| Turntable /Cartridge hum Does that hum get louder for a period of time and then bursts away ? I had this kind of noise when using an MC cartridge, as if a charge is building up and then bursts loudly away, in other words a heavy static problem. But you are not using an MC... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new AT-ART9 needs at least 150 maybe 200 hours to really sing. Mine has just reached 190 hours (285 LP play) and sounds wonderful and nicely balanced w/ very deep soundstage at 1.8 g VTF and 100 Ohms, very slightly raised pivot. Has become my referenc... | |
| Greatest debut album Ricmci, you have taste : ) Indeed very young Gabriel had fantastic voice perfectly fitted the music, and he soon would emerge as the perfect interpreter for symphonic progressive rock. Excellent songs, near all perfect pop tunes, and not a single ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Ah, Frogman now I get it: you use a linear tracker : ) Excellent. As for the reference and a reminder, really ; ) for the carts in question, I sold my ACUTEX M320 STR III (short nose, their finest according to some experts) but still have both Gra... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Henry, I thought so as your approach is usually scientific. Thanks for confirmation. Actually I feel sorry for the Raven as it now can´t give the best out of LOMCs : / | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Henry, one question just to confirm the situation: are you listening all the cartridges on balanced mode trough XLR inputs ? I´d assume your great system is fully balanced from cartridge pins to power amps ? | |
| Oracle Delphi mk3 is it worth it I have had 4 different ORACLE DELPHI decks, first was MK IV w/ (at the time new) hard acrylic mat and stiffer spring suspension. Frankly, it sounded awful no matter how carefully I adjusted the suspension and fine-tuned it, I got perfect up and do... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Henry, I haven´t tried a V15/III so far unfortunately but with a modern SAS stylus it would be greater that it originally was. This is not my experience but a friend´s who had the original III, as he wasn´t excited of its high register performance... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 ^^ Halcro. Yes indeed ! Now I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you the good old SHURE Ultra 500 cartridge ... Because that´s exactly what SHURE managed to achieve in their V15V-MR design and that goal culminating in the SHURE Ultr... | |
| HQ phono preamp for Highphonic MC R5 LOMC Came the resolution: I bought a twenty five yrs old fully balanced Electrocompaniet EC-3 preamp w/ MC board. Its sound quality just blows me away. Never ever had heard such a big sound from a phono cartridge. But it wasn´t that easy really, not ju... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? We are all ears | |
| Best MM? Ha-ha ! That explains your attitude. But doesn´t help OP at all.Back to square one: an original GLANZ MFG-610LX outperforms certain Audio-Technica´s top dog in my system.Its little brother MFG-310LX is very good too and worth to try, both inexpens... | |
| Best MM? Some have a limited experience and that, as unfortunately so often has been seen, doesn´t prevent them posting in forum like this : ) Who do you think you are, some kind of an angel ? | |
| Mountain and Cactus Finally real rock´n´roll here : )MOUNTAIN Twin Peaks live at Koseinenkin Hall, Osake August 30 1973 has the heaviest, fuzziest & fattest bass sound captured on record. There is no-one like Felix Pappalardi and his Gibson violin bass. Colossal ... | |
