| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom I am not sure how anyone could give advise to grind away an integral part of a cartridge, let alone a 4k cartridge. And Stanwal is a dealer - oh my god. Hi Smoffat. I have a Phantom and A90 and I know the problem you are experiencing. I also use t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, the Technics EPC-P100c Mk4 may well suk. But you will never know :-) ah ha ha ha! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, Congrats on the Technics EPC-P100c Mk4. Almost seems that us owners are rubbing salt into wounds when we gush about the excellent SQ given almost impossible to buy. What did VDH do to your Technics EPC-P100c Mk4? My cantilever is slightly of... | |
| Graham Phantom , simple tweak for improved sound Must admit I have never tightened the locking screw. Seems counter productive as the screw up/down VTA tower is hardly loose and never moves when adjusted. Good that it does make a positive difference thou - seems like i am not missing out on anyt... | |
| Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru Lew, I have the plain old vanilla Koetsu Rosewood, and I agree coupled with a DD table you seem to get the best of both worlds. The great tone of the Koetsu and the speed and control a well engineered DD table. cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hmmm I wonder if a RF/EMI/TI shield will make a positive difference with my Exclusive P3 & P10? I hear absolutely no RFI or anything at the moment 0- in fact the P3 is significantly quieter than my TW Raven AC-3 How thick are the sheets Lew? | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dert Should have known you would have jumped on that staement from Dgad :-) How was the Munich Show? anything that jumped out sound quality wise? | |
| Grand Prix Audio Monaco Turntable Aaron Time to hunt down one of the Nakamichi Dragon CT turntables which self centres of centre LP's. | |
| TW-Acustic Arm I would disagree Darren. My A90 sounded wonderful straight from the box and only got better. is there a new Titan i?. is it called the i2? | |
| TW-Acustic Arm That is interesting considering Thomas hated the sound of the A90 at RMAF. maybe a setup issue back then or the greatness of the TW arm ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, you well might be right re the Orto M20FL Super. I gave up with its sound on the P3 before spending a LOT of time adjusting the damping or trying another headshell. It probably would sound like butta if I put it onto my Raven, which is a litt... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Travis I agree entirely and you for one would understand given your great collection of Japanese audio treasures. There never has been one absolute best cartridge. It is impossible for anything to be best given all the variables with equipment,... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? While it is good and may seem logical to have your 8-9 prime demo cuts you always go to when evaluating a new component, it is also fraut with danger - "familiarity breeds contempt". We humans can have a tendancy with very familar material to all ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi headsnappin the empire 1080Lt is a good sounding cartridge and for the price it is excellent. Compared to say the Ortofon M20FL Super I find the 1080LT to have a better tonal evenness top to bottom and good transparency. the M20FL I have found ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF I am running a Phantom 1 and i am back to around 2.3 gms and just above parallel. the amount of damping in the Phantom has the biggest effect on the sound.cheers |
