| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp Houston, Just look at the selector switch. In the MM mode you can select any of many possible load resistances, from 47K on down. Since my own unit is not in front of me, I cannot recall the lower limit available. For fun, you might start at 47... | |
| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp Rooze, the point is that max gain via either MM or MC inputs on the Steelhead is the same. Only difference is the range of load resistance available in each case. Using MM you can load an LOMC at 47K, if you like. Using MC inputs, the max R is 400... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever Photos are nicely done but useless for evaluation of the stylus tip, nevertheless I’d suggest a cleaning. | |
| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp The “MM” input on the Steelhead essentially bypasses the autoformers used to achieve low input impedances typically used for LOMC cartridges. Those low impedance autoformers are accessed via the two pairs of MC inputs. So if you want to load a LO... | |
| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp The MM input on the Steelhead can provide anywhere from 50 to 65db of gain, input to output. Input resistance and capacitance are adjustable on the front panel. So nearly any cartridge can be accommodated. Do you have an owner manual? | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm To comment on the observable design and construction of a tonearm without necessarily speculating on its putative sonic character is no sin. If it is, we cannot have a conversation, since there are very few products, let alone tonearms we’ve all h... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Just for the record, Larry, I did not use the word ”should” in reference to the desired location of the pivot and CW to the LP surface. I only said, or intended to say, that those are two theoretical goals of a modern design. I probably should hav... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II I repeat, stay away. | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Dear Raul, I recently posted a URL from Wiki that contains a figure which I thought is instructional in understanding Lenz' Law. Some describe Lenz' Law as the electromagnetic equivalent of Newton's Third Law of Motion. My opinion-less post with ... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Using only the photos attached to the review, it seems that neither the pivot nor the counterweight lie in the plane of the LP surface. Nor is the CW obviously decoupled from the pivot. Those are all commonly accepted good practices observed by ne... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Figure from the Wiki page on Lenz Law. I was driven to read about it after Dave mentioned it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz%27s_law | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? I didn't know you were so angry, in general. Synergistic Research pisses me off much more than Lloyd Walker ever could. But SR has staunch supporters. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? New vinyl from Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds, Tone Poet, etc. Used vinyl from vendors that appear annually at the Capital Audio Fest, where I can personally inspect the LP before purchase. Never from eBay unless I am "feeling lucky". Or when I ... | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? I wish I were as certain of most anything as you are of everything, Mijo. Yes, I laugh at demagnetizing LPs, yet there are some who swear it made their LP sound better. And there were claims made that tiny bits of ferrous material do get into the ... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape Following the advice of Raul, I finally sent my Urushi off to Expert Stylus. In my opinion, they were very professional from start to finish. They determined that the OEM cantilever and suspension were in fine shape and did not need work. They the... |
