| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Well I've just ordered an LDR motivated by Halcro's videos. Let's see what I get. BTW, @Halcro it was not a warranty repair after only a few weeks of use? | |
| Cartridge loading @intactaudio As I said in proper design it is obviously possible to reach a neutral balance and this is what we all do adjusting the load. Is the article available online?In general, there are dozens of situations where a wise pre-loading lineariz... | |
| Cartridge loading But damping of the mechanism (cantilever and suspension) is a different matter, and its pretty safe to conclude that if it is damped, high frequencies will be attenuated. Ok, so if by tracking problems at HF you mean attenuated HF then I agree. B... | |
| Cartridge loading But the inductance of a low output moving coil is so low that resistive damping has little effect, as in a nutshell the inductor does not ring at audio frequencies or anywhere near them But what I meant is the mechanical damping of the stylus,... | |
| Cartridge loading Dear @atmasphere please treat all my writings as a friendly argument in a search for the truth, so there is no need to apologize :) If you have to use loading to achieve proper sound, it is a flag that something could be amiss: Instability in th... | |
| Cartridge loading Since we have been in agreement all along on the first two bits, maybe its this last bit that is the stumbling block. I used to load MM cartridges to critical damping by simply ringing the cartridge/cable combination with a square wave and obs... | |
| Cartridge loading I think you might be over-thinking this.@atmasphere I doubt it, I'm quite ok with physics and I apply it to the situation.You got most of this right, right up until your conclusion. Think about a generator, one with no load and one with a load,... | |
| Cartridge loading "[Lowering the R_load]... of course will limit the ability of the cartridge to trace higher frequencies. "I fail to see it either, unless the below reasoning is wrong. I think of a simple cart model as a damped harmonic oscillator, excited by an e... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Hi Halcro,Thank you for your explanations. Contrary to you I feel quite ok with KorfAudio mesurement techniques. Impulse excitation is a completely standard method in vibroanalysis (the usual knuckle test is a simple version of it ;) That his resu... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Hi @halcro & thank you for the kind words and explanations :) It is interesting what you write about the Orsonic, here is a guy who measured a number of headshells and claims it is one of the most rigid:http://korfaudio.com/blog51While we are ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Fantastic thread @halcro ! Thank you v much for all your effort and sharin your experience, really invaluabe!DLR has been long on my radar and your findings only heat up my interest. I'd use it on my EMT 930 with silver wired FR64s and Orsonic AV... | |
| What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth? http://korfaudio.com/blog38 | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part If a machinist cannot recognize the thread within 20 seconds run away from him, he is no good! It’s not a rocket science, I extracted the arm from the alu threaded male collar, brought it to a machinist and have it redone in stainless steel with a... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning I just changed the filter from 1um to 0.5um. After some 20 Lp's first pre-cleaned with vac the old filter did have some particles left on it - like a very fine grayish sand plus a bit of yellow coloration. So the US does extract something vac did ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning @fleschler Have you tried vac re-cleaning/rinsing those Lp's with rolled off highs? |
