| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dertonearm... Please do not limit your explanation for the success of some high mass arms with high compliance cartridge to PM's...We are here a forum discussing specifically MM cartridges many if not most of which are high compliance - and in an ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro,I don't think that is right....I think that the resonance is definitely an issue, and a good starting point in terms of enabling effective tracking.The better engineered the arm the more it will facilitate and enable configurations that ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,with regards to damping, the type of damping I am talking about is within the stylus mount - direct cantilever damping, as opposed to cartridge body damping...Which means that when you exchange styli on you AT440MLa to a beryllium ML tip ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for that link Timeltel...An excellent article - and valuable as much for its inherent content as for its references...I need to try to track down Hallgren's "RLT" parameter - I have been kludging this in my model, but if that reference lead... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,noted your comments about RIAA accuracy...This brings to mind the question of what is the RIAA encoding accuracy of the standard lathes used for cutting the masters?Not that there is justification for varying from the standard... and doing... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, you talked about analysing Square Waves in evaluating phono stages...What tools did you use for the analysis?Have you looked at similar analysis for cartridges?This is one of the ways of looking at both impulse response and phase respons... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi FolksHalcro in your postings about the AT7V and the ATN155LC you asked about the reason for the differences between styli and the concomittant need for loading adjustments....I've been thinking of writing a lot of this down.... an article for s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raulthanks for the responseI have a stylusless Z1, I believe the body may be compatible with X1 styli (not sure)I came across an X2 stylus going cheap so I picked it up.... now I need to find a cartridge to go with it.As an aside - Jico are mak... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Folks,A question and a request...1) has anyone listened to the classic Quad JVC cartridges - the X-1 and X-2 (and their baby brother the Z-1)?I have heard occasional mention of these as top cartridges but they appear to be sleepers.These seem t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am at the point now where I can relatively quickly put together a good estimate of a stylus' mechanical resonance.My conclusion is that a huge % if differences are down to this single parameter.I have been unable to get a response from any canti... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? P.S. additionally and as an aside - I will shortly be testing the following Styli as well:ATN15ss (Beryllium)ATN152LP (Beryllium)It will be interesting to see what happens with these... the cartridges for which these were intended are mid inductan... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi fleib/Neonot offended by any means...I measured the 1000e with SAS N97xE mounted (I also tested it on an Me105p and Me75p).I measured it varying the resistance -10k/22k/46k/82k/100k ohm and the capacitance 60pf/250pf/420pf/535pf.The electrical ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I particularly like the idea of a self designed cartridge.I have been disappointed somewhat by the SAS stylus - when I found the mechanical resonance to be within the audible HF range (13-17k Hz). (this being for a SAS M97xE stylus)The ori... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi RaulI considered organising a calibrated Mic, and doing the whole end to end thing...But room EQ is a whole different beast - and the associated psycho acoustics are critical. (so reflections delayed by a certain amount of time will not affect ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raulthank you for your response.Let me first say that from a pure listening (the ears rule) perspective, my vintage Quad ESL57's fed from my Quad303's are among the sweetest speakers I have ever heard.They do not extend far up or down - but the... |
