| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Edit:That should read, I think the 550ML was the only round plug beryllium/ML ever made. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, I think you should open it and determine if it is, in fact an original. This should have no affect on return-ability, as long as it's not damaged. Raul tried his and can now return it if he desires.If it is a beryllium/ML, it is worth more th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,That's interesting about Kelly's phono. I wonder how many others have that imbalance compensation circuit, zero, maybe one or two? How about yours?You read into my argument? You missed the point. It's about circuit topology and uneven exposure... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew,On the face of it you make a good case, but IMO you're wrong. You say, **As you note, the positive and negative halves of the signal are treated separately. Thus, so far as the full sine wave or complex wave form that is music is concerned,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Check with the manufacturer for correct configuration. Apparently the ground can be strapped internally to the tonearm ground post. The standard record player pinout is L = #3, R = #5, and #2 (center) is usually ground.But the manufactur... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, Re: Balanced. The duplication of parts in each channel of the preamp serves to amplify the positive and negative sides of the same waveform. Not talking about common mode rejection, what about those different sides of the same signal? IMO whe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,You could split the ground wire after the tonearm connector.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola, I figured that the orig cantilever is aluminum (tapered?) or LpGear would say so and charge more for beryllium. Since the price is already $200, who knows? The 20SS stylus is available at Stereoneedles for the same money.I don't run balanc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola,It was inaccurately reported and I repeated it, that the cantilever on the AT-20SL and SLa is beryllium. It is described as tapered aluminum at LpGear where they have the orig replacement needle. Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think some of the confusion here is the result of contradictory terminology. The phono cart has a (+) and (-) side, I.e. (+) and (-) sides of the waveform, and that's why it's inherently balanced. The - side is often referred to and sometimes us... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff,The ATN152MLP to a 440 body isn't a transplant, it's a straight up replacement. I was coming from the orig 440ML stylus so I guess a loss in dynamics is to be expected. It's extremely hard to figure out in advance what the final results will... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dentdog,I'm not familiar with all the equipment you mentioned, but I wonder about the restored Thorens 125. I've seen restored tables going for relatively big money and wonder if it's worth it. You didn't mention price and it might depend on wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff, Nice write up.**Would the increase in output change the voicing.**Not entirely known. The big improvement should be in dynamics. It seems to be better according to some CA V2 users. Some say much better. Presumably the voltage increase woul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola,That's interesting. I have an AT12E which has a different motor than your 12S. The 12E is the same motor as a 13E(a), while the 12S(a) was designed for 4-ch and has extended response and seemingly top specs - 500 ohms/2.7mV.The 13Ea is the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,I don't think there's a part number for a plug. If there were, you'd wind up with a pressure fitted one. A plug is an integral part of the plastic holder. Probably, the only 3400 series plastic stylus holder made by AT has a pressure fitted re... |
