Synergistic Research Orange Fuses
Good news, I'll spring for the Orange hopefully next payday. I'll replace the Blue which is currently in my Ayre DAC. I'm wondering though if I would hear a difference by adding an Orange to my ASR phono amp or my HH Scott 350 A tuner? Thanks so f... 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
beetlemania, that's interesting. Is this universal in the sense that recording engineers and others have the same ability? 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
beetlemania, then Ayre was able to adapt the new circuit board and whatever else to the present filters which surprises me. 
Ayre QB9 Twenty Upgrade
tomic601, I believe which ever is recommended by Ayre for general play. There is an A or B switch on the back and I believe it's on A. I do know that the upgrade guts the entire insides of the QB9 and that upgraded filters are part of that. Unfort... 
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.
