| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? MM capacitance - again matches up with my listeninghttp://www.soundfountain.com/amb/ttcartridge.html " The capacitance of the input of the amplifier should more or less match the value of the cartridge.Of course a lot of scientific explanation can... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I don't believe you are correct re the phono capacitance. As Lewm has stated, the sound is supposed to get less bright as you add cap pf. I have pf adjustment on the remote control of my Mac MM phono stage and as you go up in pf the treble g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Axel. I assume you are talking about the 1080Lt?. I loaded cap per manual at 300pf and VTA just a little above level. If his or anyone's phono stage is loaded at 100pf or so, it may sound bright ? or maybe his system is bright ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Empire 1080LT, This is my best sounding MM cartridge of the week. Beck is sounding ever so sweet and tonally pleasing. Sounding better than the Ortofon M20FL Super, expecially with the refinement in the upper frequencies. How does this compare to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel MOQ sounds as good an explantion as any on the weekly best MM cart in the world syndrome. I am guessing since we can't afford to spend 4K plus on expensive MC carts every month, spending a few hundred is a good way to get a hit of MOQ :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? hey Lew. Don't lump Aussie dry humor with Pommie humor. It was bad enuf they beat us in the Ashes last year (Cricket for the uneducated) I have always heard that good humor needs to have an underlying truth to it ;-) yea Summer for us here - damm ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Gentlemen You guys obviously don't get my dry Aussie humour :-) I am only having a bit of fun at what seems to be a new cartridge of the month, that is better than last months every month. As Axel said, the differences are probably small and too ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jasper Jasper Jasper.yes, we have a new monthly hero - the Empire 1000ZX/E. It must sound awesome as every few weeks we have a new champion that is better than the previous one. But then again, try a slippery dip 2 or 3 cm ass up. Try all your car... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: Forget that email. I will run to you tha pictures that Roy send me and this could help you that when you receive the cartridge you can compare it stylus with that of the picture.In the other side and due that this Empire has a very high... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel If you look at the manual on vinyl engine the replacement stylus is listed as S1000ZE/X-ERD. So you have the correct one. So is this the new Emperor ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul Either you are consistently contradicting youself or you agree with me about LOMC's being better sounding devices over the recently discussed and readily avalable MM's. Raul quote" No, the MC are not more " revealing " but has a higher di... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Audiofeil so far you get the best quote on this now comedy thread :>) "So long as you point one at derblowhard as well.But he and his flight attendant, syntax, get extra frequent flyer miles for chutzpah.Now boarding, the Humility Express. Non-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul From your email I am assuming the M20FL & 20E have the same generator but different stylus? Frankly, the 20E is only around 80 Euro, so not expensive if one was to buy. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm I can only state how a cart sounds in my system. Not that the M20FL sounds bad, it doesn't, it sounds good. I have not heard a p77, let alone a p77i. Buy both and let us know what you think. You also need to buy a Ortofon 20E now as well now ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I fitted the Nagoaka MP-50 and IMO it is quite a bit better than the M20FL Super. The M20FL is a little forward in the upper midrange and as Raul said, it is a little coarse in the high frequencies. The MP50 has better transparency and a more re... |
