| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System Yes but all the options are out on the table for you. You can’t find a T2000 but you can obtain a suitable substitute that may even be superior to a T2000. You can source either a SUT or an active gain stage from Intact Audio. Apparently a SUT is ... | |
| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System Just listen. | |
| Humm from phono but not dc or aux ? Hum or RF? Two very different things that generally also sound different. | |
| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System Dave knows more about it than I. It’s solid state with an external power supply. I just plugged it in between the MC2000 and my Manley Steelhead MM inputs with gain set at either 50 or 55 db. There was an attempt at current drive but the input Z, ... | |
| Onzow ZeroDust reportedly leaves a residue Actually, PL warned a friend of mine who regularly posts on VA that ME leaves tangled fibriles on the stylus and cantilever. PL observed this on a cartridge my friend sent to him for evaluation. I use it nevertheless because I don't see the proble... | |
| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System Neon, Several points. (1) Jensen are pros. They understand transformers and how to build them. If you have any misgivings about shielding, ask them. I doubt you would have a problem. Same goes for Dave Slagle (Intact Audio). (2) The REASON th... | |
| Tonearm effective mass +1, Raul. In the calculation for effective mass, all mass counts, including the weight of the cartridge itself, the weight of the headshell, and the weight of any hardware. Thus using heavier than normal screws will increase the calculated effec... | |
| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System I have already suggested that you contact Intact Audio. Another source for a proper transformer would be Jensen in California. They may be able to custom build you a SUT with a high enough turns ratio to accommodate your MC2000. (Or maybe they eve... | |
| Onzow ZeroDust reportedly leaves a residue You do have to wonder when a warning comes from one company about using the products of another company in the same field of endeavor. Albeit, Wally tools do not market a competing stylus cleaner, so far as I know. If, in fact, they do, then all... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Mulv, I certainly hope you don’t “scrub” with magic eraser. I use it too, but down on the ME and up off the ME, preferably maintaining a 90 degree orientation of stylus tip to pad seems the only safe method. | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? .01uF HV ceramic cap across the switch. | |
| Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard Why worry about the tonearm? If I am following correctly, you’ve proven the problem resides with your preamp. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable And you can measure the ”rise” between 5kHz and 8kHz? Because I’d like to see your data and your methods for measurement. I don’t insist upon the superiority of either silver or copper, but I think your premise is poppycock. Have you posted your ... | |
| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 Ohv, as in all things, speed control is a matter of constancy not necessarily pinpoint accuracy. You would hear it I hope if speed was varying widely during the course of play. That’s speed “constancy” despite the variables of stylus drag, belt sl... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? What turntable? More than one brand or type? When you say “off”, do you mean power off or just platter motor off? |
