| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Keep going, Syntax. I am looking forward to your professional findings. Dan | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Sorry for the typo:Should be *Change in Velocity(not %) = New Velocity divided by Old Velocity (i.e. X cm per second @ 1kHz)If the nominal/base output of a cart is 0.3mV(measuring at 5 cm/sec @1kHz), for example, we need the spec. of 3.54cm/sec fo... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S For quick reference on cart output, my estimation is as follows:Change in % of Velocity x Nominal/Base Output = 5/3.54 x 0.24 = 0.33898 or approx. 0.34mVDan | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S After searching "Jcarr" for a while, it seems not much of the relevant posts remain here in A'gon anymore. Or did I do anything wrong?Anyway, Doug, thanks a lot. Dan | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Hi, Doug, who? who? who's Jonathan Carr? What did he offer?Ok, let me search by Google...I found these:A passed away British journalist? A teenage pop singer? A murderer in Wichita Massacre? Tons of Dr. Jon Carr? Just kidding...What did he say in ... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S My point is:the higher the velocity(i.e. spinning speed), the higher the output a cart will generate. Nominal output at 0.24mV(3.54 cm/sec @1kHz), the actual output may be approximately 0.34mV when measuring at 5 cm/sec @1kHz. Dan | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S If cart output is 0.24mV (3.54 cm/sec @1kHz), at 5.0cm/sec @1kHz, its output must be > 0.24mV. If cart output is 0.5mV (5.00 cm/sec @1kHz), at 3.54cm/sec@1kHz, its output must be < 0.5mV. Feeding with the same test signal, measuring the phon... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Agreed. Omega's nominal output at 0.24mV (3.54cm/sec) seems to be understated. To me, it is more like a typical 0.4mV to 0.5mV output MC cart. Right out of the box, mine was already "full of energy, lively", a typical Phil Spector's approach...hmm... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Great shot, thanks:) What arm is that? Syntax, the shiny gun-metal platters in your system are real charms to all vinylphiles! How's your new Omega-(X?)in your system? Now on Graham Phantom II?To play around with all your vinyl gears must be fun..... | |
| Loss of Highs Looking for low noise 12AX7?How about CV 4004 by Mullard, military grade, very low noise, long life, easy to find matched pairs and excellent for tube phono.More important, still reasonably priced when comparing to Siemens or Telefunken E83CC. Goo... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S Thanks, Clivet. I must stress that I just own ZYX Omega-S and heard Ortofon Windfeld for a short period of time in my system.If you believe Windfeld and A90 are similar designs, except the bodies, I would say that Windfeld seems striving harder fo... | |
| Airtight vs My Sonic Lab My listening experience of MSL Ultra EMinent Bc and Air Tight PC-1/PC-1 Supreme is also the opposite of Prcinka's, MSL more precise, transparent and AT more romatic, more emphasis on mid-low. Dan | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S In reply to inmate(John)'s further query on Omega and Ultra Eminent....In our country, MY Sonic Lab Ultra Eminent BC(M.S.L.'s top of the line) costs 40% more than ZYX Omega. In Japan, the list price of an Ultra costs 30% more in JPY. However, it i... | |
| Has anyone heard the Denon 103-SA? DL-103D profile as follows: MC type cartridge Output voltage : 0.25mV Frequency rang: 20 Hz to 65 kHz Internal impedance: 40 ohm Load resistance: more than 100 Ω Stylus shape: special oval Stylus pressure: 1.5 ± 0.2 g Compliance: 12 × 10-... | |
| Has anyone heard the Denon 103-SA? I wouldn't say to compare a used, old 103R with a newly broken-in 103SA is meaningless. But an old cart would be absolutely inferior in performance than its hay day when it is still young. Styli are subject to tear and wear? I believe so. But if u... |
