| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tim, I totally agree with you. While my wife and I were waiting for the show to start, I noticed that the house audio system included a mixer that must have at least 32 channels. I said aloud to my wife, "I wonder why they would need such a huge n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Obviously, I hope, I was joking with In-shore who accidentally posted the same post 3 consecutive times. Each "Not I" was a response to each of those 3 posts. Just trying to inject a little levity. After all, this topic is not so serious to begin ... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? I am not saying any of these are "perfect":Koetsu Urushi (Haven't listened to mine in about a year; others laugh at me for liking it.)Ortofon MC7500 (a bit on the dry side)Stanton 980LZSGrace RubyI know for sure there are better ones out there. No... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Not I.Not I.Not I.Sorry. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is where I admit that before I knew any better, I tested the internal resistance of my Koetsu Urushi using a very cheap-ish meter handed to me by an audio salesman in Tokyo. I had ordered the cartridge from this dealer so its delivery would c... | |
| Review: ZYX UNIverse II Cartridge Having recently and repeatedly listened to a ZYX UNIverse (the original) in a system using a tonearm, turntable, and phono stage (Doshi) nearly identical to Doug's, I can say that his verbal description of the sound of that cartridge is near perfe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, You keep talking about "voltage". There is no voltage difference to be measured across the pins of a disconnected cartridge. I would think you are measuring resistance, in ohms. But maybe I am totally out to lunch (not unusual). You may b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Still, not recommended. Specifically, when you use any meter to measure resistance (not voltage), the meter puts out a current in order to sense resistance to flow of current. The current put out by many volt-ohmmeters is sufficient in magnitude t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, I just sent you an email re your damaged cartridges. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, Love that line about the Oppo and MacDonald's. For the record, I have not eaten at MacDonald's (except for a cup of coffee and a, you should pardon the expression, "breakfast muffin") since 1985. Keep in mind that it was not I who brought u... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes, I own a few hundred CDs and SACDs (the latter because the Sony SCD777ES was their "flagship" SACD player, second only to the SCD1). And I am very curious to sample hi-rez digital off the internet, as well as to be able to play my own CDs and ... | |
| Can a heavy tonearm be agile ? Gosh, I don't know if the RS-A1 is "one of the lighter tonearms". That large counter-weight dangling at some distance from the pivot point would add in a big way to the effective mass. But in general, I also think it's foolish to make such general... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? An interesting cartridge of obscure origin can be a "bargain" to someone who owns no or only a few other cartridges, but what is it to those of us (notice I include myself) who have more than a dozen other cartridges of similar or better pedigree?... | |
| New Shelter 901-iii At current exchange rates, 128K yen is more than $1500. Be sure you want it. | |
| What Sets Price on Turntables? Isaac, I do believe that rrog was being facetious, and rightly so. But for less than $600, you can probably find a Lenco idler. This is not to say that you must not enjoy what you have. |
