| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Actually chakster, you're reiterating the dilemma. The post is about finding a stylus that works optimally with both 1940's /50's mono and mono reissues. The fact that a conical stylus is suited for early mono records is something that, I believe,... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus ’Regarding the typical life span of the Conical stylus profile you can read online.’chakster, I’ve never seen this claim, do you have a URL? Some mono cartridges use a conical stylus because it fits the way earlier mono records were cut. The stylu... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus solypsa, the biggest problem would be installing either on a modified Thorens TD 145 MK1. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus solypsa, thanks for showing me the Groovemaster II tonearm. It gets great reiews and certainly looks the part. I suppose I could put off buying the Jelco and wait until I'm able to afford a 9"GM at roughly $1,700.00, twice the price of the Jelco. ... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus 'An MC cartridge with such stylus must be retipped every 300 hrs.'According to who and why? I don't own 1960's mono, just earlier (no shellac) and a few reissues. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus solypsa, I agree about which tonearm with which cartridge. I like the Schick and it's affordable but it's still much more than a Jelco. Additionally what makes the Jelco nice is that it will drop right into my Thorens without modifications. The Je... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Sorry lewm, I didn’t look at the Quintet. The Cadenza Mono webpage claims that the Cadenza is a true mono cartridge for playing mono microgroove vinyl records. However, it states that the Cadenza Mono internal build is based on the internal build ... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Thanks chakster but I’d rather own an MC, just a personal preference. I am familiar with Grace as I owned an F 8 but I wasn’t all that impressed with it, though it filled a need at the time. Maybe the F9 would have left me with a different opinion... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Using a mono switch is nill. Neither my phono amp or amp offers a mono switch. Lewm, I am somewhat surprised to hear you say that the Ortofon Cadenza mono cartridge is a strapped stereo cartridge as Ortofon claims otherwise. What is your source th... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Lewm, I'm not ignorant, rather I'm keeping my post simple. I've found this Ortofon website to break things down more but still question whether or not a microcline stylus would be ideal for pressings from both the 1950's and the 2000's.https://www... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I'm wanting to buy a pair of rebuilt Quad 57's for the same reason. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Hard to believe there's no mention of the ASR Emitter II Exclusive. It runs on a battery, fed by two power supplies. It's been a venerated amp since the 1980's. | |
| how do you know if you need a dac ? toyo18, I know that Ayre made a high end CD player that could be connected to a computer and used as a stand alone DAC but I don't remember the model number of the CD player. Anyway, the DAC chip that was inside that CD player was their best, most... | |
| Sorry to ask this SACD question, but Wouldn't this issue be resolved if Apple and Sony would get along so that Apple could create a super drive that reads SACD? | |
| how do you know if you need a dac ? I have the Ayre QB9 DSD DAC. I believe the DAC that Ayre uses in their CD Players is equal if not better sounding. Are you certain you can't use your CD player as a stand alone DAC as well? If not, I'd call Ayre. |
