| Phono/cart impedance help Hi,My advice would be to try the gain at 42db - 0000 in fig 1.This should be enough gain for MM and high output MC. If you find you have to turn the volume up too much then go to 0001 (47db) in fig 1.Once you have determined the optimum gain then ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Lewm/The Kong, I agree that some of the claims of flat response in room on this forum are doubtful where the listening room is small. I have even seen one claim on this site that a system using pair of Acoustats in a room not much bigger than a br... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Raul, your system has some interesting components. There are two glaring issues in my view -1. It is simply not possible to accommodate a true full range system in your small, over damped room without the room itself inducing significant distortio... | |
| Help Identify This Cartridge? Nandric, google Ortofon HMC10 images, you will indeed meet Clair Voyant. The clues are the Ortofon MC30 body shape, stylus guard shape.The top plate shape, colour of body (white) and chrome screw in side ( not gold ) strongly indicate HMC10 unless... | |

| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 LewmI do use the dynamic balance with my FR64S, largely because the Acutex cartridge is so light in weight that I cannot otherwise achieve VTF. I looked around for a heavier FR counter-wt, which would make it possible to balance the tonearm mecha... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond thucan/nandricA little patience is required. I am sure that in 23 years Raul will discover a rare second hand vintage MC cartridge known as the Palladian, that with rubber suspension suitably baked and cured in an equatorial environment, and a fin... | |
| Need help with DIN to RCA phono cable troubleshooting Atmasphere-I dont agree with your comment that my solution above is incorrect.Maybe you misunderstood what I wrote.The tone arm is in fact the ground (which is the ground wire in a single-ended system). So the arm wand provides a grounded shield t... | |
| Need help with DIN to RCA phono cable troubleshooting nandricDear Dover, Which method should be used to connect the XLRconnectors? Should the ground wire from pin 5 in the Din5 connectorbe split in two such that each can be soldered to the pin 1 on theXLR connectors? Or should only the (floating) sh... | |
| Need help with DIN to RCA phono cable troubleshooting Bass frequencies missing in action would suggest one channel may be out of phase.5th wire on DIN connector should earth the arm and be connected to chassis earth on phono or pre.If the 2 signal channel cables have a floating shield ( as in twisted... | |
| Periodic noise You might want to check whether your main power board has a smart meter that monitors power usage and transmits power usage info back to supplier at regular intervals.Alternatively the source could be from neighbours, there are so many sources for... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond richardkrebs12-05-2016 7:31pmIdeally the amplitude should be the same regardless of cartridge family. That statement is not correct.Why would you expect a low compliance low output 0.1mv mc cartridge with a tiny coil attached to the cantilever to ... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Chris,It is presumptuous of you to assume I ran the Platine Verdierwith the ball inserted. I trailed both.Really the essence of what I was saying is that the motor drive system is substandard. Furthermore the bearing tolerances are woeful and... |
