>> ...Competes with all **but** the best of today's moving coils <<< sums it up for me so far.Given some minor variations & preferences, all MMs mentioned this far seem ballpark wi... | |

| stereo cartridge on mono record Hi Eldartford,you say:>>> It is essential to remove sensitivity to vertical modulation by jumpering the two channels together, or using the MONO switch on your preamp (if it has one). <<<Any idea at all, why when I use that 'summ... | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Thanks Photon46,there is a Reson Reca review by e.g. t-n-t out there, see: http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/resone.htmlIt does not strike me as a 'MC killer' exactly, i.e. not the best pick for classical, which I listen to a lot, but neither woul... | |
| It costs me $100 a week to listen to vinyl Hi Emailists,your post brings up some interesting questions for me.1) Why would a stylus be worn out after ~ 2 years of intensive / exclusive listening ---- if the records are CLEAN / cleaned. Vinyl has some 'self-lubricating' properties that augh... | |
| phase correction for records? Hi Jennyjones,let me add my few pennies worth.I can invert my pre-amp (includes phone-stage) as well as my CD-player. I mention this so as to comment on the result when doing this. VERY, very, small difference in my system it is. A top of the rack... | |
| It costs me $100 a week to listen to vinyl Hi Halco,that is educational in deed!you say:+++ I watched Brian Garrot remove and glue a new stylus... It is not rocket science like re-tipping moving coils seems to be? +++Have you ever tried that yourself at all? (I'm not being sarcastic, pleas... |
