| Goldring vs. Ortofon - Thoughts? Inna, I think you're mistaken about Ortofon being "bright".If by bright, you mean "open with clear extension", then maybe I understand (although bright would a misnomer).I think it's a fair assessment to say that a Vivo Blue is less silky than a G... | |
| another headshell for Ortofon TA-110 Maybe I should elaborate a bit. The LH-8000 is a Urushi lacquered Japanese oak headshell. The finger lift can be removed to save a little extra mass as well. It is designed to be a perfect match with our arms, although I'm sure there are other gre... | |
| another headshell for Ortofon TA-110 Try an LH-8000, it's 9.5 grams.Louis/ortofon | |
| Ortofon Silver Meister SPU Hi Fromunda,Great cartridge for a TD-124 and SMG-212.You will, however, need to think about a different method of amplification. The Meister Silver has an output of 0.2mV, which is too low for use with the MC section of the Tube Box (which only do... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black on a SME 3009 S2 Improved Hello Greg,This should be a fine choice. The V15 was known to be a rather high compliance cartridge, as is the 2M Black.If my memory serves me correctly, the SME 3009 S2i is a fairly low mass arm. That should be a good combination.If you have any ... | |
| Clearaudio Concept with Ortofon 2M Bronze Hey Jim,I work for Ortofon, so maybe I can shed some light on your question.The 2M Bronze is designed for all medium-mass arms.Compliance, while a meaningful figure, is always examined within the context of the cartridge weight.Since the 2M Bronze... | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 @ DertonarmVery interesting information, indeed. Thanks! | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 @Dougdeacon, agreed, although you'd be pretty close if the record was mastered according to IEC standards. | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 @ Downunder,Sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied with my suggestions to help set up your cartridge. I'm also sorry to hear that you're not willing to read up on the numerous articles that provide advanced insight into SRA optimization for all ca... | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 The A90 has been the subject of multiple articles by Michael Fremer which explain just how critical the SRA/VTA is during setup. These articles go as far as to explain these advanced setup techniques and advocate the use of a USB digital microscop... | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 I don't think it's a stretch at all to suggest that a review sample was not set up to its fullest capability, when considering the known history of the Replicant 100 diamond. I also don't think it was a faulty cartridge, as the text of the review ... | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 The A90 was, without a doubt, setup incorrectly.It's no secret that the Replicant 100 is an extremely demanding stylus profile in terms of setup. Those who are willing to spend a little time and patience, especially with the SRA, will be rewarded.... | |
| Mono cartridge classification CG25 and CG65 are the only true mono models that Ortofon makes, and they have no vertical compliance whatsoever. In theory, a spin on a stereo record would not have positive consequences for the vinyl.In the SPU Mono GM MKII, not only is it a high... | |
| Mono cartridge classification Hey sorry I'm late to the party.The Ortofon CG 25 DI MKII and CG 65 cartridges are SPU-styled (although SPU technically stands for Stereo Pick Up). Some places refer to these as MPU cartridges (M meaning 'Mono').The CG 25 has a 25 micrometer diame... | |
| Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm Arm mass for AS-309S is 3.5-4g without headshell.The Ortofon 2M Black might be too compliant for this arm... If you use a really light headshell (6-7g or less) you might get away with it. Not sure about the Shelter because the compliance ratings a... |
