| Cartridge setup revisited Madfloyd, try your local electronics parts/ hobbyist store. That's where I bought mine. Regards, Fap. | |
| Cartridge setup revisited G'day all, a nice story! As my close distance eyesight is so poor these days, I use one of those helmet magnifiers when doing overhang adjustments with a Baerwald two point gauge protractor. It makes this very important job a lot easier and is hig... | |
| cartridges to enjoy without worries Happy New Year from Australia, where it's early New Years Day Morning. I also recommend the Shure M97xE. If overhang is adjusted correctly and electrical 'loading' optimised, few cartridges will better it at many times the price, in my humble opin... | |
| Good cartridge for playing rock I recommend the Shure M97xE (at 47 k resistive loading). That cartridge handles particularly 'hot cut' rock albums very well. Regards, Fap. | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Greetings all, as I've mentioned early in this thread my DIY ESP P99 subsonic filter has worked superbly in removing practically all unwanted subsonic energy with a rapid and steep response below 18 Hz. There have been no adverse effects on the re... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions As I understand it, in the ESP P99 design the idea of summing the two stereo channels to mono was originally considered but later discarded because of possible frequency response anomaly considerations. My own experience with the P99 filter is tha... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Bob, oh I forgot to mention I've noticed no audio degradation to any aspect of the audio quality with the use of the subsonic filter. I was worried about that possibility, but it hasn't happened. I'm happy! Also there no no gain through the filter... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Hi Bob, yes circuit boards are available for the circuit, but all components need to be sourced by the constructor. All parts are easily available from the usual parts shops. The filter input is connected to the output of the phono stage. I also u... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Well, I took the subsonic filter option. I built this excellent subsonic filter, and if anything the quality of vinyl playback has improved with additional clarity and increased apparent available power. I highly recommend this subsonic filter.htt... | |
| Tracking Troubles--Upgrade or Setup? Well, that's interesting. I have M97xE's fitted to all my three turntables and I have never heard any inner groove distortion at all. I know for a fact that the M97xE is sensitive to correct overhang adjustment, so perhaps there lies the reason. S... | |
| Tracking Troubles--Upgrade or Setup? G'day, interesting one. More and more I'm coming to the opinion that poor overhang set-up is the main reason for all manner of perceived vinyl playback issues. It took me years (about 20?!), to properly work out the intricacies of the Baerwald two... | |
| Ortofon Cartridge Questions Good morning, an interesting question. Having used the Super OM model myself, I think an upgrade to the Super OM model cartridge is worthwhile. The situation is confused by the fact that that the styli will fit any similar Ortofon model. However t... | |
| Cartridges - what have you owned and your opinion G'day all, quite a few MM's over the years, from way back Shure M91ED, Grace F9 (sadly never set up optimally), numerous budget MM's, and more recently Ortofon Super OM's (quite 'in your face' but engaging) , M97xE's (my present favourite with opt... | |
| Phono Cable optimal vs max length? G'day, you don't state if your cartridge is moving magnet or moving coil but iin the case of a typical moving magnet cartridge the inherent capacitance of the interconnect cable is the important factor and excessive capacitance will 'resonate' wit... | |
| Review: Shure M97xE Cartridge Good morning, interesting question. None of my M97xE styli have gone 'green' at all, although the copper has become a little tarnished on my older ones (all kept). How is the general level of humidity in your local area as this might be a factor? ... |
