| The value of embellishment? Joe’s imaginary guitar notes will sound smashing on this turntable..... | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 The emperor’s new clothes and not very pretty at that. The OMA gets my vote for winning the ’ugliest turntable’ award, the SAT for ’most overpriced’, the TechDas for ’most over engineered’. The fact that these products exist and apparently satisfy... | |
| MY SONIC LAB Cartridges @dover this voicing to specific requirements for these brands is what I had suspected as well. Then again I seem to remember one poster here suggested that AirTight doesn’t even bother to offer their cartridges for sale in Japan and leaves the hom... | |
| MY SONIC LAB Cartridges @dover have you made any direct comparisons between MSL cartridges and the work Matsudaira San has done for other brands like Airtight, TechDas, Haniwa, Accuphase and others? The body materials, components and specs are all more or less the same, ... | |
| Putting it to bed This thread prompted me to play 'Ish' again, from Brand X on their Livestock album. To me this is one of the finest examples of Phil's accomplishment as a drummer. The same applies to his work with Brian Eno in the 70s. A completely different musi... | |
| Cartridges with that musical coherence - having heard it, I need to learn more Yes, Shelter certainly does the coherence thing. I owned the earliest 701 model which was a great performer and I’m sure current models are too. What other cartridges do this you ask? In my opinion the Miyabi cartridges made by Takeda San reached ... | |
| MY SONIC LAB Cartridges Matsudaira San’s designs definitely fall in the ’neutral’ camp, for whatever that term is worth. This often comes together with extreme detail retrieval, but the emphasis - if any - with MSL cartridges seems more on micro and macro dynamics than d... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Okay, I’ve finally made a serious attempt to listen through the limitations and distortions of the iPad speakers. Cartridge A is much clearer and open than cartridge B. Much more dynamic as well but perhaps also a little edgy, if the distortion on... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Black loading Lewm, I don’t see any incompatibility. As you say, loading less than 10x the internal impedance of a cartridge will have an audible effect on its performance, due to voltage drop. This is usually experienced as a loss of output/dynamics and a roll... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, unfortunately the cartridges with diamond cantilever all came to me without the documentation, which often seems more rare than the cartridges themselves. If these are included you pay a hefty premium. So when given a choice.... | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? Ah yes! Now that I remember how that story went I get the 'who' as opposed to the 'why' in your question. I failed miserably, but then again I'm not a native speaker. Yet I can imagine most folks living in Amnerica will have a hard time following ... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Black loading Do a search on the topic of cartridge loading. Several experts here have explained numerous times this is more related to the phono amp capabilities to deal with resonance than to any specific cartridge requirements. The cartridge manufacturer rec... | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? You mean 'napkins'? Pink or black? At Warner Bros executive dinner parties? Mo Austin? Miss Pinky? I'm confused. | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? Two second with different time zones, are you kidding?😅. But time is an affliction anyway, thanks to Gregory Peckery who invented the calender. Evelyn of course was of the canine persuasion. Apparently related to Fido, the poodle 'with the oral ap... | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? Mijostyn, that’s quite an imaginative description of Chunga’s Revenge. If the unsuspecting hippies didn’t get enough punishment from his wrath, we could send in Nanook to rub their eyes in a circular motion with the deadly yellow snow, right there... |
