| Grace Level ll I got interested in Grace MM carts about 20 years ago and bought some used ones (no needle), F9 and F8. By chance I found a seller in Australia that had worked in Japan, He bought some needles from the "last batch" produced some 10 years after Gra... | |
| Best phono stage for Lyra Etna SL cartridge? To get the best out of a very low impedance cartridge go for one of the phono stages that automatically adjusts. 1,2 ohm is not articulately low, but the voltage is. On the other hand they have a relatively high milli ampere output that just needs... | |
| Supex SDX-1100B mc cartridge I think You need to get a Supex SUT to get the full benefit of the 1,5 Ohm impedance. Denon DL 304 can be good, but DL-S1 is a lot better. I had mine retipped by VdH almost as good as his own. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. One of our cats jumped up on turntable and lashed out at the air-arm ruining My VdH EMT cartridge. I went digital (for a while).Today a new turntable and a riaa recomended by Fremer: Van den Hul "The Grail" that can compete with the very best. I g... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? In my opinion vintage Technics EPA 500 with optimized arm tubes and the magnetic damper are unbeatable if in good condition. Getting hard to find! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul!We are not talking a big difference between AT24 and AT15SS.I fully agree with Your conclusion, they are easy to live with. I use a Jasmine Audio LP-2SE that has been modified with a Obbligato Teflon-Tinfoil in the output (great improvem... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The AT15SS is definitely better than AT24&25. My turntable has been running for more than 30 hours with the 15 and I think it will not get much better. I kind of regret that I have bought a new Denon DL-S1, I find the AT15 almost on par with D... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am relieved that Rauliruegas has made the same conclusion as I have: the 24&25 are outstanding mm carts! I use a ADC magnesium headshell for the 24 getting almost the same sound. That means that the 25 sounds a little more dry in its present... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Does anyone have experience with Audio Technica AT 24&25?The construction is very special, laminated permalloy ring core, torodial wound and "string" suspension like most MC carts. I load with 100k and 120pF and they sound awesome. Dynamically... |
