| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Leave it to a lawyer to put spin on the situation that seems favorable to his opinion. The Mexican didn't confess anything. He arrived at that conclusion after revising the high gain stage of his phonolinepreamp. He would probably be of that opini... | |
| effective mass of Jelco tonearms The SA-750 is said to have an eff mass of 20g. It's considered a good match with the DL103(d) or other low compliance carts. I don't have one of these arms. The info was reported in VE a number of years ago by the UK importer. Because the 750 has ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson, We last heard about your XP-25 saga with great results from the 20SS. Did you switch back to the ART7?Your posts bring up the question of cart-preamp synergy. Wasn't your previous unit tubes? Sorry, I forgot what that was (MP1?), a pho... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, I must have missed that thread. I discussed this with John and we've seemed to come to an understanding although I don't know if he believes it. That has to do with electrical resonance a la Hagerman and its affect on phase performance. It's ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1, If you want to keep it original and the cantilever/suspension are in good shape, then you should have it retipped with a micro type similar to the VDH 1.Maybe Nandric could advise you about that. I think he said that Axel has those tips, o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1, What kind of cantilever does it have, and is it in tact? There's a new guy in Washington state, Andy Kim is said to do nice work. He might be somewhat limited in tip and/or cantilever selection, I haven't used his services. Of course there... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Now that we're into MCs I think there's one thing everybody should realize. Two samples of the same model will probably be different, and they might be very different. On DIY forum John Curl said he couldn't find two samples of the same model that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, I just went through this for the umpteenth time on Asylum so please excuse me if I try to abbreviate. With regards to amplitude response there are two types of MC, those with a rising high end and those with flat extended response. Many of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, There's a description for each cart and within that description a range of preamp loads are mentioned. I'm not fluent in German either. AFAIK all tests were done per manufacturer recommendations. I was told that Stereoplay uses the Test Facto... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? At the end of this MC survey there are 5 amplitude plots. http://www.fastaudio.com/workspace/uploads/downloads/stp_08_10_sd_tonabnehmer.pdfIs the classic rising high end part of the appeal? Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jcarr,I located a photo of the Monster tip right here on Agon:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/cartridges-monster-cable-alpha-genesis-1000-2014-06-21-analog-italyIn anticipation of your response, this is what you said about drilling through bor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Comrad Nandric Esq.The VE cart database lists the MC-81 as having a shibata stylus with a beryllium cantilever, and the MC-82 (gold body)as having the VDH stylus. Is this possible? The listing also has the MC-82 as having a boron tube cantilever, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jcarr,If my last response to your cantilever analysis seems reactionary, it's because your comparison with the 1000A seemed entirely inappropriate. Increased tip mass compared to the lightest ever? I fail to see your point. You've been most hel... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Comrade, While I'm obsessive when it comes to cantilevers, I'm obsessive compulsive with styli. Before each play I use a soft brush three times from back to front. That's three times only, no more no less. Every other side (sometimes more) I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is a group test from '06. There are amplitude plots for Clearaudio Concerto and VDH Grasshopper 3.I think you'll find it amusing.http://www.highend.cz/old/productpages/clearaudio/testy/2006-09ConcertoGrasshopperHiFiNews.pdfRegards, |
