| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Just so you know, when I remarked that the experiences of our group with MM/MI cartridges vs MC ones has led me to wonder whether there was an association between solid state electronics and favorable impressions of MM cartridges, I in no wa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, yesterday I finally started again to listen to LPs with everything repaired in my system. (There were quite a few unrelated problems, most of which were my own fault. Such are the perils of DIY.) Anyway, my first revelation is regarding the ... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Digital multimeter solamente won't get you there without a lot of extra effort. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, I've got virtually the same Lenco tt (in slate plinth with PTP), and I just bought an EPA500 to go with it. I hope to have some good fun with that. Great minds think alike. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dertonearm, My questions were not meant as a form of interrogation or to indicate disagreement. I was just trying to understand your original post. What you have written above in response (your earliest post of 12-18-10) is gibberish, frankly... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Great news for you, Audiorader. Like Almarg, I am wondering how it could be that the function of the Foz is turntable dependent. More likely there is some intermittent issue with the Foz so that it malfunctions only some of the time. I think I wil... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, Forget cost. What two cartridges are you talking about and what electronics do you use downstream? (By the way, it seems that "messing with loading" is not the sole province of the MC user.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dertonearm, I think it was you who programmed Axel. You both may be correct, but a LOMC has a vanishingly low inductance, orders of magnitude lower than any MM cartridge. Can one actually find SUTs with such low inductance that still give enough g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Interesting point. I myself have been wondering whether there was a correlation between solid state electronics and favorable impressions of MM/MI cartridges vs MC ones, and vice-versa for tubes. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Listener614, You have (or had?) a nice vintage audio system from front to back, so it is rather surprising that you reject the notion that vintage MM and MI cartridges have merit. I personally take no absolutist position as regards the different t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dertonearm, Thanks for the reference to the Klyne review. The pertinent information is all on page 5. In a nutshell, Klyne favors loading LOMCs with no less than 1000 ohms and up to 47K ohms. He compensates for the possible resulting resonant peak... | |
| Let's hear some cheers fom Avid Acutus fans Great table according to all sources. Never read a bad word about it. But I never saw one in the flesh, much less heard one. | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? Addendum: The Jasmine 2.0SE is solid state, not tubes. Costs $500, so fits all your desires. Question to 213Cobra: The 2.0 Mk II is said on the Jasmine website to be an upward evolution of the 2.0SE, but on eBay the 2.0SE costs a few bucks more th... | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? I tend to agree with the cognoscenti that the Ayre P5Xe, Xono, and JLTi may stand above some of the rest, all of which are also fine. I am pleased with my P5Xe, but I have no basis for claiming it is superior to either of the other two. I never he... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Audiorader, I am not sure this is even important, but when you say that the problem switched from one side to the other after you switched the pairs of leads at the cartridge clips, do you mean as measured by the Foz or did you also listen to some... |
