| Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII The obvious question is, are you listening to it with or without that switch in play? If it sounds bad with the switch in play, have you tried the other switch position? Is there any difference at all in sound quality, with vs without the "gain re... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, Thank you so much for your last couple of posts comparing high quality MCs to some of the ones we have been discussing here. It puts a perspective on things that helps my decision-making.Timeltel (Thom), Can you say what is the turns ratio ... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? I did some internet research. Apparently the electrostatic charge on the surface of an LP can act like an electromagnet with respect to the stationary cartridge, when the LP is in rotation. I guess I can buy that idea. However, if you do a good jo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Al. Here are the specifics: The typical inductance of an MM cartridge is on the order of hundreds of mH, and the internal resistance is tens of ohms. The inductance of the 980LZS is 1mH, and its internal resistance is 3 ohms. The typical i... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Based only on my reading, which means to say "based on the opinions of others whom I do not even know" (i.e., flimsy logic) and the technical aspects of its design, I would choose the Miyajima Premium Be. The question in my mind is whether one eve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thom, On second reading, I do understand your post, I think. Anyway, 100R does not do justice to the 980LZS in my system. In my friend's system WITH the SUT, the cartridge is seeing about 270R, and that is evidently not sufficient either to b... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, You didn't ask me, but I have used SAEC SS300 and Boston Audio Mat2 on my SP10s. Both are a clear upgrade over the factory rubber mat, but I have come to slightly prefer the Boston Audio. I also use a Mat1 on my Lenco. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, I am sure the Atlas is a great cartridge, at $9500. But for Fremer it is merely his flavor of the month. Don't take it too seriously.Dear Thom, I must confess I cannot make heads or tails out of your post just above Jorsan's on 4-26. ... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Elizabeth, Thanks, but I was not asking for instructions. I was merely pointing out to the OP that he or she needs to know how to use an off the shelf degausser, properly. The product I was trying to think of is the Furutech, where it looks like a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regarding the Stanton 980LZS or the 981LZS: A friend purchased an NOS 981LZS from pickup naalden (Cris). He uses a SUT. Suffice to say that he is not happy with the sound he gets via the SUT. He says it sounds closed in and lacks "transparency". T... | |
| Lenco Restorers in the US? Kbuzz, Try "Lenco parts" or something like that, on eBay. You may conjure up Mirko. | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Blue Skies, there has been at least one good, informative thread on this issue. You may be able to find it by doing a search here. The sum and substance of it was that those who degauss mostly think they can hear a difference. Those who use very e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Froggie, OK. Semantics got in the way of our understanding each other. When you wrote "3D" and based on your subsequent language, I thought you were talking about the 3D image of a trumpet per se. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I never thought about a single instrument having a "3D" aspect. I am satisfied if and when my audio system can give me a sense of the space around that instrument, rather than of its dimensions. For example, the differences among the sounds of tha... | |
| Turning lead into gold ? I believe it is impossible for most of us to make a totally subjective judgement after we have just spent a great deal of money on a new addition to the audio system. Just the fact that you've made the financial commitment will bias you to fall in... |
