| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi RaulThe MP-50 is excellent. As I mentioned before transparency and treble detail is very good, with a lack of forwardness that gives for very little listener fatigue. Bass, while not up to the MC standard's is great and it has that MC like 3d i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I received my brand new made in Japan Nagaoka MP-50 from LPgear last night. Put it onto my 9.5 Ortofon LH-8000 wood headshell and set it up on my "S" armwand on the Exclusive P10. set up VTA around level for 150gm LP's and weight at 1.6gms Please ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven Belt question? EbmDo you prefer the BN battery power supply to the standard PS?Me I am undecided - you are correct that it is quieter, slighter blacker background, bass is not deeper but seems a little better defined.However, I find the pace, rhthym, timing and ... | |
| 2nd tonearm on HRX You are correct that VPI is very easy with their interchangable tonearm wands. the best you can get for a single tonearm. However it is not as good as having a seperate complete tonearm set up on the table. That was one of the great selling point... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II R F Sayles, I guess the issue here goes back to synergy and especially between turntables & tonearms. I like my Phantom tonearm, however I am not sure if I would like it as much on a leaner sounding table compared to what I have now. Personall... | |
| Graham Phantom vs. Phantom II R F Sayles Avid make a specific armboard for the Naim ARO unipivot tonearm, so your comments about Mass not liking unipivots makes no sense. He clearly does not like the Ghraham on his table. There could be two trains of thought about this. - firs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul / Anyone Have any of you heard MM's that are current production? Like Ortofon Bronze, Red or Black for example, or Even the Nagoaka current series. I would certainly be interested in their performance. I think MM's might have some more releva... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raulyes I do have the Ortofon M20FL Super ( NOS ). But like Lewm, mine is sitting in a draw getting lonely as I have a couple of MM's not yet tried. I only have one MM phono stage, so I need another one. changing tonearm cables is a PITA. I will l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Yea I realised you were on the side of logic.I never had any doubt that it was NOS, however a few of us like to think conspiracy theory. This is one of literally 1000's of cart's LPgear sell. At least you guys have lowered my expectations of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I find this thread re LPgear and their questioned legitimacy in selling authorised cart's quite bizzare and lacking all logic whatsoever. LPgear state they have original cart's and stylus's and have a business relationship with the manufacturers ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi RaulI have not received my MP50 as yet. Still listening to the 1080LT :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? DgobI am with Raul on this. What do you mean it may or may not be an original but not NOS. What are they s/h? Did they get them from Nagoaka?Quote from the LPgear web site" LP Gear imports Nagaoka cartridges, styli and accessories and has full au... | |
| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 Statman I see your system is tilted towards home theater rather than 2 channel. Movies must sound great. I would hope the JL's would blend into your HT system a lot easier and better than the REL Stentor's which are designed primarily for 2 channe... | |
| Number of records you have About 4500 odd different LP releases. Never sold one of my albums. Your system should never be worth more than your music collection - unless you are filthy rich so you are forgiven | |
| cj Premier 11 capacitor upgrade Hi DdraveIn my experience you will not get much if any additional bass with the teflon caps, even after break in. The bass will breath better. - so the LP140's will have the advantage in ultimate bass impact. But as you said, all other aspects of ... |
