| Family Problems... I am surprised that Chakster did not point this out, but if the stylus originally was a spherical one, then for about the cost of a new replacement you can have sound smith upgrade the cartridge with a more advanced stylus tip and possibly a sapp... | |
| Problem with phono stage This from a German magazine, measurements on the MP150, a close cousin to the MP110, gave inductance of 630mH. Note also the frequency response graphs for the given load R and C. They also mentioned the MP300 in this test, and it gave near identic... | |
| Problem with phono stage Ironically, even though Raul hates me, I will admit I own a 3160, and it is indeed superb in its performance. As a tube aficionado (one reason Raul likes to attack me), I find myself not thinking about whether the 3160 uses tubes or transistors, ... | |
| Problem with phono stage Chakster, I guess the "operating principle" of the MP cartridges is not being used to "decrease inductance", per JCarr's summation, because the MP110 has very high inductance according to any info I can find on the internet. The operating princip... | |

| Problem with phono stage As I carefully noted, I am going on information obtained from a few internet websites, one of which was LP Gear. As I have learned not to trust LP Gear for accurate information on cartridges they sell, I verified the information on another site. I... | |
| Problem with phono stage Ummmm... I am as lazy as the next guy about looking up facts before leaping to criticize or correct someone else, but according to my research (3 internet sources), the Nagaoka MP110 is a MM cartridge (Moving Magnet), as asserted by Atma, not an ... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? The reproduction B60 has those flat faces on the huge nut that fastens from below, if that’s the part to which you refer. Yes, it’s very handy for tightening but wasn’t so handy for loosening, when recently I wanted to dismount the B60. I couldn’t... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Found a photo of the Ikeda vt-vta-06. It LOOKS exactly like a B60. Whether it accommodates the same tonearms or only modern Ikeda equivalents, I do not know. Wow it’s expensive!One consolation for the high price: Accessories like this one are hig... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? N60 I think is different from B60, the one Nandric, Chak, and I have been discussing, which is dedicated for the FR64S and 66S. I think Chakster owns an N60 and a B60, both, so he is qualified to tell you the difference between them. As to the I... | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 Luxman EQ500 is great, too. Much cheaper in Tokyo, if by chance you dare to travel these days. | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 You had a good idea already with the Allnic H1202. By coming here you were sure to get some confusing and contrary advice. Because the NVO costs more is not necessarily an indication it will outperform the H1202 although it’s a worthy alternative.... | |
| Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge With a $30,000 MM phono stage like the Ypsilon, you want the best possible SUT, which might mean spending some bucks. Likewise if you go the route of a line stage with more gain than the Cary. Either way. I’ve heard the Ypsilon and it IS special. ... | |
| Problem with phono stage If the Black Cube accepts up to 4.5mV officially, I doubt that 5mV from the Nagaoka would overload it to the degree that it would cause the problems mentioned.ncdogdoc (a vet who lives in NC?) is right. The issue is the phono cables, defined as c... | |
| Problem with phono stage But shielded cables per se do not have low capacitance, compared to unshielded wire of the same type and length. So the shielding can be a trade off if you are looking for the lowest capacitance. But let’s hear what Ralph has to say to the OP. My ... |
