| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 A subject dear to my heart, thank you @halcro for posting :)For me the differences were not big (iphone6+apple earbuds) and had to switch back and forth several times. The most prominent is the "LF breathng" at 15K. It adds a very nice foundation... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @halcro I’m waiting for Brian and John to comment. When I lowered the VTA a little bit, the squeak became less pronounced. To lower further I have to take the TT out of the plinth and work on the EMT930 tonearm rest...a pain :/Anyway, halcro not s... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @halcro - smart :)Here is an info I got form an experienced Decca user: "Clicking and clunking sound when stylus is lowered into or raised from the groove is, IMO, mainly associated with VTA/SRA settings. At some point of VTA/SRA adjustment, th... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges Thank you guys :) It's more of a "plum"-type of a sound. Very short. It comes through the speakers when I lower and rise the cart. I doubt the cart has any damage as it tracks the most demanding opera/orchestra tracks like a charm! Even dirty viny... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges Any feedback :) ? @halcro @noromance @howardalex | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges A question to LDR users: When lowering and rising the cart, it makes a short pronounced "nasal squeal". Do you also experience it? If so is it normal or is it suboptimal setup as some suggest?Thanks | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @noromance Indeed to keep the static to dynamic balance ratio the same, I've moved the counterweight a bit closer to the pillar. In any case, if there was a sound difference, it was v tiny. | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges Went through another fine tuning session with my DLR. Unfortunately at the moment my system is not where I live so I have access to it only every 2-3 weeks :( I keep beeing amazed by the cart.VTA - used a VTA block to check the cart top was parall... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @noromance Re R load, in my usual procedure, I first experiment with Dale RN60 and when I find the correct value I replace with a Z-foil (or actually Charctroft). Before placing I burn the resitors with a modulated pink noise for 3 days. Great res... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges PS Just got OK from John to use ultrasonic stylus cleaners. Very good! | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges @noromance Thanks! I have to learn properly how to set VTA by ear. It's a pain in my EMT setup but looks like I cannot avoid it. Is LDR very sensitive here? BTW confirmed with Brian that cart top should be parallel not the arm.My vinyls ale clea... | |
| Cartridge loading @antinn That article was modeling the mechanical resonances as an equivalent electrical circuit. I was trying to show that the mechanical resonances were more complex than I originally thought, and if the cartridge goes into physical resonance... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges I'm after my first date with LDR. It replaced a (modded) FR7f on my FR64s arm.Well...At some moment I've found myself standing and conducting together with Zubin Mehta leading Israelis...to my memory this has not happened to me before....;) Very d... | |
| Cartridge loading @antinn Fantastic source, thanks Antinn for sharing! But the cart model of Shure brothers analyzed there is *unloaded* (plus the current source is strangely drawn with series (??) instead of parallel source impedance). The R on the schematics is t... | |
| Cartridge loading @intactaudio Now, as the force against the groove wall lessensmomentarily,...Very much agree with that. EMF damping I’ve been talking about. Thanks for sharing Dave.@atmasphere Don’t really buy the RFI argumentation, sorry. Putting aside simple an... |
