| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws So Fleib, if I am understanding what you stated above what this boils down to is being the vdh Colibri static compliance is 35 Micron/mn then we in all likely hood are looking at a dynamic compliance in the 20-22cu range. Numbers being approximate... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Fleib and Halcro, your responses were both enlightening, thanks for the indulgence. All is a bit confusing still, to me anyway. | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Not that I disagree because to be honest I am not absolutely certain but maybe someone can check with a mfg. like VDH or Lyra about that conversion. There are others who believe those numbers can be compared with accuracy.What on earth would make ... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Halcro, Yes you are right of course for the most part and I continue pursuing my education through Audiogon forums and with advice from seasoned audiophiles like your self and others here. However, I can see plainly by looking at serious systems h... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Anyone care to recommend MM and MI cartridges which have great dynamics/attack (like a MC) with detail and tonality to boot? From what I gather, this is something only really good MC do well but thought there might be exceptions.Someone mentioned ... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws All this together would seem to indicate that the stated VDH 35 Micron/mN compliance is the same as saying 35 x 10-6 cm/dyn only in different terms. If testing was done @ 100Hz. I think...Its kinda like saying .5" is the same as 1/2" Right?My math... | |
| Turntable advice-thorens questions Agreed. The EMT 928 which was essentially a highly optimized TD125 with better electronics, a fixed suspension and better motor with slightly different top plate was a legend in turntables. With mucho modifications a stock TD125 can be converted t... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Is this formula correct? If so, it would indicate that both are identical measurements only stated in different units.1 cm / dyne = 1 g ^-1.s^2 = 10^3 kg^-1.s^2thus 10^-6 cm/ dyne = 10^-3 kg^-1.s^21 um = 10^-6m1 mN= 10^-3 kg.m.s^-2therefore 1 um /... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws So, what you are saying is that most mfg.'s (Lyra, Shelter, Ortofon ect.) use dynamic compliance numbers on their spec sheets but for some reason VDH is using static compliance figures. Correct me if I am wrong here.. Is there a conversion calcula... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Fleib, thanks but not sure I know what you mean. | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Another thing about that VDH cart which is odd is that its the only low output mc I've seen around with a super soft suspension compliance. The others around are almost the complete opposite - low output mc's with low to med. compliance. 5-15mn we... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws While daydreaming about carts I'd buy if money were no object, I looked at the spec for a low output mc VDH Colibri and found something which is baffling to me -Weight (metal body) - 7gCompliance - 35/mn"Colibri metal body. Total cartridge weight ... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? The TP16 MkI w/ Magnesium headshell is somewhat underrated for a vintage arm imo but would need total rewiring to really sound its best at this point. It used good quality horizontal bearings and at med. 16.5g eff mass is compatible with alot of c... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Nothing wrong with using a Rega RB300 with the TD160 especially since you can get solid aluminum adapter plates for them from England or from Artisan Fidelity.Better yet, use a modded RB251 with better internal wire and upgraded end snub/counterwe... | |
| Thorens TD 160 or 126? Which better? Nothing complex about the TD160 mk1, all you need to do is a little digging on the net about how to check things over. Try here for starters - http://www.theanalogdept.com/thorens_dept_.htm The TD126 though is a mechanical and electrical rats nest... |
