| SUT Interconnects I think that bit of double talk refers to the dielectric effect. Different dielectrics ( insulation) will affect the capacitance of the cable which in turn affects frequency response. Same goes for the spacing between the conductors and the geomet... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? High mileage cars tend to lose a little compression and therefore lose the requirement for high octane fuel. I don’t know whether this applies to Elliot’s report or not. | |
| SUT Interconnects No, westcoast, capacitance does not change with frequency. What you are thinking about is that because of capacitance, impedance changes with frequency. (Impedance of a capacitor is infinite at DC and goes down as frequency goes up, by an amount... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Sorry, Doggie, I was editing my post while you submitted yours. Ortofon's use of the term "dual coil mono" sounds like the kind of double talk I read when I researched the Quintet mono. In other words, it sounds like code for a bridged stereo cart... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? The difference between what we are calling a true mono cartridge and a stereo cartridge that has been bridged to produce a mono signal in both channels is presumably that the true mono cartridge has had one of the pair of coils that serve each cha... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Here’s a question. Suppose you have a mono cartridge but don’t know whether it’s a true mono or a bridged stereo type. How would you tell the difference? | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? If you look at graphs of the various curves generated by the different algorithms, they are not terribly different from one another, because after all the goal was essentially the same. So I might be happily listening to some of my 50s mono LPs w... | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design Pickering is listed in the legend to your figure after point #2, as an example of "moving magnet". As I am sure you know, Pickering and Stanton were associated with each other. Most models of Pickering have a corresponding model among Stanton cart... | |
| SUT Interconnects What Atmasphere said, but be sure to disconnect the cable at both ends before taking a measurement. For a balanced cable, the measurement between pins 2 and 3 (positive to negative phase) will be equal to about 0.5X the capacitance between pin 2 ... | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design Pickering and Stanton are MM, so far as I know. All of them. | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design Peter L started out, I think, repairing B&O cartridges, which are all MI types, and the best of them can compete with any modern cartridge, IMO. That, I am guessing is how he got into the MI business. Even now he makes the SMMC line which is a... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? I don't have any phono stages with options for the de-emphasis curve. They are all RIAA. And since this one pair of LPs on EMI are the only LPs where I have ever noticed a possible problem, it has not and will not be worth my while to buy one. ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? Not a groove expert. I only have read what I wrote, which only applies to the 33 rpm era post ~1948. | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? A "two channel mono phono preamp" is any phono preamp or phono driving a linestage where the mono mode is engaged, when you feed that phono section with a true mono cartridge. Lalitk, I don’t understand exactly what you are after. If you want to g... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? "Mono LPs pressed from 1948 until the early-mid 60’s have a groove width of 1mil. Mono LPs pressed after the mid 60’s and including current mono reissue LPs have a groove width of .07mil...a smaller groove width. " Not that it matters much, beca... |
