| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? DLAloum - Yes generators are of the same lineage from Mori. Sony XL-MC7, which became Carnegie 1 ( bodies the same ), then Mori colluded with Lubachek ( Benz ) and van den hul to produce Madrigal Carnegie 2, ven den hul MC1 and derivatives and Ben... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Haruo Takeda = Miyabi = Cello MLC1 = Krell KC100. Ironical that Krell should copy Levinson, when Agostino would not supply any dealer who stocked Levinson.Yoshihisa Mori = Sony XL88 = Madrigal/Carnegie 1 & 2 = Benz ( various ) = Van den Hul MC... | |
| SME V : what to expect ? Or get rid of the anti cables - anti cables = rolled off tops, soggy bottom. | |
| Mc cartridge and phono amp Personally I dont think your turntable is up to a good MC, you would be better to put all the money into a good phono stage that will last several upgrades, and do the TT later. If you must upgrade your cartridge I think you would be better off wi... | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? All skin and bones and no meat, which is pretty much what you get when the antiskate is out. I use female opera singers for checking anti skate, I have a couple of records that wont track if its out. | |
| Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud Isn't it funny how you have to pay to fix a known fault in a product.Of course if it was a car you would just paint a big lemon on the doors and bonnet, drive around in a gorilla suit and get the local TV company to feature it on the news - hey pr... | |
| Help me pick a great phono cable One of the best ways to improve your phono cable is to keep it as short as possible. Given that your TT phono sockets and phono inputs on the MacIntosh are right next to each other check if a 1/2 metre interconnect or less will be enough.It appear... | |
| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? Agree with the toilet roll solution, the natural unbleached sounding very open in the midrange, with a natural bottom end.Seriously though lifting speaker cables off the floor does give a subtle benefit, you can try anything - toilet rolls, kids w... | |
| Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing Please beware Teflon based oils and greases - the Teflon particles can embed themselves into the surface of the metal bearings, then metal particles embed themselves into the Teflon, resulting in INCREASED bearing wear.Personally I never use teflo... | |
| SME V : what to expect ? Agree with Peterayer. I've had SME V on Sota Star ( vacuum ) and sounded great.Cartridges used were Koetsu Rosewood, Black, Madrigal Carnegie and van den hul grasshopper. Other arms compared with at the time were ET2, Syrinx PU3, Alphason, Sumiko ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm/Almarg, on the Marantz 7 circuit, it has a 1meg resistor/100pf cap ON the tube across grid/cathode and a 47k resistor/150pf cap paralelled at the input. I have read that the loading resistor should be on the tube to minimise parasitic issues ... | |
| Which cartridge do you use with the vpi classic? Amyone that sticks a $5k cartridge on a $2k deck with an average arm needs their head read or their ears cleaned out.. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If you go back to Japanese vintage gear from the 60's-70's from whence many of these MM's came, you will find that 33k,47k & 100k are common front panel loading options, and I have also seen 80k. Interestingly there are benefits here for some ... | |
| SME V : what to expect ? Having owned both the SME V and ET2, as well as the Gyrodec and Oracle, I can concur with Frogman 100%.The SME V is a great arm on a deck that suits it, eg Sota/SME V. It was a complete disaster for example on the Linn Sondek when it was 1st relea... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Although I prefer analogue by a long way, I agree with Mapman, it is going to come down to the quality of the implementation. To me the biggest issue for analogue is the inability for most people to set a turntable up correctly. I can listen to si... |
