| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray, My system is posted here. Sound Lab M1 spkrs, Atma-sphere MP1 preamp, Atma-sphere MA240 OTL amplifiers. The pre-amp and amps were highly tweaked by me over many years of ownership. I use any one of 3 turntables right now, but the MM/MI cartri... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Sorry, here is complete URL:http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/Classes/MATH198/townsend/math.html | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Dertonearm, I hate to harp on this issue, but I have a "thing" about bad science, such as your contention that the mass of the slate is a major determinant of the distance that a billiard ball will travel (and your bogus reason for saying so)... | |
| Minimum Cart Output for 30db Gain Phonostage Why not use a linestage after the phono stage and plug your headphones into the linestage, assuming it will add enough additional gain to drive them? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Ross. Your comparing it to a Koetsu has meaning for me, since my former reference was an Urushi, which I still own and like. I guess it is unlikely that someone who already owns an original P77 would feel the need to buy the P77i just to m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Does anyone know whether the new Garrott P77 is a real attempt to recreate the original at a high level of quality, or is it merely an attempt to capitalize on the good name of the P77, i.e., a marketing gambit? I guess only end users among us can... | |
| XLR waste of time ? Jimjoyce, Your dream of comparing single-ended to balanced under any sort of controlled situation is just a dream. What you could take from this thread are the tips about when you would want to use an XLR connector (in or out) and when it is a was... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rizl, Re Martin Colloms. Altho he is/was one of the most highly respected of British audio reviewers, was he not at one point associated with a mini-scandal where he was said to have been unduly "influenced" by certain manufacturers or his editor ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel, You might consider buying some shielding so you can audition the MP50 without interference. Michael Percy sells some stuff made by Texas Instruments (TI Shield) that should work fine. The TI shield blocks both RFI and EMI. Of course there ar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray, I agree. I always read and heard great things about the Talisman and Virtuosos cartridges. I think that the ones I happened to buy and use, the Blue Point Special and the Glider in particular, were possibly not good examples of the type. The ... | |
| NOS cartridges Ray, Obviously, it's a case by case phenomenon and past history of storage conditions must be an important determinant of cartridge longevity, but there is enough collective experience on this thread alone to put the kibosh on your thesis that car... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso just condensed down all my more long-winded posts. I agree completely. One of the dichotomies of the internet is that it can be used as a tool to broaden our horizons or to fortify our prejudices. Lets choose the former. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray, If you read thru this thread, you will see that Raul has been "challenged" over and over again by me and by many others as well. In some cases he has conceded points; in many other cases, not. But he has always been gracious and kind, even wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder and Rayr2, Who put the burr under your saddles? If you are disgusted with this thread, just go away. Raul inspired the rest of us to experience some new and fresh sounds from old vinyl with MM and MI cartridges, and for that I, for one, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Robert (Gaugin). I had another thought which almost got me up at 1:30 AM to post this, but I waited til morning. You don't specify which Lyra cartridge you own, but if it is an MC cartridge, your phono stage may be set up with a low load resistanc... |
