| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,I say, your search for audio truth starts to sound like Karl Popper :-)So a 40 year old integrated plastic head-shell MM had more 'thruthlikeness' then the current goodies, including 10k - 13k MCs... it is something to behold.The cart industr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well Lewm,since I find the exact same words for it all as Raul did, (of course I do not manufacture any Hi-end equipment as such) you may add a pair of Burmester 961 to your enquiry, if we’d stick with speakers. Following add the X350.5 Pass and M... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I will back you up with EVERY word you said as it reflects my own experience --- and you will know we have come some way in this matter.Also, I think the wrong direction has already been taken by some new MM designs --- thankfully not my... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dgob,you may well be right. However, that's what it says on my cart box "S1000ZE/X-ERD". It incidentally includes one extra stylus. Just now checking into the manual it does not have the "S" in front, neither the "-ERD".Go figure :-)Axel | |
| xlr vs rca Hi Herman,I like your précis, it's about as much to the point as it will get, but let me add one small item I been missing going through the thread.The 'common mode rejection' also has the effect of favouring odd-order harmonics and cancelling eve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,re: 1000GT on eBay. I have some difficulty to understand this sellers story... In any case, it seems after your enquiry those 'pump-up bids' have been cancelled --- but I can almost tell you what's next: they'll be back just before closing ti... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,this Empire 1000GT item is by the same dude that is bidding up his own stuff!! Screw this. He bid it up last time and now he is trying selling it again for some nutty price jumping from 20$ to 200$ and then 225$ every couple of minutes w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dean_man,re.: that wedge washer... For all I know it was provided to allow for more VTA adjustment range of various arm/platter combinations.In my case I can tell, the S1000ZE/X is as close as it gets to the construction parameters of e.g. my O... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi ALL,as Raul mentions: [without headshell wires]...the connection is more direct and in " theory " less signal degradation that with a so low level signal is something important to care about.ABSOLUTELY, different headshell wires sound VERY diff... | |
| MC Load Resistance You guys are getting interesting and funny too. Well, thank you for sharing some of this empowerment.Messing with MCs problems, as messing with any on-going problem has a 'pay-off', otherwise no-one would bother. As long as it is fun and entertain... | |
| MC Load Resistance Lewm,+++ ... Axel, are you saying that you now like a 47-ohm resistor on the primary side of your SUT? I presume you also have a 47K-ohm resistor on the secondary side. Is this correct? +++ No! please see below.A 30dB SUT (1:31.6 ratio) has a "nat... | |
| MC Load Resistance Lewm,you are quite right when you state: ...this suggests that the inductance has a negligible effect on the cartridge's internal impedance at low frequencies and only a modest effect at the top-most frequencies,...Knowing this will tell, that in ... | |
| Bent Cant, Can't get azimuth right. Does it matter Hi Tketcham,I do agree completely. I had a case of a 'misaligned' cantilever, and the manufacturer conceded that the cart has an "VTA error" (I was riding VERY low from the onset). BUT as you pointed out, this also had a very detrimental effect on... | |
| MC Load Resistance Hi,looks like we are back with the SUT business...Let ME state categorically that the Dertonarm IS RIGHT with regards to a LOMC (>=0.3mV) producing more 'natural' sound with a correctly matched SUT.Even with a pretty modern design cart like an ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul:+++ How do you go with the 100K subject in your PS +++Right now I don't... also I think that the V15 III with SAS would be the wrong item to use with 100k because it has already so much HF energy - YMMV.I first need the SME spacer to fig... |
