| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Decca is very difficult to set up correctly and hypercritical on arm selection. Remember it has no compliance whatsoever, the diamond is mounted on the end of a verticle pipe that is tied back to prevent it pulling away when playing. Personall... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Never buy a record collection off a Decca user, you will find that most of their inner grooves are rooted. | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm But as I have pointed out other posts you can minimise cantliver flex in tangential air bearing arms by employing electromagnetic damping. I used a Shure V15Vmr on an ET2 for about 6 years and the cantilever is still as straight as a die. A small ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Why would you go to Ogura to buy a micro ridge diamond. The microridge profile is patented by Namiki Precision Jewel Company, and as far as I know Namiki still manufacture this. Namiki also used to make cantilevers and complete cartridges... | |
| 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 ... |
