| Cartridges for Mayware Mk IV Tonearms If you're getting excellent sound with the 1006 maybe you should try a Goldring D42 stylus, made for the 1042. This is interchangeable with your stylus and features a Gyger S tip. I don't know if there is any difference in the generators in this s... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo I think just about everything you need to know is in this thread, except which carts are true mono. That, and tip size are what make a hugh difference with vintage mono recordings. If you have such records in your collection and play them with a r... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo Pryso, I think you're right about the pressings. Even some mono reissues from the '70s and '80s seem to be cut with a stereo head. You don't get the SQ improvement as with vintage pressings. On another forum it was reported that plans were in the ... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo I think results are pressing dependent. I've been checking out a DL102, a true mono cart similar to a 103, only a HOMC. This has a .7 spherical and vintage pressings sound much better with it. The entire presentation is more coherent, natural and ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro,Inspired by your post on this subject I'm checking out a mono cartridge, a loan of a DL102. This is HOMC, a true mono with only 2 long output pins so you have to double up the wire connectors. VTF is 2 to 4g w/3mV out. Tip is a .7mil spheri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,No further comment on your post 11/20/14 because I realize you were angry. As Kant said, cogito ergo sum. I'm not sure how that fits in, but at least he said it.**By my first I broke the cantilever copying Fleib by trying to bend the beryl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, I realize English isn't your native language, but really?You might not think that post was amusing, and maybe it wasn't, but how could you possibly think I was serious? Can't take a little friendly kidding? Ulysses and the Sirens indeed!N... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff,David Dlaloum has an original X1 stylus. It's the body he lacks. It would be interesting to see some measurements.Did you special order your stylus from this Morita guy? Seems there's a consistency problem.All Jico non SAS styli are bonded t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A fitting end to the MM/MI thread? Nandric and Griffithds declare a winner with a "sweet little cart" rescued from obscurity. Who's to offer another opinion with only a few examples in the known world? Known to us, that is.Raul has this cart, yet ... | |
| Step up from AT150MLX on Technics 1200 The 150 and 440 have different generators. The 440 treble glare comes from a rising high end and a cantilever resonance at 16KHz. The resin body is probably less resonant than the metal shell of the deluxe bodied 150. Both need < 200pF capacita... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Griff,Going by this limited info, they're not likely the same. BTW, do the owner manuals in VE library have more specs?The X1 has response to 60K. Maybe it was developed for 4-ch. The shibata stylus might be an indicator and it should have rela... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It looks like Jico has a SAS for the Z1 - four or five listings, might be a cross reference. I don't know about these JVC styli. They are the same basic style and if the joint pipe and cantilever are the same, you might be able to trim some plasti... | |
| Alphason HR-100s tonearm cue repair - help The plastic headshell lift is mickey mouse. It's easily deformed and tends to compromise cart fastening. There are spare part add-on lifters like a ProJect part sold at Needle Dr. The middle and other hole would have to be trimmed to accommodate t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric, I'm not familiar with JVC pulse train transducer analysis, but there's a lot I'm not familiar with. AFAIK a pulse train is irregularly shaped square waves and a pulse train is used for such varied things as radio frequency signal analy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dover, Nice little primer on harmonics. Energy storage in speaker cables? Seems to be more about amplitude than phase, but I guess it could be both if they talk about arrival time. I didn't watch the whole thing. As Lebowski might have put it, ... |
