| Krell KC-100 and KC-200 cartridges by Takeda. Any differences? I also own Mark Levinson MLC-1, which does have the aluminum cantilever and Ogura PA stylus. It has 0.24 mV output and 4 ohm internal impedance, very similar to the specs of the MCA. I have seen identical specs for the Cello and Red Rose models a... | |
| Turntable and Arm Combination in 5K range (maximum) Look for Reed 3p, it's available in '9.5 , '10.5 or '12 inch with various armtubes to match with your TeKaitora cartridge. This is one of the best tonearm on the market today, fully adjustable (azimuth and vta on the fly). | |
| Krell KC-100 and KC-200 cartridges by Takeda. Any differences? No Boron cantilever on Takeda cartridges i’m afraid :( Always his special aluminum as far as i knowThe stylus is different at least on one model and it’s called PH Semi Line Contact or "Special Elliptical" in the original manual: Specs of Miyabi M... | |
| SUT vs. Phono preamp I posted several times in other threads, that CURRENT-INJECTION type of the phono stage is something way different from conventional phono stages, headamps and SUTs. For low impedance MC cartridges (under 5 Ohm for example) current-injection metho... | |
| Have a U-Turn turntable with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Upgrade cartridge or turntable??? Technics SL1500C comes with Ortofon M2 Red and you can always replace the stylus when you have extra or you can sell it and buy a better cartridges. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive @edgewear i don’t have a golden ear to detect any difference in sound between gunmental and copper, but from my two Micro CU-180 only one sample can fit into by Luxman platter because of this +/- 0.2 mm tolerance in diameter between the samples (c... | |
| Tonearm for SH-B19 (BL-1010? Yes, fixed mounting hole, 222mm PS, 28mm hole. Fidelity-Research FR-64fxPS: 230mmMounting hole: 31mmSame for IKEDA IT-345 | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive @edgewear It's funny because on my original box from CU-180 i have a nice sticker on the right corner: "MICRO GOLD DISC CU-180" Like Voyager Golden Disc ?Look at two different samples of CU-180 On the right sample the grooves are deeper, both samp... | |
| Tonearm for SH-B19 (BL-1010? What you got there, fixed mounting hole ? What’s the PS distance ? This is the table, right ?Actually short version of Reed could fit, why not ?Fidelity-Research FR-64fx or Ikeda tonearms | |
| High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type? Also most of cheap aircores or in other words coreless coils are bass shy... @bukanova Very interesting comment, i blamed my phono stages because with all of them (high gain MC or MM+SUT), except just one phono stage with build-in SUTs, my Air Co... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive @ferrari275 I will add more from the open sources if you’re interested: Gunmetal, also known as Red Brass in the United States, is a type of Bronze — an alloy of Copper, Tin, and Zinc.GUNMETAL is a type of bronze — an alloy of copper, tin and zinc... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? @cakids You don’t need a local vendor, you need the AT’s distributor support so you can give your cartridge (when it’s worn) to the distributor of the Audio-Technica and he can ship it back to Japan. Audio-Technica do not repair cartridges, they d... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive @ferrari275 i think you’re quoting me, not neonknight :) But you’re right, the idea is sandwich of materials(to block EMI effect if there is any or that none existing noise from the bearing that every DD hater mentioning here), not just heavy plat... |
