| Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron Do you know if the SME3009R is a rigid or compliant arm? The cartridge you buy, whether it be MM or MC, must match the compliance of the arm. A compliant cartridge fits with a stiff arm and vice versa. The arm does not have a compliance, it has a... | |
| Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron There are some excellent MM cartridges out there but I feel comfortable in saying that the vast majority prefer MC cartridges because we have made the subjective assessment that they sound better. @mijostyn If they are better than why this thread ... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge vs.Pro-Ject - Debut Carbon Esprit S I’m going to seriously look into this! I’ll probably go to a high end stereophile store to audition TT’s. Yes, just try it in the shops if they have demo, touch it, press play/stop, put the needle on the record, feel the tonearm ... You will u... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge vs.Pro-Ject - Debut Carbon Esprit S Good question rp! @klimt I recommend it for people with budget limit at $2000, for those who need brand new and complete system. The GR is $1700 and there is nothing new that can beat it at this price (imo). Personally i prefer vintage Direct Dr... | |

| Upgrade phono stage? What's your cartridge? | |
| best phono stage under 10k American gear for Americans ? Why always Herron ? Claiming that Herron is the best under $10k without recall its contenders is nonsense, it would be fair to mention some other phono stages compared to Herron by its user. | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? Any mid compliance cartridge is compatible if the weight of the cartridge itself is not exceeded (you can check the manual of your arm for cartridge weight range). New cartridge is not better than those (New Old Stock) vintage cartridges from the ... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? If you're looking for brand new then: Garrott P77ior maybe some Moving Iron: SoundSmith and Grado | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? -It must be MM or MI cartridge, because you don’t have an appropriate MC phono stage or SUT or Headamp for use with LOMC (Low Output MC). -It must be a cartridge with the most advanced stylus profile if you want deep bass and extended highs that y... | |
| Manley Chinook with (very) low output MC ZYX? This is the manufacturer of Vishay resistors:Texas Components on ebay, i bought from them many times | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? Just to remind you guys that Ortofon 2M is pre-installed by Pro-Ject on nearly all their turntables/tonearms, so if their arm does not have VTA then a cartridge chosen by manufacturer must be perfect match even without VTA adjustment. User can onl... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? In my opinion when people compare analog to digital they are often missing frequency extension and clarity, this is clearly cartridge responsibility and stylus profile is the most important along with the cantilever. It is more complicated, but in... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason? Maybe because it's entry level cartridge ? Don't forget about pressing quality of each vinyl, they are all different | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @jeraldej I just went through this entire thread. Originally, my search began to find examples of cartridges that work well with the Reed 2A Cocobolo 12" that I have mounted on my Luxman PD-444. Very interesting, did you mount it on original Lu... |
