| Does 21g seem high for effective tonearm mass? "In general higher mass arms control the cartridge instead of the other way around - am I right, Raul ?? "Interesting way to look at it. While the arm should provide a stable platform for the cart to track, there's a delicate balance between stabi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Namiki Jewel is the manufacturer of microridge. They also make single crystal sapphire cantilevers. That's what SS has. The exact type of his micro stylus is unknown (to me). You can find Namiki on the web, with contact numbers. Grbluen2,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Some news about Clearaudio MMs - Apparently they have new bodies and are designated V2. These aren't on CA web site yet; I saw them at NeedleDr. If the specs are to be believed, they are identical. Dr says the magnets are stronger for greater outp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, The stylus/cantilever makes a very large contribution to the sound of each particular cartridge. Although there are generalizations we can make about cantilever material or stylus profile, the application is by no means universal to all g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, That consideration is specific to each cartridge. Regards, | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Bydlo,"The big unknown is it's matching with 3012R...possibly problematic due to loose bearings, but maybe FD-200 damper will help."Maybe not. If the 3012 has loose bearings, you're ill advised to use it at all and especially with a Decca. A band-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel, "If you or any of the better informed readers can resolve the two standards of measurment, I'd be grateful. I've not heard the 440ML, my 440MLa has resided in its case unused for three years."DC resistance is the value you'd get by pu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I never heard an AM10, merely making an observation. My experience with Signets is limited to TK-3, 5, 7s and a TK10MLII. Assuming that Timeltel's post is accurate and 780 is DC resistance, not impedance, then the motors seem close, if not... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? AM-10 generator specs are nearly identical to orig AT-440ML/OCC. 5 - 32,000 output 5.0 mV 490 mH DC resistance 812 ohms. Regards, | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Sarcher, That's better. Maybe it was use of terms, not sure.Anyway, "The people that try to get the perfect SRA for every record must believe that it's more important than perfect alignment. I doubt there are many people that would go to the troub... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Sarcher30, I didn't mean to imply that you took a position, that you really didn't. I should have addressed my last comment to "anyone who". Sorry. As far as the various alignments, you still have them mixed up. Baerwald goes for even error at beg... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Hi Searcher, Actually, Baerwald (Loefgren A) is least average error across the entire record i.e. even amount beginning, middle, end. Loefgren(B) is least total error. That's because nulls are closer to the middle where error is the greatest, but ... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Where did the notion of perfect alignment originate? It is only tangent at 2 points throughout the record side, whatever alignment you choose. Wax poetic about your wonderful alignment, but it is only choosing one set of errors vs another.What abo... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang The problem is twofold, overhang changes with arm height and SRA varies from 91 to 95 degrees. Even Jon Risch* (the guy whose work this is based on) said that 91 degrees is right for 80% of all records. In reality, I think most people who occasion... | |
| At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter? Hi Sbrownnw,I haven't compared specs, but this is a very popular regulated switching power supply.http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=120-532Not all records have built-in rumble, and even a cu/arm mass mismatch, tends to be dwa... |
