| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 Mounted my XSV/5000 on Denon DA-401 few month ago and still shocked how good this Pickering cartridge really is. Simply amazing (100k Ohm loading on my JLTi mk4 phono stage). | |
| Should I replace Denon DL-103R with Dynavector DRT-XV1 mounted Yes, try a proper high-end cartridge instead of this oldschool broadcast Denon with Conical tip designed in the 60’s. Dynavector cartridges are amazing. | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 Probably wrong forum to ask about vintage vs. new. | |
| Azimuth "recording" Miyajima MONO for old 78 rpm | |
| All you vinyl lovers might find this interesting. Heads up it is long! nice | |
| Azimuth "recording" The azimuth for all but one of the cartridges (my mono) is fairly off when fastened to the arm in what I would consider the "straight" position. Once the azimuth is properly set the audio difference is very noticeable. If you have some problem wit... | |
| How would you prioirtize? Vicoustic supply their own glue for the panels.Some of them can be glued with liquid nails, some of them are not. I’m searching for the right glue which is safe for acoustic foam (on the back of the panels). Those panels may look like concrete, bu... | |
| All record weights the same ? Chak, are you sure it’s good advice to say categorically that 900g, about two pounds, is ok for any DD turntable? Especially when MS made it for their belt driven high end tables? Why do you thing they made it for Belt Drive turntables ? Micro ... | |
| How would you prioirtize? Before an amateur will buy random acoustic panels he must order acoustic analysis of his room. Some rooms are simply awful for sound, some are good. Mos of the cheap acoustic panels are useless. Instead of GIK you can order room analysis from Vico... | |
| compliance AKG cartridges as explained by our respected member Nandric is another cartridge notorious for suspension problem. AKG took it back from the dealers/retailers and even destroyed the whole bunch of cartridges because of this issue (and their reputa... | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. I tried the best conical from Denon and Ortofon, vintage and new, very well polished (nude). I'm talking about microgroove records, not antique mono. Definitely not a fan of conical tip... .7 or .5 it's still conical | |
| Magnetic levitation feet Another set from Yamamoto with review here | |
| Is this Cartridge Alignment good? There is a point for stylus tip, but your stylus is not there, the rest is irrelevant. Make sure the stylus tip (diamond) is exactly on point, then you can twist your cartridge. You did everything wrong. | |
| LP Gear Replacement Stylus for Ortofon Super OM20 Cartridge? I don't think original Ortofon is difficult to find, so why do you think about LP Gear ? Buy original ortofon stylus for your cartridge. | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. @vortrex I wouldn’t rule anything out because of the stylus profile. The new DaVa field coil cartridge is conical and by all accounts it’s in the upper echelon of the current crop of high dollar cartridges. Yeah, some designers like it. Comparing... |
