| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A small comment with regards to an Aurum Classic upgraded with Boron cantilever, etc... vs the Virtuoso.I have no idea how the CA's are tuned, and whether they are tuned similarly, however...I have 3 Jico SAS styli, same manufacturer, 3 slightly d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Just saw the postings of the yet to ship Audio Technica AT150ANV (50th aniversary edition)http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/products/cartridge/at150anv.htmlUsing google translate:It is an AT150MLx with the following...350mH inductance (low)Para-Toro... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raulwith regards to microphonics on various AT bodies, there was a recent posting on AK where someone repaired their AT20 and posted photos...Seing it appart made me realise the potential in for potting.There is quite a bit of air in there... a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, you will recall that in my first attempt at a cantilever transfer.... I snapped that 15ss in two...After the ensuing tears, I decided to put aside the cantilever transplant concept... at least till I work up the courage (foolishness?) to tr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Delamostre1 - I am not familiar with the internals of the Y55F, but on the Y5F, I put as much Modelling Clay (plasticine) as I could fit in there, without blocking any air in/out or circulation - as the circuits still need to cool.I also braced th... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Well my experiments with resonance damping on arm & headshell have failed miserably...Not because it doesn't work, but because my current test track/measurement method has accuracy that is around +/- 0.25db....That results in variations of up ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,just realised I had not answered your note...My talk of 5 to 25Hz was simply stating the frequency range involved with the cantilever/arm resonance...The frequencies I noted using the N97xE-SAS were 8.8Hz on the mid mass JVC, and 10.8Hz w... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Pryso - yes interesting isn't it, Henry's comments amount to "this emperor has no clothes" :) | |
| Removable headshells 101 Timeltel ... TA?Also the use of wood as a damping/vibration modification material is interesting.I have some mpingo wood shims I had made up for the Revox (where cartridge mounting requires shims for adjustment)They are usually sold/advertised as ... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Thanks guys,I have been eyeing off some of the wooden HS's but have held off as they are a bit pricey....I have some experiments to do with damping the headshell join.... -replacing the washer with a bit of plasticine - which will mold itself into... | |
| Removable headshells 101 I don't know how I missed this thread!....Perhaps the fact that I was not (yet) focused on the headshell side of things.My switch back to the Revox yesterday highlighted a resonance at 300Hz that I had assumed (wrongly) was a property of the test ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi folks,Fleib - could not agree more about cantilever impact on the frequency response...My remote testing of Shure V15VMR-SAS (on Empirelvr's system) vs my own N97xE-SAS shows that the same cantilever structure and proportions can be tuned diffe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo363With regards to aesthetic perception.... the question remains whether we are attempting to reproduce the carefully structured aesthetic construct of the artist(s) - (including mastering engineer), or whether we individually try to create ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - Brimstone ... an archaic (alchemical?) term for sulphur.The expression hellfire and brimstone, refers particularly to the variety of preachers who try to inspire their listeners to do the "right" thing through fear of the fires and sulfu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thuchan can be our first hellfire and brimstone preacher....You focus on punishment..... takes all sorts I guess!!Plinko - strange that after talking about possible low compliance MM's the AT7V got missed!But perhaps people are assuming that you a... |
