| 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... | |
| 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. |
