| Any Recommendations For Line-Contact P-Mount Cartridge? Problem with P-mount, whether it be B&O or the standard type, is that the connection between the end of the tonearm and the cartridge body depends entirely and only upon the fit of the signal-carrying pins to the female receptor. I don't see ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Someone please tell me what it is about ceramic that would make you think it is an exceptionally good material for making cantilevers. Halcro, you are an engineer. Do you have any notions about this? Or perhaps you don’t agree with the premise. ... | |
| Will technology make records obsolete one day? Honestly, I thought this thread was the OP’s idea of being funny. | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Ct, I am very familiar with the TV show. Still, I am a visual learner, and I would have to see the leaf springs on an ET tonearm, in order to appreciate what you are trying to say in words. My life will be just fine if that never happens. Where is... | |
| AT ART9 cart going into a Pass XP17 There are no real rules for this, except to stay above the internal resistance of the cartridge by a factor of at least 5X, and even that rule can be broken at times. Nor is there anyway on earth to do any damage by trying different loading option... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Cantilevers have been made from aluminum, aluminum alloys, boron both hollow and solid, beryllium, titanium, sapphire or ruby, and diamond. That’s a nearly complete list, unless you want to include carbon fiber and cactus. What do you suppose is s... | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Cleeds, I don’t think we are listening to each other. I am saying that I do not think that the particular symptom reported by the OP is due to misalignment. I did not say that misalignment could not cause distortion, although I have my private dou... | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Greg, the saving grace of Stevenson alignment is low distortion at inner grooves, compared to the two popular alternatives. One could argue about alignment all day but I strongly doubt that misalignment or Stevenson alignment can account for this ... | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Both channels? Or one channel more than the other?cleeds, I think your thought about alignment is reasonable, but as was noted elsewhere, misalignment is not usually that obvious in my own experience and that of others.Also, where is the motor lo... | |
| Any Recommendations For Line-Contact P-Mount Cartridge? You may be correct about the B &O P mount system, but I think it is the standard headshell adapter method that is unique for the B&O. without the headshell adapter it is a normal p mount . But please do check to make sure I am correct on t... | |
| Any Recommendations For Line-Contact P-Mount Cartridge? SoundSmith makes modern day equivalents to the P-mount B&O MMC series of phono cartridges and also they can re-tip the original B&Os, so you can end up with a line contact stylus on a ruby cantilever. Check their website. | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Makes very good sense not to run the audio at the same time you run radio transmitters. You know what I was getting at. | |
| looking for advice to mitigate inner groove distortion Audible IGD is not necessarily "part of the deal" with vinyl. (Tracking angle error is typically greatest at the innermost grooves but this is not necessarily linearly related to audio signal distortion.) Can you describe what you hear and when y... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Sympathy for the Devil rocks on any system. | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Slimloading MMs is about both C and R. Optima are different for every cartridge or certainly every brand of cartridge. So for sure I would not say that every single MM cartridge will sound better at 100 K ohms. I have found that my old Grado TLZ ... |
