| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo363 - I couldn't disagree with you more on multimiking. Most of my classical music section is from the 50's/60's. My view is multimiking destroyed sense of reality, imaging and resolution because - firstly in the real world we only have 2 ea... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - one other suggestion to check out. On the Platine Verdier you can put a steel or ceramic ball bearing into a cavity on top of the bearing axis. The bearing can be adjusted so that just a little weight, not more than a few hundred grams is h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 3D or not to be...What a load of codswallop. Last time I was in San Francisco Amanda McBroom sang for me without a mike in one of the hotels private reception rooms. I could close my eyes and tell you that she was standing about 10ft out from the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - I'm pretty sure that the original Garrot P77 contains many internal mods/tweaks compared to the A&R cartridge it was based on. So if you have one of the originals - do not throw the guts away. It was always much more lively than the e... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - to answer your question, I have had the SME V and can tell you the 3012 is not even close. The 3012 has an old fashioned charm, read coloured, to the sound and lacks resolution. The SME V has a very organic sound, its a big sound. Some peop... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - the SME has double knife edge bearings, that is the arm just sits on a knife edge ( but with 2 lines of contact ). A low compliance cartridge or cartridge that puts a lot of energy into the arm can "rattle" the arm in the bearings which lea... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - if it were me, I'd look at updating the tonearm first. I own a 3012 and it is really of collectors interest only. If you want more detail start with the tonearm. If you can afford a Graham Phantom or similar performance even at the cost of ... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Halcro - the Eureka moments are gone in a blink of an eyelid. Just enjoy the fact that you know they are there.I think Mapman has a potentially lucrative business - "My wife goes nuts trying to figure out where the music is coming from at any give... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Henry, this reminds me of an experience with the Cello Pallette equaliser, where in the hands on a record producer it was a very good tool for poorly mixed records and did give more insight and enjoyment from the music.I would have thought that if... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - the cartridge in the picture may be a Dynavector Nova 17D, not the 13D. I dug out my correspondence with Dynavector. The cartridges look identical. If the serial number is in the format X### then it is a 17D. My 13D is ##, ie 45.Now the spe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Raul, re Dynavector Nova 13DThis cartridge was initially purchased/used many yrs ago, the sytem was at the time Final Audio Parthenon turntable/Dynavector 501/NYAL NCP II preamp with HTMPS tube regulated power supply and NYAL OTL1 monobloc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Raul - Dynavector Nova 13D fyihttp://www.hifido.co.jp/KWdynavector+karat+nova/G1/E/0-50/C11-60830-14311-00/My one is serial number 45, not sure how many made, but there was a "reissue" in the form of a Nova 17D with metal body a few years ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Albert - no that sounds fine. The engineers modus operandi is that he overbuilds everything, which is great. I have heard the SP10 mk3 but unfortunately in a system, which although I have followed the evolution, I don't know what is doing what.... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Albert, I know the engineer well who designed the mods for the SP10mk3. Will be very interested to see your feedback. One point to consider, you may be better to get the bearing mod and review the impact before the electronics mods, or you will be... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Henry - for the arms you use that have detachable headshells, surely if you use a headshell that has slots, hence the ability to alter the overhang and alignment, then you can set each cartridge up and the only changeover issues would be tracking ... |
