| New Gold Note PH 10 Slim, it’s fine to use a 22K load resistor on your MM cartridges, but just realize that you are probably rolling off the high frequencies below 20 kHz. Also, I was not sure what you were saying about the ground cable you have around your house. W... | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 It’s been decades since I have seen any version of an ET tonearm in the flesh, so the talk about leaf springs etc. leaves me in the dark. However, thanks CT and everyone else for clarifying the issue. So clearly there is an issue mating a DL 103 t... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? I think the op means he is using a SUT with 1:10 ratio and 47k on the secondary, which means cartridge sees 470 ohms. | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 My question was not about ET tonearm, really, but thanks. | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 What is the effective mass of the AudioNote Arm1? DL103 likes a VERY high effective mass; there’s almost no practical limit to how high as against almost any other cartridge I know about. Which is to say the compliance of the DL103 is VERY low. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think most of the online companies that sell Styli for what they consider to be low end MM cartridges are selling aftermarket reproductions with a completely clear conscience, because they think they are helping out people who are trying to mak... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC To the OP, I would not be too quick to blame perceived sibilance on the new cable. There are a myriad of other causes, such as VTA, VTF, the cartridge by nature, etc., that may contribute to or cause sibilance. It’s possible that the superior per... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC Sleepwalker, So we can agree not to “scare” people. Your point about letting people experiment for themselves was exactly mine. I wondered whether you were quoting me in fact. The OP just needed to know that he would do no harm to his system by... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC Just try it.if you like it , it’s good.Sleepwalker, in theory you’re correct about the importance of shielding, but in specific cases it adds nothing except unwanted capacitance. You generally cannot have “ultra” low capacitance AND shielding in t... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I’m wondering how that conductor was able to correct a musician on a note at 12,000 cps, when there is no musical instrument that produces primary tones at that high a frequency. the very top key on a piano is only eight or 9000 cps. So although ... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC There is absolutely no possible way to harm anything by trying one pair of ICs versus another between the tonearm and your phono stage. It is sad, however, that a company like audioquest, which makes audiophile interconnects, does not list the cap... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Would like to have MF2500 Astatic | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I knew the highly regarded MM and MI would disappear from the market, back when we were in the “cartridge of the week” phase of this thread, so I was buying any that interested me back then, especially NOS. Spare NOS OEM styli too, when I found them. | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? Jace, You may be with the OP emotionally, but your experience has no bearing on his. After re-reading this thread, because your post bumped it up to the front, I note that no one asked the OP about his Rega turntable. The lesser Rega turntables ar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It amazes me that I can learn something new every time I visit this thread. I’d never heard of the 4000DV, but I have a real soft spot for MI or IM cartridges. Travbrow, I like the 320s way better than the 420, but keep in mind that after 4-5 year... |
