| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? So, did you exchange the original Ortofon RF297 arm for an EMT RF297? What don't I understand? My only point was and is that there is in reality no such thing as a "mono" tonearm, provided one is willing to re-wire. I would have guessed that re-... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Pcosta, “Made for mono use” when applied to a tonearm can only mean that it is wired for true mono, with only two signal carrying conductors between headshell and the tonearm output single RCA plug. That situation is easily rectifiable by any of ... | |
| Dynavector XX2 mk2 vs Lyra DELOS which is better? I apologize if this sounds dismissive, but only you can decide between those two cartridges in your system with your own ears, because they are fairly close together in performance level. You can collect opinions here all day long, and you probabl... | |
| MC loading at 47K No. | |
| MC loading at 47K I was thinking last night that results might to some degree depend upon the input capacitance of the first gain stage in your phono section. Both of my phono stages use a cascode input. In a cascode, the gain element that receives the incoming si... | |
| MC loading at 47K Most audiophiles have a Pavlovian response to the question of how to load an MC cartridge. They've been told for so long and from so many sources to use a low value resistor (typically 100R or some resistance that is about 10X the internal resist... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review I agree with the general principle that basic upgrades (like buying a better sounding cartridge or a better sounding anything) are generally a better way to go, in terms of pleasure per dollar, to spending on tweaks (like the Enabler or the SR PDT... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Chakster, correct me if I’m wrong but the subject of this thread seems to be the OL cartridge enabler, not your personal obsession with certain MM cartridges.If the OP switches to the Hana, which is said to be excellent by those who have heard it,... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Blue Point Special. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Don’t buy new from foreign dealer on eBay.And BPS is not the best option, to put it as diplomatically as I can. | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Mijo, Besides your insistence and your claim that the Last products "smell" like Freon, you have presented no evidence for your claim beyond your observation that it evaporates without leaving a residue. I guess we're going in circles, but many s... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Miller, Do you really, really, really think the SR PHT makes a "significant" improvement in your vinyl reproduction? Sorry for the off-topic diversion. Based on Mijo's description of what the enabler is and is supposed to do, which really ought ... | |
| advice for mono cartridge In practice, who is going to have more than one mono cartridge mounted up and ready for use? Only a mono-phile who hates stereo, and there's not many in that category. So most of us will choose one mono cartridge and live with it. I already men... | |
| advice for mono cartridge I see your point for 78s and late 1940s and I don’t know about 45s of the 50s, but I own nothing in any of those categories. 0.7 mil or exotic nonconical stylus is fine for my needs. And I do insist upon 2 channels of mono output, however it’s ach... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? It can be kept in the liquid phase when under high pressure, but I agree with your basic point as regards Stylast. |
