| MM to MC back to MM Jsman - I went from MC to MM and have decided to keep both. Although I am newer to MMs, I can say that I am glad I have gotten to experience them. I enjoy the strengths of each type of transducer. Since you have a phonostage that has a MM and an M... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Hi again Raul,In response to your 05-05-07 post, I do not have direct experience with simultaneous play of MM/MC cartridges on the same track. This is a nice feature to have and it would be interesting to hear a cartridge/stage combo in this manne... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Jsman - The output of the Dyna 20X may allow you to use either the MC or MM sections of your preamp. It would be interesting to see which phonostage you prefer.If you also use a JMW arm with your Scoutmaster, then take advantage of being able to c... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Jsman - So what MM and MC cartridges have you deciced to try? Do you plan on using the Rogue or something else? | |
| Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim? In agreement with what a few members have already suggested, there is no need to purchase a separate redbook-only CD player with your Meitner. Its redbook performance capability is quite good. It is an added plus that it also plays SACDs well. In ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Eljaro - No argument here when it comes to your ears, eyes (yes aesthetics matter) and your wallet being the ultimate judge of an audio component. I think this is well understood... but perhaps not well practiced (myself included) ;-)I am sure por... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Frankm1 - Psychicanimal's response beat me to it. Some of my recommendations would have included a few of the MM cartridges Rauliruegas mentions in his thread. The Grace F9E is superb and the EDR.9 is very good. This list is a moving target for me... | |
| is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade? Spend the $1.2k by purchasing (in no particular order of preference):- the SDS, if you do not yet have it- an effective platform (here are some example: at least 3" thick maple board, Neuance, Symposium, BDR The Shelf, etc.)- an effective record m... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Rauliruegas - I saw your last post before it was deleted. LetÂ’s try and discuss this topic without presenting something that can be interpreted as crossing over the controversial "advertisement" line. I think we can do it, yes?I admire all attempt... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Eldartford - I know of several phonostages that have a MM stage that is completely separate from the MC stage in a single chassis. As to the other approaches you suggest, the additional booster stage or the manner in which the gain is changed conc... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Raquel - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Perhaps you and others can assist me with a current dilemma. See here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1177856152&openflup&38&4#38Best regards! | |
| MM to MC back to MM Stefanl - I was referring to the voltage outputs of each cartridge @ 1Khz, 50 mm/sec. From the informative database, the Denon DL103 is a MC unit whose output ranges from 0.12 - 0.3 mV vs. 5.0 mV for the moving iron Ortofon VMS-20 E Mk II. I origi... | |
| MM to MC back to MM Jsman - Thanks for posting your questions. It highlighted this very important discission of determining if one can objectively evaluate a MM vs. a MC cartridge. Congratulations on your new TT purchase. I am glad you started a new thread to obtain ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players David12 - It is great to hear that you will compare phonostages in a similar manner. I will certainly look forward to the results. Perhaps I could be swayed to go on my first UK visit. On the other had you may want to consider SD as alternate loca... |
