| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Integrated headshells - storm in a teacup.Advantages - eliminates one mechanical connection if using a detachable headshell tonearm.Disadvantages - can only align correctly if you are using the intended matching tonearm and alignment preferences. ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for JRDG Model 6 + BPS-6 Friend of mine had some Model 6's with BPS, Synergy II, Meridian 800 CD, ran them with Tannoy 15" GRF's, effortless, smooth, detailed and superbly musical.Try some Canterbury's if they are in your range. | |
| Cartridge Upgrade for Rega P-25 Table For $1350 plus your Rega P25 you should have enough to buy a VPI Classic - new TT and better arm or Scout II.Alternately the cheapest upgrade for the P25 would be Rega power supply and groovetracer bearing/platter which would yield significant imp... | |
| Tube Preamp Paired with Tube Phono Stage? Actusreus, As far as I know the input impedance of an amplifier will have ramifications in the first gain stage with regard to bandwidth, gain etc. Therefore the chosen input impedances provided by any particular phono stage may have as much to do... | |
| Worlds best DAC And further to the above, the other digital system which I can listen to uses a power amp similar in architecture to the Devialet D-Premier which is supposedly the first product to feature a new form of amplification called ADH® (Analogue/Digital ... | |
| Worlds best DAC Other than the non oversampling school such as Zanden, check out the Orpheus Heritage, built by Anagram Technologies, uses their most advanced chip sets which are not available to any other manufacturers.Unfortunately no digital will ever sound an... | |
| Tube Preamp Paired with Tube Phono Stage? My experience is as per Lewm's and Syntax. I run MC's into 47k tube preamp, Marantz 7 modded, which although it is only 60db TOTAL gain, can easily handle MC's 0.3mv up with no noise. I also had a Klyne 7 which seems to emulate tube pre's in that ... | |

| General comments on SOTA Whilst I agree that it is far better to have a rigid coupling between the motor and platter, on my old Sota Star Sapphire ( pre Cosmos ) I cured most of the speed stability by hacking into and regulating the DC PAPST motor, suggesting most of the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - On a more less contentious note I'll put forward an analogy to the MC/MM debate. Years ago I rewired my ET2 with Van den hul monocrstal silver wire. Everyone said it had more detail. I wasn't entirely comfortable, I perceived a pinched ef... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - wasn't having a go at your system, more the point that you cant generalise make substantive statements such as Lewm's above one way or the other. I have heard great sound from many types of cartridges - MI's ( Grado/Soundsmith ), MC's, St... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi all, I agree with Raul, in my experience there are situations where MM's are a better option. Firstly average mid priced MC's, eg Audio Technica OC9, often sound slewed, phasy and non linear, I have demonstrated to customers that a humble Sumik... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "I theorize that the sense of increased detail with LOMC cartridges is due to their lesser ability to re-create the harmonic envelope of a voice or instrument, compared to the best of the MM or MI types."Totally presumptuous ironically from a hars... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, now you might have a hint of what the Ikeda MC, which is Mr Ikeda's next generation cartriudge after the FR-7f, and has no cantilever, might sound like. I have owned 2 of them and believe me, if your arm/phono is up to it, and most aren't, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That last post is superfluous. Digital doesn't resolve anything. Digital is an approximation of a sine wave, nothing more. I think you are in the wrong post. |
