| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And yet it appears that in Australia there is yet no law limiting the use of question marks. (We kid, because we love.) | |
| Tonearm Noise You started two threads on the same question on the same day. I guess you are a newbie. But having now read the other thread, I can see that my questions were asked and answered. Where are you now in this analysis? | |
| Tonearm Noise The "sound" is heard through your speakers. Yes? Can you also hear some noise locally emanating direct from your tonearm as it is lowered? If not, then I suspect that your proximity to the tonearm is creating a ground loop of some kind. Also, it w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, Let's smoke a peace pipe, but please do put something illegal into it. (Maybe in Australia that "something" is not so illegal.) When it comes to my actual listening, I am very much a nihilist. Arguing about theory is sort of a separate kind... | |
| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available Mo-fi, I would think he wants a high output cartridge "like" a moving magnet, so I don't know whether he would exclude an MI type from the search. An "MM" phono stage will typically deal with either unless the output is unusually low, as for a few... | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 I've been using my Walker Audio Precision Motor Controller to supply AC to my Lenco. It seems to provide a more stable speed, compared to direct connection to the wall socket. I already owned it prior to placing a deposit on Mark's putative new un... | |
| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available I really don't have any first-hand experience, but the Garrott Brothers business is alive and well in Australia, and they make an interesting range of MM or MI cartridges that are also worth consideration. And I am shocked, shocked I tell you, tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, Your retorts are ridiculous, but I love you for your persistence. Once you get a bad idea, you hold onto it for dear life. Since we are each separated from one another by thousands of miles, it is not practical to devise a real world experi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? How can I prove to your satisfaction that the tracing of a record groove by a stylus attached to a cantilever would impart energy into the cantilever and hence into structures to which the cantilever is attached, ultimately to the cartridge body? ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, As regards your little discussion with Fleib re vibrational energy emanating from a phono cartridge, I would like to add my voice to that of Fleib. IMO, you are incorrect if you think that such a phenomenon does not occur. And yes, it... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Dover, I don't. But I am surprised you were even able to perceive (visually) a 2-mm displacement, although I guess over time you could measure a larger distance and then extrapolate backwards to determine 2mm per revolution. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy "2 mm on the wall" is meaningless, unless you tell us the distance from spindle to wall surface, but in any case it sounds like the effect of stylus drag is very tiny, probably not audible and probably not worth worrying about. Unless I misremembe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree totally with Raul, which is why these discussions of resonance or "distortions" are so difficult, why each of us needs to listen carefully to the others, and also why expressing ones self as clearly as possible is a good idea. | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Dear Bifwynne: You wrote, "What I don't know is whether the cartridge is operating at optimal channel balance".... I am guessing that this was just an unfortunate choice of words. Azimuth has very little effect on "channel balance", as that term g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, My Reed has the optional azimuth adjustable headshell. My inspection of it suggests to me that it is firmly imbedded into the wood arm wand, not just one fastener. Thus the mechanical interface between it and the wood seems to be a bit be... |
