| Lyra Kleos SL Hi,Have you seen this thread on the naim forum?http://forums.naimaudio.com/topic/lyra-kleos-sl-arrivesThere could be practical reasons for wanting lower output. If someone has a SUT designed for a lower output cart, the regular version cart would ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric, I don't disagree with your assertion about suspension wires. I quoted a statement about joint pipes and your response was assumptive, a one sided debate.As I previously stated, all cantilevers have a point of attachment regardless of w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? All what, cartridges or seen cartridges?All cartridges were never part of the equation.**Neither of us (J.Carr and I) addressed each other in this context.**Surely you jest. The Jcarr quote was addressed to you.I think Technics called the joint pi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,While this "logical" Abbott and Costello routine may or may not be amusing to readers of this thread, perhaps there is a more interesting subject. You mentioned that you're in possession of Dertonearm's Archon cartridge. What's the scoop? ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,You neglect the qualifier "that I have seen". I didn't see a statement about having seen all, only those he has seen.You assume too much. I made no argument only pointed out the discrepancy between your statements regarding joint pipes. I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,The quantifier "all" was not used. If you have a problem with Jcarr's statement, take it up with him.My one example contained a joint pipe, so it was not contrary to the statement. It did have an unusual suspension wire which appeared t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? **Hi Nandric: In every phono cartridge that I have seen, the cantilever rod is joined to the pivoting part of the cantilever assembly by means of a slightly larger tube called the "joint pipe". Joint pipes of different length make it possible to c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm not saying this pertains to Lew, but when you have a stylus replaced or especially a stylus/cantilever you have to abandon some of your previous set-up adjustments and approach as if it's a new cartridge. Obviously, alignment is whatever you u... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, the problem is no further response manipulation is possible due to lack of inductance, not that it sounds bad at 1K. At 100 ohms it sounds like a refined Grado IMO and 1K is a vast improvement, but still not perfect.Even though vocals sound a... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Harold NTB,You mean the Luckydog eff mass calc? Copy the URL:www.luckydog.demon.co.uk/images/EMC.xlssearch and open the document. You should find everything from VTF to counterweight distance. Luckydog is a physicist who happens to like records. M... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth VE database has the FR64FX at @ 20g and the 64S @ 35gIs this is correct? I'd guess the 12" arms are heavier. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,My comment was about HO MM/MI, the 980LZ is a special case. I remember Raul saying 100 ohms was it, and that was also mfg recommendation I believe. That's about as valid as all HO carts need 47K. Many preamps back then used 100 ohms as the MC ... | |

| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Generalizations, half truths, and oversimplification lead to erroneous conclusions even if they work. Rules are made to be broken and it's results that matter. You want to know the resonant frequency of your arm/cart? Buy a test record. How is it ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Kevin, I think everyone would be interested in your experiences with strain gauge, Stax etc. I'm sitting on the edge of my chair.Hi Lew, I suspect the very best MM are those with low inductance and high resonant frequency. They're also the tric... |
