| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew,May I ask what preamp you're using with the 980? If you're going straight in, what resistance?Thanks, | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Jeremy,Halcro said it more succinctly than I. That's what I mean. Resonance calculators are just an estimate. I've calculated combinations that should resonate at 8Hz, and they tested at 10Hz. Effective mass is will change with things like the dis... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws There is no formula to convert static compliance to dynamic. In fact dynamic cu can be different laterally than vertically. For resonance estimates vertical is normally used. Most specs are dynamic cu. For example, most Benz carts are 15cu (dynami... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Jeremy,Static compliance is always higher than dynamic. It's dynamic compliance that is used to estimate arm/cart resonance. The standard used in these calculations is measured at 10Hz. Some Japanese cart manufacturers measure dynamic at 100Hz. Th... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Hi Jeremy,From VDH - Static Compliance: 35 Micron/mN To estimate arm/cart res use dynamic cu @ 10Hz.Regards, | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Hi Halcro,I'm curious about your list, specifically the Decca. Do/did you own one? Care to elaborate? I notice it's at the top of the list.Regards, | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Hi Mosin,**Mentioned was the AT-95. this happens to be the same cartridge as the Linn K5 or the Clearaudio Aurum Beta S. I own all these incarnations, and I assure you that they are really nothing to write home about. They not bad, mind you, but t... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... I'd be very interested in hearing from someone who has a Virtuoso - SS tip w/ruby. I read somewhere that it's remarkable. That's not far fetched. The Maestro has the same generator and it's a boron/micro. Unlike a MC, it would be reversible. You c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Funny that your application is attenuators. I found out about IRC from Goldpoint level controls. I needed precision resistors to try different loads in my phono. They seem excellent, although they might not be the ultimate. www.goldpt.com/... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I use the IRC R55 series (1/4 watt) in my phono stage with excellent results. They outperform the Caddocks I've tries. I plug in resistors for gain and load. The IRC are very clean and neutral. The 0.1% tolerance makes them easy to try dif... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There is no escaping our early development and what we were taught, i.e. how to think and act and what to believe. The most we can do is realize this training and take steps to overcome, if necessary.A performing elephant raised in captivity will ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Because my AT-95 is potted and has a custom aluminum top plate, I didn't want to say too much. Even with these modifications I had much the same results. BTW, Wm Thakker was selling the regular 95E for around $32. I believe LpGear charges ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Plinko,The Clearaudio MMs are probably the lowest compliance MMs being produced today. The equivalent 10Hz cu is 15. That is the same cu shared by many LOMCs. AFAIK, all other current MM/MI have higher compliance. Very few, if any MM/MI type... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,You are whatever you assume to be. That is, once you assume the position. It's up to you to figure out how political and social-economic philosophies fit in with aesthetic revelation. Now I'm in a quandary about what stylus to try nex... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Mockery as a form as worship? How crude.Building temples takes big bucks. There will be plenty of opportunity for that later. That is, after the church is established and corrupt. The Church of Aesthetic... |
