| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm buoyed by the reports of fairly flat in-room FR of recent Walshes. I'm certainly intrigued.Now, if the goal of hi-fi [to the source material] is truly that, then good active speakers are far superior to any passive. Audiophiles' preference for... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Let it suffice to say that in this age of self-obsessed public blog-wrangling with personal issues and decisions, if you do this, expect to be subject to criticism.It was the OP's gushing and OTT exclamations re the Ohms when he first heard them t... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? This thread is a great expose of audiophilia nervosa. It emphasizes perfectly how audiophiles are nearly unable to seperate better from different sound. Note the OP's initial OTT excitement over the MWTs, as followed by the rollercoaster ride that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? From Ortofon Denmark; they had to do a bit of sleuthing to find out what the cartidge was; first they denied ever hearing of it:From the picture we've concluded it is a VMS20 MKII, but with a different front stylus assembly.A model was made with a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Toufu, you're getting very audible inner groove distortion on all your records with a pivoting arm except for a brief moment twice per side; you need an airbearing linear tracker to get rid of it and to really cut down on vinyl playback distortion... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel, keep us posted on the comparison with the M20--the M50 is a second choice for me!Thanks! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Gaugain, if you had problems with the Ortofon, removed it, installed another pickup without changing anything and had no problems, then you certainly have a broken Ortofon. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rayr2, if you see this fine debate this way, you're a pretty funny guy. Are you the little knight in shining armour coming in to rescue the poor Stepford Wives? The lone cry of sanity in the wilderness? Sorry, you're not....Raul's thread is one of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? On Pickups and Aging: I repost this in this thread as I thought it pertinent. I wrote Ortofon in Danish in Denmark and asked them whether pickups age by sitting re my possible use of a NOS M20FL, and received the following answer from an engineer:... | |
| NOS cartridges Rayr2 et al, you're misinformed re using old NOS cartridges. I wrote Ortofon in Danish in Denmark and asked them this very question re using a NOS M20FL, and received the following answer from an engineer:"There's nothing that ages if the pickup i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy 23, you're completely missing the boat and the point. REG's article is completely against the grain of the strong MC bias in high end journalism; if you'd read the article you'd know that.VdH is one of the world's great top 5 audio designers... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In light of Werner Ogier's fine article addressing variable loading of MMs, I find the blanket recommendation of loading ALL MMs at 100Kohm/100Pf misleading. See: http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/load_the_magnets_e.html I recall objections to doi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy123, pretty strange response; are you running to the thread starter to censor the thread? Do you know who REG is, and/or did you read his article?Also, I find it unnecessary to be demonstrative about posters' abilities to afford gear. What so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Guys,Don't know if I saw references in this thread to this great TAS article by REG from the late 80s--apparently he and other top recording industry professionals were on to this issue of MMs being more true to fidelity than MCs several decades a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Really great thread, guys--I've been up until about 3 AM the last few nights reading it, and I'm inspired! |
