| Fidelity Research cartridges ohh, i seenot sure why we discuss benz in Fidelity Research thread ? Completely different cartridge! Yes i do believe in the compliance figure given @100Hz It will be about 11 cu @ 10Hz which is pretty low compliance | |
| Has anyone heard the new Audio Technica AT-OC9X series of cartridges? The pinnacle of AT-OC9X series was limited edition ART 2000 released 19 years ago on millenium. Great cartridge! It was made ONLY for Japanese market. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges @bukanona if tonearm is FR64 S version FR-7f will be better match.in case of FR 64 fx both are good match. What do you mean? Could you explain in details why do you think one FR tonearm is better for certain FR-7 series cartridge than another ?Fo... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus How about different RIAA curve for the old records from the 40's, early 50's ? Different record lables at that time used different RIAA curve. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus @goofyfoot Actually chakster, you're reiterating the dilemma. The post is about finding a stylus that works optimally with both 1940's /50's mono and mono reissues. The fact that a conical stylus is suited for early mono records is something tha... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus 1) 850-1000 out of a high quality nude conical. 2) 2,000-2,500 hours out of a high quality line contact or microridge. This is overestimated so much in my opinion, especially for nude high quality conical. in my vision it is more or less like tha... | |
| Turntable newbie info site? Nice! Welcome to the Technics club. If you want something special look for vintage MM like the Audio-Technica AT-ML150 (Beryllium cantilever, MicroLine diamond) or Victor X-1IIe (Titanium cantilever and Elliptical tip). Both are excellent cartridg... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? The infinite loading surprised me. For the Herron, I had 220 and 470ohm plugs made for my cartridge as this is what the Gold Note offered and sounded good when using. I initially tried the plugs with the Herron and it sounded excellent. When I r... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Sony PUA-7 method is not StevensonTechnics method is also not Stevenson but very closeTemplate is very helpful because the user must drill not only a big hole for tonearm shaft, but also an additional small hole for armbase to prevent rotation of ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? I urge you guys to read an elementary book on audio electronics. You might thereby learn to understand why a preamp (for one example) exhibits disappointing bass response compared to another. In this case, it might simply be a matter of the valu... | |
| Turntable newbie info site? Good choice @ymc226 , especially the "G" model. Your Mac has an MM phono input, so this is a good starting point, you can use some decent MM/MI cartridge and you don’t need an external phono stage, indeed. You can even add SUT (Step Up Trans) if y... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus The topic is MONO REISSUES btw, so we expect stereo cutter head. Anyway stereo and mono grooves are different, but it does not change the fact that Conical/Spherical stylus has the shortest life span even compared to Elliptical, no matter on which... | |
| Turntable newbie info site? You’re already on the best site ever to read and learn almost everything about it. But if you would like to save your time just buy brand new Technics SL1200G or 50% cheaper GR, ask here for a cartridge and phono stage then. This new Technics is p... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not @best-groove we can try, i have to find my scanner first to make sure it works. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? @uberwaltz It is not about right or wrong and i am not advocate of Gold Note here, in fact you guys promoted it for 2 years. I feel the lack of bass with this phono stage, sadly. Just curious how many phono stages we have to buy. I bought two, bu... |
