| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Lewm,you are so right, in fact I would up the stakes to $3000 easily IMO.I'm back with the M20FL super and it just seems to bring out details in "right" way no MC so far could do in my system. Again let me mention Jubilee, Windfeld, Axia, Orpheus,... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Hi Doug,if the arm-post is tilted relative to the platter (not 90 deg.), the azimuth keeps on changing from beginning to the end of the record, aye. Why? Because the bearing (most usually has a ~ 20 deg. off-set relative to the straight axis of th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I read this refresh with some interest. I had a Dorian re-tip with Jan Allaerts (ex-apprentice to vdH… long ago). So looking at the cost is something else. In this case Euro 900.00, THAT is "where dog lays buried" (German saying). Not su... | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Nsgarch,let's agree to disagree here. If the avg. spirit level is toward the one or the other side touching the demarcation line THAT is NOT 1/2 degree! I work with that stuff so let's say 1 deg. plus to one and 1 deg plus to the other side, i.e. ... | |
| Cartridge Loading Well Halcro,now I beg to differ with you - and go with Doug KISS aproach :-)I been chasing my tail with MC loading, SUT (with and without primary and secondary loading) and with every value you want to imagine --- result?MM sound simply better goi... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Hi all,as I mentioned in another thread just now, in the case of the SME V the locking of the arm-post in the case of the V allows for some 1-2 deg. tilt relative to the mounting surface. If I read Halcro's comment with the VTA lifter = threaded r... | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Nsgarch,please bear in mind with all this beautiful theory, and also Dertonarm, that:1) At least with the SME V the pivot post can be clamped within a "range" (tilted ~ 1-2 deg. either to one or the other side!) thereby changing azimuth slightly, ... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out Hi,I had the GCPH and apart from getting 6dB more output with the XLR, you will also find to get some more depth of detail.Having said this, detail is NOT everything and you may find that the RCA could sound a bit smoother, or musical by compariso... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Hi Pasg,having read all the previous inputs I suspect the mounting base is not level with the platter or the pivot post not 90 deg. relative to the plater level. This would cause an azimuth off-set from the arm post relative to the platter...If th... | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought Nagaoka MP-50, MM cartridge -- wow. | |
| SMEV set up problem....help needed Hi Wes,my method is to have a number of spacers that fit in-between the bottom (clamp mount base) and the arm lifter / arm rest plate. Inevitably this distance winds up at about 1/2" (12.7mm). The spacers I mostly use, based on various cartridge h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timtel,y.s.: >>> Axel, when next you align for your M20FL, strap on your V15/SAS without lowering the VTA.<<<If I understand you right, you are saying the M20FL needs quite some heel- / bearing-up / VTA. In deed, it is what I fou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ooops,Grado RSII ... sounds like earphones to me?! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I been working with shorter mounting bolts (as short as can still hold a nut, at the bottom). I'd noticed that some other carts also have minor issues in that department (picking up more RF).The result with my Empire 1000ZE/X is quite interesti... | |
| Minimum Cart Output for 30db Gain Phonostage Hi,let me add some mustard from my own experience. (BTW I do agree with Al's statement.) Why?Practically speaking, I use a 3.0mV Nagaoka MP-50 with a 60dB! phono-stage setting and unity gain with my pre-amp which is just fine at about 12 - 1 o'clo... |
