| Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade Thanks Mitch2, I suppose it makes since then for me to get the upgrade given that I find nothing objectionable about the Ayre, not to mention times when it sounds very, very good.beetlemania, I hope you post something about the upgrade when you ge... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus 'Maybe I should plug myself into a phono preamp. Any body try that?'Sounds as if your already convinced but if you wish to, then go ahead. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus intactaudio, have you heard the Miyajima Zero? I personally have not but many will claim that it is one of the best mono sounding cartridges. What mono micro ridge cartridges do you believe to be a good choice. And, are their good micro ridge mono... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus miijostyn, thanks for the URL. My nude conical is 0.65 mil and I have no real objections to the richness of sound that I’m getting from 1950’s mono. So maybe a mono cartridge with a Shibata stylus of 0.7 mil or more could be fine; I’m not certain ... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Dave, here are a couple of sources which explain different styli and groove dimensions as well as other things.https://www.badenhausen.com/VSR_History.htmhttps://dgmono.com/2017/02/17/modern-mono-playback/I think we're loosing site of what matters... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Dave, I'm thinking that your London LP should be a microgroove pressing. I suppose technically you're correct, that the shape of the groove is a V looking shape however that groove opening is wider than the later stereo cut grooves. In fact, the g... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Dave, are you saying that late 1940's to late 1950's mono records are cut with the same V shaped groove as stereo records? | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus pryso, thanks for the URL! | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus chakster, in this case the actual pressing would be different, am I not correct? | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus iopscrl, Hana makes a low output mono cartridge which they say is a true mono cartridge and it has shibata diamond. Would this stylus stand up to a cartridge with a conical stylus when playing 1950’s mono pressings? Please keep in mind that I’m lo... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus stringeen, I agree that many mono records sound better than stereo despite the style of pickup used. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus lewm, I have neither a mono switch on my ASR amp nor my entry ASR phono stage, so that's out of the question. It was suggested in my earlier post on this sight (Which mono cartridge under $1,200.00) that I look for a true mono cartridge. I went fr... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus pryso, The Ortofon Cadenza mono makes claim for being ideal for any type of mono vinyl despite the era, however it is still questionable as to whether or not the Ortofon is simply just a strapped mono cartridge.I'm afraid I can't see myself afford... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus chakster, When I mention vinyl from the 1940's, I'm actually referring to that period of time where shellac changes to vinyl but exactly when, I don't know for certain. I do have some very early vinyl. As for my phono stage, I have an ASR mini bas... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus lewm, it would be unfortunate for you to be right concerning the Ortofon Cadenza mono, as this cartridge is at a good price point for what it claims to do. I've always been of the understanding that a true mono build is superior over a strapped st... |
