cart measurement vs quoted spec
Hi Dan_ed,why is it that some of you folk make me feel like having root-channel?Having insinuations of lacking integrity, lacking general understanding of the basic issues, using inane approaches to problem solving, and the like is not warming one...

Hi Larryi,you say:+++ I wonder if your problem with orchestral crescendi has to do with your channel imbalance issue. +++Right now I think it has much to do with it, lots! But even more so, the out-of-whack L/R cross-talk! Firstly it is much less ...

Hi All,Please! I truly do NOT want to sensationalize anything here, and I'm asking the sort of feed back that I'm now getting, so as to see if there is some reason to believe that the measurements do not tell the correct story. Dre_jmy Electronic ...

Thanks Glai,just the sort of feedback, type=good, I hoped for.Now,+++ The azimuth sweet zone is tiny and easy to jump thru. +++On a 3 point cart mount i.e. not flat-top mounting, and in a fixed Azimuth arm like a SME V, I come to think the ~ 2 deg...

Hi Dave,some dB correction. I just veryfied the 100Hz res. level. It was 2.5 times signal level. BUT that makes it ~ 7dB and NOT 12dB. Sorry, for this misstatement.It appears to fill in the upper bass 'floor bounce' related dip in that area of the...

Hi all,Dave, that res. ~ 100Hz showed a 'lift' of 2.25 times signal level compared to the rest of the measured band level. I would NOT think it is a faulty test record... And as I stated, it is not audible with normal listening. Why? I have no ide... 
Cartridge output question.
Hi Raul,+++ what do you think on the MM alternative? do you already experienced on the last six months? which cartridges models?+++Please check your MM thread for my response. I hope it's of some use :-)Axel 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,you asked:+++ what do you think on the MM alternative? do you already experienced on the last six months? which cartridges models? +++:-) I don't know if that is a leading question, but let me answer it frankly and as little stupidly as po...

:-) Wow Commcat,maybe there is no need to test a Ferrari either. Well, I guess we do know it's more fun to drive with correct wheel-alignment, handles the corners just a bit better. That said, would they ever agree that an incorrect aligned one ev...

Hi All,well, I'll keep you posted on this one. I’d love to know if some other folk could share some related example(s), good OR bad, just so as to learn something from it.You can tweak-align you sweet hind off, and NEVER come right if that happens...

Hi Al,THAT particular cart actually has no such an issue, as for example a 'Dorian' would have BIG TIME!But now we'd get close to a make disclosure, which I would not like to do at this point. I'm in touch with the manufacturer to see what they ha... 
cart measurement vs quoted spec
Hi Al,It is an MC as I surely stated, all of 3.5$ of it. We also measure it by switching channels, and stepping up and down the alignments parameters mentioned AND using an SUT just to see. NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL! There is a resonant peak ~ 12dB ---...

Dougdeaconafore we're all gonna ride real high on that one, a little supporting help for all those imperial/inch folks. 0.254mm or 2.5 tenth of a millimetre = 10 thousands of an inch! (I hope this will help some)I'd be little surprised if there ar...

The full name of the test record that was used is:"Ultimate Analog Test LP" by Analog Productions.AxelHi Dougdeacon,phew, now let ME tell you, that this particular main-line manufacturer considers that ~ 0.2 cantilever off-set within tolerance! ++... 
Cartridge output question.
Hi,let me add some to the above. The LO output carts (MCs), as Raul pointed out have a lesser internal resistance due to fewer windings --- BUT fewer windings in an MC ALSO means less coil weight to slug about (less inertia). Both will, all things...
