| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? "Bill, Not a good idea because of capacitance. Capacitance will cause a HF roll off probably before you notice a loss of gain." I agree, my idea was to test to see if a loss of gain helped by using a set of long cables if they are available. Th... | |
| Help me choose a phono pre Buy the best one you can afford. It will be with you thru multiple cartridges, probably stay with you as you upgrade your whole system. | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? I know this is kind of a crazy idea, but desperate times call for desperate measures and all that. What you need seems to me is a bit of line loss between the cartridge(s) and the phono stage. Do you have an extra long set of phono cables you co... | |

| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One lewm, My comment concerns the two companies and how they do business. | |

| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? Interesting, mine is one of the original type and it is clearly Winfeld. Anyway they are terrific. Case in point, back to the subject of this thread, when I compared mine to the original AT1000 it would have come in the lesser of those two in so... | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? Winfeld guys, not Windfield. A wonderful cartridge. | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? Dogberry, I believe you are operating under a false assumption although I can understand why. There are those of us in the colonies who totally understand and respect SME. I do not own an SME V. I do own other SME arms, but that was not my que... | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? Stringreen, The least you can do is get the name right. Ortofon Windfeld. I agree with you it is a very nice cartridge. One of the best. |
