| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Chakster, This thread was initiated several years ago by dgob, after he purchased a Glanz G5. Apparently that's a cartridge with an integrated headshell. Apparently also there is at least one other integrated headshell Glanz with a single-digit ... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Larry. Thx for your input. The paper you cite is interesting. But I guess I pay more attention than you did to the first paragraph, with all its qualifications. It clearly states that the phenomenon exhibited by the experiments done for this paper... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Duh! That's what I mean about changes in velocity, which are "accelerations" that generate a force in the horizontal plane. As the stylus bangs into the vinyl while traversing the modulations, the force due to acceleration ADDs to the "normal forc... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Mijo,check it out:F = Fn*mu, where F is the force needed to counter friction between two bodies in motion with respect to each other.Fn is the normal force ( meaning VTF in this argument).mu is the coefficient of friction.Where do you see velocity... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, As regards your post of 04/06 at 1:02 PM, what am I wrong about? It is my opinion that the LPM320 is a great cartridge based on many hours of listening and comparing it to 4-5 other highly regarded MM/MI cartridges and several other very exp... | |
| Cartridge Impedance Let's see, I split the infinitive "to annoy". But most people don't know what an infinitive is, these days. And the rule on that has loosened by convention. What else?Seriously, my message is that if you learn something more than merely the answ... | |
| Worth it to try a SUT with a 103R and Herron VTPH-2? So I assume your Herron already provides sufficient gain for the 103R. Yet you're thinking about interposing a SUT between the two, presumably using the MM section of your Herron. My bias is that this would be a step in the wrong direction, but ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think Dimitry hit the nail on the head. We are splitting hairs based on structural elements, testing, etc, and drawing profound conclusions from our own listening tests, but we can never know how cartridge A really compared to cartridge B when ... | |
| Cartridge Impedance Just to be more pedantic so as to possibly annoy the OP, "impedance" is DUE to the inductance and capacitance coupled with the resistances. If there were no reactive components, i.e., capacitance and inductance, then one would only have to deal w... | |
| Cartridge Impedance Raul, I beg to differ. Most hi-gain phono stages are "stressed" by using a high input resistance, e.g., 47K ohms, rather than using a conservative 100R with a typical LOMC. Well designed high gain phono stages tolerate anything up to 47K without... | |
| Cartridge Impedance As a rule of thumb, the input resistance of the phono stage should be about 10X the internal resistance of the phono cartridge, to assure a flat response from 20Hz to 20kHz, all other things being equal. So, first you have to know the internal res... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, last night I was Internet surfing in order to acquire some technical information about my Acutex cartridges. In the course of that search, I came upon posts from you to this thread written in 2010. In those posts, you evaluated the Acutex L... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64 Black Limited Edition At any rate, all 64fx's are black. Either that or black is the norm for that particular model. Other differences between fx and S versions have been mentioned in previous posts. | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Apparently the OP is on vacation.tz, You have successfully come up with an explanation for the OP’s problem that is even more unlikely or far-fetched than my own or any of the others. Are there any data suggesting that stylus shape and alignment a... | |
| belt ? or Dental Floss for turntable Because there is no issue too silly for us audiophiles to take seriously. In so saying, I include myself. |
