| The Palladian-A step beyond Bluewolf, I admire your desire for peace and tranquility. However, it's the squabbling that makes these threads interminably long, thought provoking, and occasionally funny. Some of us some of the time have no patience with the fact that others ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am not at all saying that everyone else should do as I do, by the way. Just reporting a surprising observation. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Why an MC cartridge is not so sensitive to load resistance has to do with the fact that its resonant frequency is very very high, way outside the audio bandwidth, largely because its inductance is about 1000X lower than that of a typical MM ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sampsa, Thanks for the correction. I was under the impression that both current and voltage were different, East vs West, in Japan. | |
| Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200 One good thing about running a low compliance cartridge in a nominally low effective mass tonearm: It's a simple matter to add mass to the tonearm. In the crudest solution, you could simply tape a penny or a nickel to the headshell, depending upo... | |
| Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM Stringreen, Interesting to read your post about the Windfield. I own a rather more rare now vintage Ortofon, the MC7500, which I think pre-dates the Windfield, may be the "father" of the Windfield. It hadn't been in use much for the last few yea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, I am going ga-ga over my SoundSmith re-tipped Grace Ruby, with OCL stylus. At first it was rather clinical sounding, almost edgy, but after about 20 hours, it seems to have undergone a sea change. Competes with anything else I own. An... | |

| Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200 You never made clear: old SL1200 or new SL1200? The new model may be another option for you, if you want to upgrade. Although Technics made them to look the same and gave them the same name, the new SL1200 should sound noticeably superior to the... | |
| Periodic noise My wife signed us up for Verizon Fios. At one point, the Fios was going down with regularity, until I finally investigated our circuit breaker box, where they had installed an AC outlet to power their system, which is a simple plug-in. It was ea... | |
| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions Palasr, Thank you for the correction regarding the EA230. I was just guessing at the model name, when I told the story about the Berning amplifier that produced the clicking noise on the speakers, when it was too close to the Modulus preamplifier... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond For me, it may be no coincidence that the MC cartridges I like most have tended to be those with high-ish compliance, compared to their brethren. | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Maybe because I have to be concerned with exact calculations and minutiae of other kinds in my work life, I tend to be lazy about facing exactitude in my hobbies. Seems to me that no matter what anyone can do, no matter how great a genius or how ... | |
| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions Lancelock,The unique experience with the Berning design is probably because DB himself is just smarter than anyone else in the industry. Quiet and modest, as well. (I have met him a few times in my life, but I have none of his gear currently, and... | |
