| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @atmasphere In earlier threads on audiogon, when I asked about your MM cartridges, I never seen any top models even from Grado, AT, Pickering, Stanton or Shure mentioned in your answers. After decades of reseach all the best MM cartridges were re... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Reading all these I want to remind that Ralph's experience with MM cartridges is very limited to certain mainstream models, I already asked about those models and never seen any serious MM in his list. There are some serious MC for sure. In my opi... | |
| Looking to upgrade a new cart to my TT Very nice, don't forget to post what you think about 17DX The best I tried in this series was 17D2 mkII, your DX must be better. | |
| Planning to sell my Micro DDX-1000, recommendations? Try US Audio Mart or UK Audio Mart if you want to sell your stuff. This is the best market place with NO sales tax for the sellers, FREE listing! I always use UK Audio Mart when I have to sell some for lowest possible prices, because they charge n... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge? If so, what cartridges do people recommend in the $500 - 1,500 price point that reproduce a natural sound with great clarity? Sorry, I missed that you already stated the price range. At lower side I'd recommend Victor X1IIe, at the higher side... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Makes sense, yet industry pushed the concept that MC was superior to MM, possibly the case for LOMC, 5 years ago I don't recall seeing the LOMC / HOMC terminology much spreaded, as I remember your posts were the first I found here advocating for... | |
| Looking to upgrade a new cart to my TT Ask your dealer about Dynavector exchange/upgrade program. Maybe you can ship the old one to them to get the next model you want? | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? You can’t if the album originally recorded and mastered in analog (mastertape or direct to disc). Pressing also very important. The best way to play those albums is analog way (not digital). You need a proper analog equipment (cartridge, tonearm, ... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge? @chakster yes, that’s the cartridge I have on the RP6. It was bundled from Upscale Audio. I had issues when it originally arrived as the connections to the cartridge were actually wrong.I do not. Is there a way to find out what it is for a newbie ... | |
| Looking to upgrade a new cart to my TT Get yourself a better Dynavector if your dealer can make a discount for you. | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry @luisma31 In the 70's/80's a HOMC cartridges were designed for use with MM phono input. Probably a buyer could save on expensive SUT (or MC phono stage) associated with LOMC (low output) but still keep using an MC (high output). Industry always tr... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge? This is your cartridge?Do you know your tonearm effective mass? | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry Some MM cartridge can be as high as 9mV :) | |
| Analog Upgrade - Phono Preamp or Cartridge? Definitely a cartridge, you need a cartridge from well know cartridge manufacturer, not from a turntable manufacturer. Try to find an MM with better stylus profile and you will get higher resolution for sure. Shibata or LineContact at least. Try t... | |
| I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo I have an older Concorde that’s black, I got it when I purchased my SL-1210MKII, which was used to DJ. Black one is Concorde PRO, it was also available in Silver. Both are old, original styli are conical (or elliptical). Using a better stylus fro... |
