| Cartridge Recommendations Here is an Excel Sound factory tour, this is the actual manufacturer of Hanna, watch it and then think if you need such cartridge. There are so many things looks very strange in this video, just sayin' | |
| How does a solid Tec 1200 MK2 stand up these days? ThanksIn my opinion serious cartridge is the most important and full rewire of the deck. The mat is also a must have since the stock mat is rubber. SAEC SS-300 is the best mat money can buy and a perfect fit for Technics. Regarding the arm it is a... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations I will try to listen to the Hana. I'm not sure about vintage cartridges, so chakster is there a new AudioTechnica that you would recommend. Hanna is made by Excel Sound Corporation, they made so many cartridges in the 70's/80's for other Americ... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience Never seen KSW SUT in real life, but it’s 28.5dB / 16 Ohm, type ETR-KSW according to specs. | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience Miyajima Kansui has arrived today from Denmark, i am excited about it. Beautiful African Blackwood body, the velvet box is so cute and small. Tips from the manufacturer:250 Ohm loading with MC phono preamp is recommendedor SUT with 16 Ohm and high... | |
| Left/right channel imbalance It is probably cartridge calibration at the factory, the best cartridges are selected for a proper channel balance between L and R. Some cheaper cartridges have imbalance by default and the best way is to have a preamp with separate L and R volume... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Try Victor X-1IIe with Titanium Pipe Cantilever on your turntable.Audio-Technica AT-ML150 OCC (with Beryllim cantilever and Gold-Plated MicroLine tip) is another great option. Both carts are MM and both are mid compliance. Exactly in your price ra... | |
| How does a solid Tec 1200 MK2 stand up these days? If you like it and willing to use it then all you need is to rewire your mk2 with something like Cardas or Discovery wire for tonearm (internally), will cost you about $30-50. Something like Zu Audio Mission Phono RCA from ebay promos (directly fr... | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck So based on that info, is it fair to say that most medium and low compliance carts would be a decent fit? This is a great article about tonearm/cartridge resonance frequency and how to calculate it for any arm and any cartridge. As you can see th... | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck @displaynameThe UltraDeck Tonearm Effective Mass is 25.14g. So this is a high mass for such a short arm, for example even my modern Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo is only 18g mass. The compliance of our cartridges at 100Hz is available;Then dynamic complian... | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck To answer your question someone should CALL to MoFi tech support to make sure about tonearm effective mass. If you don't know the exact mass then you can't choose any cartridge for this arm. Two question for MoFi below: 1) What is MoFi tonearm eff... | |
| Listening to music matters Freddie Hubbard thought my woof was going to blow? Just buy the original LPs instead :) | |
| Is the MoFI UltraDeck wit the MasterTracker cart the best TT solution @ $2,499? @mulveling modern arm with 35g effective mass is something very strange, but if you will look at the MoFi MM cartridges specs you will see that compliance is from 8cu to 10cu for all of them, depends on the model. So these guys made some very stra... | |
| MoFi Ultradeck or Technics 1200GR The Technics is flashy looking but it's platter is more likely to ring and the many cavities in it's plinth may resonate and ring also. It has a heavy tonearm which will be limited ti lower compliance cartridges whereas the MoFi arm is light and... | |
| AT OC9 XEB? @tablejockey i'm pretty sure on MM/MI territory you can find a better cheap cartridge, especially on vintage MM/MI territory. If you can double your budget you will probably find a better alternative to your ART9, that can be not just back up but ... |
