| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. HI Dcarol Interested with your comparison with the ARC ref2. I have heard the Ref2 at home at it is extremely transparent and detailed, it certainly did not have a duvet blanket over the performance. Any more detailed and open, it may have ended ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, At least you are admitting you are altering/ equalising the frequency response of most of your MM's from the manufacturer specs to better suit your system and musical tastes. All perfectly valid, but certainly not consistent with your " fla... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Loading a MM cartridge at 100k or anything higher than 47k, when ther manufacturer specifies 47k, Is that classed as using you own equalisation to hide faults in the MM cartridge,your system or to get it to sound more MC like in upper frequency e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stiltskin, while I certainly enjoy your down-to-earth version of the english language, which apparently matches the level of your systems sound quality, I didn't meant the phrase "cartridge of the month" in any way negative. Well, that has got to... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, I would luv to get a Urushi. I feel it would be a great match with the P3. But which one ? My Rosewood is very nice, yet lacks a bit of extension and refinement. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm. You prefer the Colibri to the Azden ? Must be your crappy tube gear, or your tonearm or ?? Or could it be possible that the Colibri is the better cartridge in your system regardless. Don't worry, I suffer from the same dillusions, but maybe ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven AC3 latest version vs older I have the current AC controller version you mentioned. I have tried the Black Knight battery controller and in my system I preferred the AC version. yes, the black Knight controller is blacker/quieter and a little smoother in the upper frequencie... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Interesting point. I myself have been wondering whether there was a correlation between solid state electronics and favorable impressions of MM/MI cartridges vs MC ones, and vice-versa for tubes Lew, Its taken this long for you to realise there is... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think the success of these seeming anomalies of tonearm/cartridge matching simply show us that the data (for compliance and tonearm effective mass) we are given to plug into the equation are crap. Garbage in; garbage out. Or we just like that p... | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? Agree with Audiofell.Used Pass Xono | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions After my message, I changed the pivot to spindle distance from 311mm to 314mm for my SPU Royal. So effective length is now 329mm. On my SPU, I prefer the sound of the 329mm effective length. Sounds more pure and clearer. I am not going back to the... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions I have the AS309-S and I had the same questions. Ortofon were happy to give an explanation - see below. I ended up using the alignment gauge that came with the tonearm, as it was a bit difficult to get Mint to make one. Now that I have re-read thi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? {quote}This confirm, at least, that in the AT23 and 24 the model number comes engraved.{quote} Am I blind what model number comes engraved on the stylus? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? RE AT25 stylus I have had a look at the stylus. I cannot see any markings on the stylus. I am not going to remove it from the headshell now to have a look. Superficially it looks similar to the needledepot. That being it has the white goo that is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? RE AT24/25 stylus. It came in an official AT24/25 box. I did not look at the actual stylus to see any specific markings, however the potted hole in front of the screw is white compared with black on my original AT25. Then again, I bought it s/h so... |
