| MM cart on a fr24 arm Icorem,There are three things you should consider. One is the effective mass of the FR24 and compatibility with a particular cart. The second is the phono stage especially resistance and capacitance load. Third is overall type sound desired.I'm no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Slimline was Garrott re-tip service. Brown Grado might be a TLZ? I understand that Slimline is particularly good at reading the signal, err... make that groove. (smiley face) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Maybe it's a matter of language, your quote from Richard Steinfeld proves my point. Stanton was not trying to "replicate" a MC, he was trying to build a better LO cart, not a replica or copy."Seems reasonable to me. Now you choose to qualify your... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Satin had an M-21 and M-21B in the early '80s. They might be the better ones. They made a lot of HOMC.I thought the early Sony XL were Satin, but I'm not sure.David says no. Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Isn't the nonsense you're writing now, language?"The whole idea of this cartridge design was to replicate a M/C. I feel it accomplished this idea better in the LZS."Replicate - to duplicate or copy (something) exactly.You were writing a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,"Only that he was trying to replicate what a M/C does to the signal it receives."A MC doesn't receive a signal it generates a signal by a specific method. There are both LOMC and HOMC, differentiated by output voltage and impedance. Ind... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff,Maybe it's a matter of language, your quote from Richard Steinfeld proves my point. Stanton was not trying to "replicate" a MC, he was trying to build a better LO cart, not a replica or copy. "To me, I felt the LO version more lent its prese... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "The whole idea of this cartridge design was to replicate a M/C."What gives you that idea, the low output? Did Stanton say that was a design goal?The suffix LZ and HZ relate to impedance (Z), like a microphone. A low impedance mike requires higher... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,"At 3mH this family of cartridges are relatively high inductance compared to MC's - but a couple of orders of magnitude lower than most MM's." ?980/7500 = 0.3mV, < 1mH. Approaching 1mH is a lot of inductance for .3mV. Typical LOMC inducta... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff, yes Satin was the OEM for some Sony MC's.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? **If I'm off roading, I take my Jeep.**That's where the analogy breaks down. Going to change vehicles midstream, or carts mid-record? What if you're driving in your car and don't happen to see a larger than medium pothole? While 50um will fall sho... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Shure V15 replacement styli are not interchangeable.The V15III takes the VN35HE replacement and the V15IV is the VN45HE. It would be easier to see the different models at LP Gear, rather than Jico site. They have a separate category for Jico. ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm, Peterayer,I believe the 30/12 was introduced sometime near the beginning of this century and is example of what I meant by "having come a long way". Sota on the other hand, like Oracle, seem to have their heads buried in the sand. My apologi... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Perhaps I missed it in the six previous pages of this thread, but there is an issue with belt drive suspended tables that is often overlooked. If the motor is mounted somewhere other than the subchassis along with the platter, then belt tension va... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audio Technica has been raising prices for the past few years, but the carts are still a relative bargain. Some of the price increases are in the features you get for the price. The 33EV is a redesigned 33 series LOMC with a tapered aluminum canti... |
