| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? One more for the road: I have ordered today a Nagaoka MP-50 from LP gear.I will give my feedback (all SS system) about how it compares to the M20FL, as soon as I receive it.I'm feeling like hanging a bit out of a bus, as it's price is pretty close... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm and All,>>> He [Axel] has been absent from this thread for a while.<<<Not really, McKillRoy is watching you :-) I just don't feel like adding non-relevant info to an already very long thread.>>> I think Axel also... | |
| Straightwire Virtuoso LS cable Thanks Pops,that is an interesting input, in view of so many LS cables with truly 'spaced out' prices -- i.e. rather questionable price / performance.Greetings,Axel | |
| Straightwire Virtuoso LS cable Nobody knows this one? Low-End zip cord, out of production or so?Sounds I just stick by my old "Waveguide 8" I guess.Only nitrogen filled Hyper High-End may apply for considerations :-)? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,you are so right about "fair price" I have my Ortofon M20FL Super back in the system and it is some cart of note. It also can pack some bass punch and then some.Interesting to note: I use A LOT of positive VTA (at least 3mm measured on the V ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Hi D.OK, now I do think we are on the same page as far as bass register goes.Here my point I was trying to make, and you confirmed some of this with your in-room measurement mentioning.Upper bass LOOKS A-OK on practically most frequency graphs ---... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II D.y.s.: >>> But the ceiling remains hanging too low....... no matter what you do. <<<Actually an interesting acoustic take allocating such to a TONEARM...It is for most acousticians a matter of room acoustics rather, which produc... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Guysyes, I'll go along with that 'signature' bit, as I'm sure you both had your fair amount of comparisons.Here my point: MOST of the latter day 'high-end' speakers tend, at least slightly, towards the lean side of things --- and so do my Burmeste... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II Hi,following this thread with its Brucknerian fortissimos and ~pianissimos, I find it interesting to read about the "darkness" of the SME V arm --- once again.It seems to underscore the point made by Downunder about 'arm / table synergies.Using ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray,well, does it (remove all doubt)...?I have just received an ATN-440ML/OCC stylus from William Thakker --- and it sure looks like the real item and *NOT* what is shown on the picture of the link provided by Raul.Firstly: is says *LP Gear* on th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dgob,hm, we Germans... seem too often in this 'class' (or lack of it) of our own. If I stepped on anyone’s toes please forgive me. It's all actually meant in good-will, --- even if it doesn't sometimes read that way.I myself have been sort of '... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,is anyone actually aware, that those compliance values are measured at 100Hz with all Japanese made carts, and at 10Hz for all European ones?To come to a comparable compliance from Japanese makes to European makes, a factor of 1.5 - 2 has to be... | |
| step up transformer for clearaudio Csr827,+++ How would i know the overload spec of my clearaudio phono stage?+++By looking up the spec. sheet, or if not in the spec. sheet asking the man that makes the stuff, no?Greetings,Axel | |
| step up transformer for clearaudio With the low setting of the Verto (24db) and the 0.8mV output of your cart, I dare say you are pushing the envelope by inputting ~ 12mV into your phono-pre.A ~normal overload spec for a 60db MC phono-pre is seldom >10mV, after which there would... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm currently listening to an AT-140LC and feel I would not want (once again) go back to my Windfeld MC.These AT-…s have some higher energy treble, very close to an MC but more integrated somehow.It must have to do with one’s rest of the system as... |
