| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy EMT ( Germany ) started their excellent range of MC cartridges in the late 1950's early 60's. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Excel Sound ( OEM ), Sugano ( Koetsu ), Takeda San ( Miyabi ) all started producing excellent MC's in the 1960's. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy The way I experienced it in the US on the east coast, the Supex LOMC started the LOMC craze in the early to mid 70s. You obviously didn't run with the Ortofon crowd. Ortofon sold plenty of LOMC's in the US from the late 1940's onwards along wi... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Here we go again. That is mistaken. He doesn’t need an XLR cable at all for balanced operation in his system: cleeds 06-18-2025 at 09:54pm... you can use either the RCA or XLR connectors on the Teac PE 505’s inputs and get the same result. T... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! @elliottbnewcombjr I agree that most folk have anti-skating wrong - mostly too high. Look how many used cartridges have offset cantilevers - usually an indicator of anti-skate being out. However in your methodology ( which I think is wrong ), ... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? @audiocanada is it just a matter of finding a din to xlr tone arm cable? The answer to your question is yes. If the tonearm has a 5 pin DIN output all you should need would be a DIN to XLR phono cable. You can ignore all the other piffle ... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Back in the early 60s, 70s and up to the mid 80s, the primary source of music was Phono or Cassette tape A dedicated $10,000 phono stage wasn't even a thing back then. No. This is a myopic view of the world. Example - Final Audio released a d... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @markalarsen You changed my mind. After switching them back and forth on the same song, I settled on 1000 ohms. 47K seemed to have a slight sibilance. That's where I ended up. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy @dover your list of vintage standalone phonostage is very interesting. I will check them out one by one. @pani I only gave some examples, there are many more. But from your posts, with all due respect, you would be better off looking at recen... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Except for tubes, today's parts (discrete transistors, ICs, capacitors, resistors, inductors, diodes, etc) are simply superior to even the very best available 50 years ago. Not necessarily true. I have components using teflon insulation and ex... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion ChatGPT, others, and listening to the different settings, all point to 47k ohms. Set yours to your preference. I do not tell other people how to drink their whiskey. But you just did. ChatGPT, others, and listening to the different setting... | |

| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy They can exist in the same chassis, but the advantage of these being separate should be obvious. No it's not obvious. One could argue the opposite. Don't believe the all the marketing bs and hype. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy To be clear, there were separate high end phono stages in the 70's & 80's - just not in the magazines. There are audio companies outside of the US. Examples would be Analog Devices AD-E1 ( Japan, price 1.7million yen in the late 80's ), Burme... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy @mdalton Your post on active vs passive vs LCR RIAA equalisation is all well and good, but the Marantz 7 ( I have 2 - one modded, one original ) leaves the Leben phono ( which I've had in house ) in the dust. The Leben is very low resolution ( a... |
