| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Axel, A90 vs M20FL Super? Any comments? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Do any of you SL1200 users know the effective mass of the supplied tonearm? That would be helpful. I am running my M20FL Super in my Dynavector DV505 tonearm. The headshell weighs about 11gm, as I think I wrote earlier. Since the "arm" is almost a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, It was the P100LE that I was curious about. When you found it you were excited and indicated here that it was top of the line, above the P8ES. I've got an NOS P8E stylus assembly, but the one that came on my used P8ES cartridge has a slightl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pivot end up or "positive VTA" seems to be the common preference. How far up is a matter of listening, I guess. And one M20FL user (Siniy123) likes his flat, i.e., tonearm parallel to LP. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Mike, I did not wish to play that game of value for money. I actually think that the M20FL Super is delightful in its own rite/right/wright (never knew which form was correct for this phrase). Just consider it as another cartridge, if you get a ch... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out I don't know how the RCA inputs on the GCPH are configured. They COULD be set up for balanced mode, IF the ground connection on the RCA actually carries the negative phase of the audio signal. To test this, you could see whether there is electrica... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Axel, I do agree with you, but I did not wish to start an argument. So I kept the number well below the cost of top-flight LOMC cartridges so as not to irritate anyone. Mike Lavigne, you really should try an M20FL Super, especially on your Garrard... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Is it superior to the Ortofon M20FL Super? (KIdding, guys.) I own an MC7500 that I am very fond of as well and which has qualities similar to those you guys are describing. I never owned an Ortofon cartridge until I recently acquired these two, an... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out Dear Rfsayles, Yes, most cartridges, with very few exceptions, are inherently balanced devices. Neither side of the output wires are grounded. In an MC cartridge, the two outputs come from either end of the coil, etc.By the way, I had a wonderful ... | |
| RS-A1 set up Go to Vinyl Engine. There you will find an English translation of the owners manual. But all you really need to know is that "underhang" is correct. The recommendation is that the distance between the spindle and the stylus tip should be 19.5mm (i... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out I went to the Cambridge Audio website. It is really impossible to tell from the verbiage on the website whether the actual circuit is a balanced one or not. However, the comment in the letter, that the XLR input "gives cancellation to common mode ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK. So what he is really saying is that in the "right" tonearm, there is one "right" VTF. What's the effective mass of the Linn Akito tonearm? One beauty of the Dynavector DV505 (or any tonearm with interchangeable headshells) is that one can cont... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Ray, Am I having deja vu, or did you not make a similar comment the first time I mentioned the TLZ on this thread a few months ago? I think you said that some guy on a Grado thread was adamant that the VTF had to be 1.62 or 1.65 gm for best r... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have to say that I so enjoy the Ortofon M20FL Super that I still have not auditioned any of the other MM/MI cartridges I collected before starting to listen to them. This includes an NOS B&O MMC1. Of course, I did start with the Grado TLZ, T... | |
| Restoring a Transrotor Skeleton...help Funny. I did not bat an eyelash at the notion that TransROTOR had once made a turntable called the Skeleton. It sounds right for them. On the other hand, the Transcriptors turntable was originally just called "the Transcriptors turntable" or maybe... |
