| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes Dgarretson, thanks That is the problem. the 4 male pins on the P mount are too small for the standard female clip. I am assuming the female connection on the right side of the picture goes into the male pin? cheers | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Hi Sonofjim. Differences between the P3 and P10. Control, continousness and excecution in reporducing music. The P3 has the best bass control that I have heard from a table, in that it seems to be able to start and stop notes so fast it appears co... | |
| Why three motors? Gents, let me explain,this is a very compex response so read carefully. Thomas did something that was amazing. He listened to one motor, two motors, 3 motors, multiple belts and came up to the conclusion that 3 motors with one belt sounded better.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul I was trying to mount the Technics P100CMK4 onto my Graham Phantom last night with no luck. When you take the lead wire assembly off, the male pins are just too small to plug into the Phantom arm leads. Any ideas, howeever it may be imposs... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Hi Gents The difference between P3 & P3a is the slightly upgraded tonearm. The plinth/motor unit sound the same according to Pioneer technicians. as mentioned in vintage knob, the changes in s/n ratio was new measurements, not better table. as... | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom Tuboo, the only issue with that is the headshell is all ready thick on the phantom - adding another 2.5mm makes it difficult to find screws long enough. I have a carbon fibre spacer from Thomas at TW, however none of the screws are long enough - w... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Lew That is great news, but remember its not a contest,(we can leave that to the current tables) - but rather a celebration of 30+ year old tables that can literally compete with the best of the current production. Personally the industrial look o... | |
| Phono preamp selection Agree with jdolgin a s/h EAR 834P will be a hwole lot more musically satifying than the other units. It also has the ability to sound better as your system gets better. Roll in a couple of mullard tubes and your EAR steps it up a couple more notches. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Tuboo If you read what Fremer said and the need for the A90 to be at 92% for correct SRA, the arm needs to be slightly up and the back. | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Aoliviero I use this Kashimura transformer in the link. It is good for 300 watts for 120volts and 200 watts for 240 volts. This is the largest power rating stepdown until you get to those big heavy ugly step downs. I use one each for my P3 and P10... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Congrats Jwabrie The damping has a big bearing on the overall sound, so like T-bone said, experiment after you become familar with the sound. IMO the Exclusive P3 is as good as anything out there. I am sure you will enjoy it for many years. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Kew, is it the Mk3 or Mk4 from Japan?. I am sure either will be wonderful | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom Paul, that explains the difference. Smoffat and yourself have Phantom II's. I have mark1 and the left side of the headshell is symetrical with the right, hence their being a gap on both back ridges with mine. Nice thought re the SME mount. I hav... | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom " You now have me thinking that my SRA will be off - even level headshell the actual cartridge will be slightly back down. damm " Brain fade gents - Doh The back of cartridge will be slightly up - probably close to the 92% SRA that Fremer. | |
