| Lyra Delos suspension aging? Hi Moonglum: If you have any worries about the condition of your Delos' suspension, you can send it back to us (preferably via the dealer that you purchased it from). We will inspect it, and if the cartridge's condition requires it, clean out any ... | |
| Rega RP10 VTA shims Hi Theo: Fluxbusters can be divided into two types. The first type involve shorting the cartridge output into itself while playing, and therefore the amount of current pushed through the cartridge coils is limited to whatever the cartridge can pro... | |
| Rega RP10 VTA shims Hi Theo: I seem to have overlooked this question from you:>On the demag or degaussing concern, what is your thought on the method of shorting the leads by touching the RCA connectors?Shorting the cartridge while playing limits the amount of cur... | |
| Stand out phono stages Ralph (Atmasphere) wrote:>All preamps are class A.For discrete circuits, this is true. OTOH, the vast majority of opamps only have a very small output range in which they run in class A. If the signal amplitude exceeds that range, the opamp's o... | |
| Rega RP10 VTA shims Hi Vinylkid: These days I try to keep the height and stylus-to-mounting-screws distance as similar as possible across all of our cartridges.I just looked at my CAD drawings, and according to those, the height range of the Delos should fall between... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pasted the same link as before by mistake!The correct link:https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phileweb.com%2Fnews%2Faudio%2F201406%2F02%2F14541.html&edit-te... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In connection to the above, I should add that Audio-Technica has already implemented price increases earlier this year for other cartridge models, so the net result appears to be an across-the-board price increase.Link to translation from Japanese... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? All: Audio-Technica has announced a price increase for several of its VM cartridges; AT5V, AT100E, AT100E/G, and AT150MLX. Prices for the associated replacement styli will also increase. The higher prices are for Japan, but may eventually include ... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven I also listen to live music (both unamplified and amplified) on a frequent basis, and while I agree with Lewm on the remarkable dynamics, his comments on imaging are misleading. What I find is that imaging of live music is level-dependent - it ten... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My experience with test LPs is that they often don't agree; sometimes the differences are minor, sometimes they are bigger. Use two different test records (of good quality) and you'll get two different frequency response curves. Likewise for cross... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib:>The mechanical performance overwhelms the electrical and shunt capacitance combined with inductance serves to lower high frequency resonance.Overwhelm is not the appropriate word. I have some experience designing MM cartridges (for ot... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib: Cartridge suspensions should only allow vertical, horizontal and 45-degree flexing modes, but in reality nearly all cartridge suspensions also allow twisting, and if a given suspension doesn't contain a tension wire, fore-aft motion as w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Nandric:>everyone who can check the data with measuring instruments should get the same result. That is why such data are considered to be objective.This assumption may be suspect with phono cartridges, inasmuch as various measurable para... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib:>it appears to be quite different from Technics' boron tube cantilevers and would seem to support the notion that there was more than just one source.Could be. It also could be that the boron for Denon and the boron for Technics were b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib: Cantilever assemblies can be built completely by the cantilever manufacturer, but it is not unusual for the cartridge manufacturer to provide raw materials and/or prefabricated components so that the cantilever manufacturer can complete ... |
