| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Thank you for your response.Chakster, I gather you at least prefer the CS100 to the Shure V15 Type whatever. That still leaves some wiggle room for the CS100 to be bested by many others, such as the Glanz/Astatics. I never thought much of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, In fairness to Raul, he was comparing the MF100 to the MF200, to answer my specific question. He is not saying that either is superior to the MF2500.Raul, Can you clarify what you say about the two Stantons. I know you do not share my f... | |
| Turntable Wars- Reviewers take sides Do you think so, Henry? Back in the day, HP routinely had lots of unobtainium gear with which to play and on which he leaked incomplete reports now and then, with a vague promise of more to follow, which never happened. If I still cared about su... | |
| Turntable Wars- Reviewers take sides The Acoustic Signature is only $123K. Peanuts compared to some of the other high-bling turntables out there. Doesn’t the Clearaudio cost $250K? Not to mention the 280,000-Euro Apolyt (please). And with the AS you get a tonearm with inner tubes, as... | |
| Mono Cartridge Zyx Airy 3 or Mayajima Zero Don, I, for one, also do advocate using the mono mode where it's available. However, many if not most "modern" preamplifiers do not provide such a switch. In that case, one either has to know how to create a mono signal from a stereo one, electr... | |
| New format, dislike..... I like this format more and more, as I learn to appreciate the new features. Keep it. | |
| Harvey Rosenberg: Did he or didn't he...... Just to set the record straight-er, Harvey was certainly a patron of Julius Futterman's, but Julius patented his OTL circuit in the very early 50s, probably before he ever heard of Harvey. Later on, Harvey and/or New York Audio Labs, the company ... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Thanks, Dave. I look forward to the same excellent performance from my newly repaired Ruby/OCL as you describe for yours. If that's the case, it will probably turn out to be the primary cartridge on my Beveridge system for quite a while, given m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I have no idea whether the Glanz mf31L and Astatic MF200 are brothers from another mother, or not. But one could take the specifications you quote for each as a way of proving they are not the same and turn the data around to use as evi... | |
| Mono Cartridge Zyx Airy 3 or Mayajima Zero I have heard the ZYX in another guy's system. It sounded excellent. IMO, you cannot go wrong with either choice. Having said that, I have pretty much decided to buy a Zero or Premium Be Mono, for little more than half the cost of the Zero. | |
| Techinics Sp-10 Mk2a break-in period Norm, Here's the thing: The lamp cord, as I recall, is/was hard soldered to the PS. Then when you ditched that you or someone else installed an IEC connector, to which you plugged in the Nordost PC. In all my audio experience, NO connector has ... | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty As mentioned above, I recently (less than 2 weeks ago) sent my Grace Ruby, previously OCL re-tipped by Sound Smith, back to SS for re-evaluation, more than 2 years after the original work had been done. As also previously mentioned, it never soun... | |
| old classic phono cartridges You've got several interesting cartridges there. Yes, some of them are competitive with some of the upper end cartridges (in terms of cost) that are available currently. In the end, it's a matter of taste. On the other hand, you've already abso... | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge I agree that all those are issues associated with choosing a mono cartridge or even just choosing to buy one at all. | |
| TTWeights closing their doors I suppose you could say that my feelings are selfish. The more players there are in the vinyl game, the better and more novel will be the products from which we can choose. The loss of TTW products, good, bad, or indifferent, is a loss to all of... |
