| Step Up Transformer with Moving Iron Cartridge? What Dave said. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review "Transfer functions" of various cartridges, tonearms, etc? Please define. | |
| Step Up Transformer with Moving Iron Cartridge? The Hyperion Mk2 has an internal resistance of "10-11 ohms" to quote from Soundsmith directly. Thus if it was an MC cartridge, you might expect it could be loaded with 100 ohms or higher. The recommended 470 ohm load (or higher) not only suggest... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Soix, Did you write a letter to TAS complaining about the quality of this and other reviews they publish? That would be more effective than blowing off steam here, which is not going to have any effect on them. | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review It's a beginner looking turntable at an above beginner price, if you equip it like the review sample. Also, "I did notice that a record brush slows everything down considerably, which was a minor annoyance." That ought not to be happening with th... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Since an order of magnitude is 10, I don't think there were any turntables in commercial existence for more than maybe one order of magnitude greater cost than the original ARXA (which would have been $670); was there a $6700 tt back then? Anyway... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? Best way to deal with the resonance of a counterweight is to decouple it from the pivot. | |

| Step Up Transformer with Moving Iron Cartridge? Low output moving iron (MI) cartridges usually do not mate well to SUTs because even though they can have very low internal resistance, they exhibit high inductance, 100 to 1000 times higher than LOMC cartridges. Manufacturers of such cartridges w... | |
| Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm I just wouldn’t perpetuate the myth that the OP needs precisely a 330 ohm load for his cartridge. If he goes away believing that then he won’t have learned anything.The Cello Miyabe is an MC cartridge with an internal resistance of 2.5 or 3 ohms, ... | |
| Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm Where is the OP going to find a SUT with a 1:12 step up ratio? If such a one exists off the shelf, it might be unique. Whereas there’s a plethora of choices among 1:10 SUTs. | |
| Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm A 1:10 SUT is perfect for your needs. And no cartridge has an absolute requirement for a single particular load resistance. A 1:10 SUT will result in a 470 ohm load and that is just fine for your cartridge. See above for other viable solutions. | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Bill Gates is one of the great philanthropists of our lifetimes. So, give the guy a break on the cost of his audio system, as if any of us knew what that was. | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. I am surprised if goo gone does not dissolve or distort the vinyl itself. | |
| Getting into vinyl for the first time Buy more LPs. You’re going to get sick and tired of the two you have otherwise. Listen to what you’ve got for several months. Then come back with specific questions. |
