| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for the comments Dover.There have been more than a few cartridges I've had that "I simply cannot stand"......two of them, much-acclaimed LOMCs with $12,000 pricetags 😱In these cases, I sell them off fairly quickly....Of the other 50 I still... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Addendum to my Post above:During the month that one of my DM-58 Monoblocks was being repaired......I was forced to listen through headphones (Audeze LCD-2 Magnetic Planars with Schiit Audio Lyr Valve Headphone Amp).Having listened to my cartridges... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Again, they can’t both be equally good at replicating the sound of music if they each sound so different from the other. But ALL my cartridges sound different to each other....👅That's the beauty (to me) of having these two different turntables, si... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Haha....no no Frogman.All good 😘I've been busy lately attending to things around the house which seem to pile up till they become almost overwhelming 🥵The 'end' however is hopefully in sight....I am a little perplexed though with your opinions on ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Some audiophiles seem to think that 'Uber Systems' are only worthwhile when playing perfectly recorded Classical or Jazz recordings (unamplified instruments in real space a la H. Pearson and The Absolute Sound).I especially have avoided most of t... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks Frogman....I thought we had 'lost' you...😢I was going to dedicate the next 'Shootout' to the 'late' Frogman 👅I hope you have clicked on the 'Follow' note at the top of the discussion Thread as you will then receive an Email notification of ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The stylus holder on mine is grey.Is there any significance to the different colours? | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Agree with you Dover on your Shure rankings.....Despite Princi's preferences, the V15/III/SAS sounds more refined than the ML140HE.Just be aware that the substitution of the SAS stylus improves the 'standard' V15/III and its ranking ahead of the 1... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for the feedback Dover.....Good stuff 👍I'll refrain from comment in case Frogman gives his appraisal (I hope he hasn't abandoned us?).....I have no doubts that the ET2 is a superlative arm as I've heard nothing but praise for it from many p... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks to Harold's Shure Cartridge Ranking Guide (above).....I managed to find a SHURE ULTRA 500 in mint condition with its MICRO RIDGE STYLUS still sharp and shiny 🤗Unfortunately for the last month, one of my Halcro DM-58 Monoblocks has been in A... | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part Fidelity-Reseach B-60 is not just an arm stabilizer, but a VTA on the fly, here is one.Chak, that is not a genuine Fidelity Research B-60 base.The genuine B-60 does not have the screw in the top-plate and hence has no horizontal movement at all.I’... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges Congratulations on two great decks and wonderful arm.The FR-7fz is far rarer than the FR-7f and consequently more expensive.If the stylus needs replacing on the FR-7f.....have it re-tipped with a nude Line Contact diamond pressure-fitted into the ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for that Shure 'Ranking Chart' Harold......Very useful 👍 | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 More detailed comments forthcoming, but Princi and I are in complete agreement;Hahaha........😂 | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I preferred both my V15vxmr & V15vmr with a brazillian and a dab of superglue on the stylus holder - as used in my Eminent Technology ET2. Accurate tonearm set up, properly grounded TT & clean records obviate the need for heath robinson ty... |
