| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Dgob,May I know what exactly did Van Den Hul perform on your EPC-Pq00mk4? I have one too and wondering if I should also send it to VdH. How much did it cost and how long did it take? Is there a weblink to contact Vdh for this work?Rgds | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,How would you compare the AKG P100ES, one of your previous favourites to the Technics EPC-P100CmkIV, the Acutex LPM315III-STR and the Azden YMP50VL? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? To Raul and others who use removable headshells,I noticed that on some removable hedshells (like the Belldream that Raul recommends), they have a rubber wasjer between the headshell connector and the tonearm pipe. Do you find that removing this is... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Downunder,So between the Stevenson and Loefgren alignemnet protractors, which do you orefer for your P3 and the Phantom. I had Yip make me a Stevenson and a Bearwald for my Micro Seiki Max282 but have not had a chance yet to try and determine t... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Dertonarm,Thanks for details. Will try to see if I can snag the Dennesen protractor.Oilmanmojo,I too would think that a linear tracker would put more pressure on stylus and thus cause some cantilever deflection. NOt aving any experience with linea... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Dertonarm,The post says that you suggest using a mounting distance of 231.5mm for the FR64s instead of 230mm. What is the overhang then for this mounting distance? Is it still 15mm? And may I know what is the optimized geometry for the FR64s - Bea... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Hi Lewm,How deos the Kenwood L-07D comapre to your Denon DP80 and Technics SP10MkII. These 3 direct drive turntables compete clsoely with each other and you are one of the few who can compare them in the same system. So, very interested to hear yo... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Raul,Not sure if this is already covered but what capacitance loading are you using for the EPC-P100CMk4? I assume that resisitance loading is at 100Kohm?Rgds | |
| Has anyone heard the Denon 103-SA? I have a used Denon DL-103D, the one with the white ceramic body. Bought if off eBay years ago. But I never tried it because the stylus tip seems very small under microscope and I could not tell if its worn out. Can anyone shed light on the 103D s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,I got one of the EPC-P100CMkIV from the same link. Thanks again to Royj. Not sure if its one of the last two. Have not tried it yet! I also have the Andante P-76, B&O MMC1 and Azden YM-P50VL also waiting to be tested. Basically I am ... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Raul,Would there be enough gain in a 40dB MM phono stage (like youe Essential 3160) to handle the EPC-P100CmkIV's 1.2mv output? Or do you run the cartridge into a MC phono stage with 54dB gain? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, RoyJ,I have used Arc Protrctors like those suggested by Thom and they do make an improvement over my 2 point Dr Freikert protractor (which is also more expensive and one of the best 2 pt protractors out there). I use the arc protractor made ... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges T_Bone and Dertorm, Thanks for your inputs. Guess I will continue my search for a FR7F or FR702. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges Hi,Does anyone have any knowledge of the Fidelity Research MCX-5 cartridge. There is a seller of this cartridge and he claims that this is similar to the FR7 but without the integrated headshell. Can anyone shed some light on this subject??Rgds | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Where would one get the mounting adaptor for the Azden YM-P50L since it is not a standard P-mount?Rgds |
