| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, I encountered fierce magnetic forces in the horizontal plane but with a little help from Ethel, my assistant we tamed them. However, we had a minor drawback. The mission failed. The last feet was relatively easy to adjust but the magnets p... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Fleib, Great ! That link works. Luckily our Luckydog is a scientist and listens vinyl. My hat off to him as well. I have measured the effective mass of my SME III for SHURE´s topdog (excuse the clumsy expression) at 1.2 g VTF and yes, this formula... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth The previous equation seems insufficient to me because I can´t add VTF anywhere, maybe my old computer can´t download the whole thing ? And I can´t get the whole picture of the situation :/This explains better:https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rc... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Tony & Lewm, Don´t worry, The Calculation exists. The question is who has the ability to find out the Equation and solve the mystery ;)We must call Stephen Hawking immediately !My hat off to Mark Kelly as well.Btw, one of my test records is 2 ... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Tony, I re-read you statement more closely but don´t agree about "near infinite energy out", I assume this is a typing error ? It´s annoying that one can´t edit own posts shortly afterwards, we all make typing errors occasionally.Anyway, the Equat... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Bravo Tony `Ö´ Can´t agree more on everything you say.It is exactly the same what I have experienced over the decades. The magic of 10 Hz +/-2. We must aim exactly there. Everything else is superstition. The SME III and all series have 2 options ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fascinating :} | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth Good eveningThe Equation for Resonant Frequency in a pivoting TA is quite simple. It depends on the total mass of tonearm (tonearm wand + cartridge) M (g) & cart´s compliance C (just quantity of units alone) F(Hz) = 1000 /(6.28x the square roo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Agree about the B&O, I would suggest to glue the adapter permanently to it, of course in the case you actually would use it for a longer period. Occasionally I can edit my posts, usually not. | |
| Recommend a cartridge for my new TT I very much agree with Johnnyb53 about top AT carts but THE BEST sub $1K is The SHURE ULTRA 500 with Micro Ridge stylus, at this very moment on eBay. For replacement styli the JICO/SAS (if needed), it´s even slightly better than the original Micro... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? LOL. Schubert, I like your back to basics thoughts. Obviously you are a fan of classic music but your attitude is kinda punkish. I´m a fan of prog rock but Yes actually had kinda punkish attitude too when they came back with vengeance, "Going for ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ... and load capacitance 100pF, 200pF, 300pF, 420pF, 520pF :/Why always starting with 100 pF, why not lower values like 10 pF, 50 pF, 100 pF, 150 pF, 200 pF ?!? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewn, I tried to call my Hi-Fi specialist and ask about my preamp´s new inherent life but he doesn´t answer his business mobile (probably on holiday). I will try to contact him later...Yes, top MM ATs recommend 100 -200 pF. See what´s this happy o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I never said using 20 pF. 40 pF with 20K.I have measured many times that the 100 cm long uninterrupted silver wire from cart leads to phono input has 25 pF at maximum (depends on the actual measurement that´s taking place, it usually varies ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? First, I have only 5 MM carts left so my testimony refers these only. I have no idea how, say a Stanton would perform at very low cap & imp values. And I understand that a cart´s performance depends on the preamp characteristics too. My preamp... |
