| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timetel,Different strokes?Wasn't the TK-9 similar to the TK-10? I'm trying to remember. In the mid '80s I sold Signet, but not AT. We didn't always have all the models in stock. I had a TK-10MLII - at home. It sounds very different than my 15SS... | |
| VPI Classic/Clear Audio Maestro Wood Question Azimuth can only be ball parked by levelling. I'm not saying you're wrong to do it that way, but ultimately there are better ways to align the actual stylus with the groove rather than aligning the body. The azimuth adjustment is one for lowest cr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, I've discussed measurements with Dlaloum on other forums. He's very well versed on the subject and making great progress. Most of us have time and equipment limitations that are hard to overcome. Many people think that inductance is the p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,There are lots of posts since I last visited. If I misread something, please forgive. When a stylus is swapped, the compliance becomes that of the stylus. So if a 20SS is used on a TK7_, then cu is that of the SS. This must be adjusted... | |
| Top 3 high compliant mm/mi cartridges Hello Raul,I agree with you that too much is made about cu and mass. It is often hard to predict the outcome of a highish cu cart in a heavier arm. I never owned a Sonus cart and therefore never tried one on my Sonus arm. That might be interesting... | |
| Top 3 high compliant mm/mi cartridges There's a big difference between carts with a cu around 20, and those closer to 50. Most modern MM/MI carts have a cu around 20, and are designed to work in med mass arms. A cart with a cu around 50 (Sonus) might sound sluggish in a med weight arm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello David,Yes, that's very interesting isn't it - the relationship between compliance and HF resonance. To be honest, I've never owned a Shure cart although I'm somewhat familiar with a few. Wasn't there an earlier version of the V-15V with lowe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi David,Your measurements are fascinating and I applaud your efforts in this time consuming endeavor. If I may be so bold to make a suggestion, I think you need to reexamine methodology and/or equipment. Your ears are more sensitive than your equ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul,I (neobop) hope you don't mind my posting on your thread. I haven't previously. I've been listening to a few nice MM/MI carts over the past couple of years and find them seriously underrated by many record playing enthusiasts. Timetel,R... | |
| Direct Drive TT...vintage era....sleepers.... You should check out the vintage Kenwood DDs. The KD500 and 600 were giant killers back in the day. I used to see them with Black Widows, SMEIIIs and sometimes heavier arms more suited to MCs. This is the era that produced the LO7D. The ones with ... | |
| Increasing tone arm effective mass? Mass added at the headshell will add directly to the effective mass of the arm. Mass added further down the arm tube will have less effect on the arm mass, just like an anti-skate weight. Arm wraps do more for damping then increasing mass, unless ... | |
| Jelco Tone Arms 9 and 12 inch Apparently the 9" Jelco arms have an effective mass of 18g. This cab be adjusted somewhat, by using a different headshell. The stock shell is said to be 12g. The damping of the arm will allow it to be used with a much wider range of cartridges the... |
