| What should I do? 20 hours now on the cartridge. This Mutech Hayabusa is already beyond my expectations. At this point, I just can't imagine how it could get any better! I will update again after another 10 hours of play time. | |
| What should I do? Latest update. I now have 15 hours on my new Mutech Cartridge. Two important performance increases have occurred. One, at, or about 6 hours, the cartridge's bass has matured. When I first installed the Cartridge, the bass was extended deep, bu... | |
| What should I do? @audition__audio I heard the Mutech not only at my dealer's store, but also in a friends system. I knew then that it was one of those 'special' cartridges. However, when I got it home, and installed it, I was much less then impressed. I should ... | |
| What should I do? @chakster i hate installing cartridges. A lot of time and patience required. However, in this case, once I have 50 hours on the new Cartridge, and I feel that it actually is broken in, I will put my old Cartridge back, for, as you say, a final c... | |
| What should I do? @dhcod You are absolutely correct!!! I'm such an 'Immediate gratification' kind of guy, that when I installed the cartridge, brand new, cold, out of the box, I wanted it to blow me away....immediately. Well, that just didn't happen. I really ne... | |
| What should I do? Sorry guys that I haven't responded, but I am trying to put some more hours on the cartridge for break-in. To answer everyone's question about this "mystery" Cartridge, it is a Mytech Hyabusa mounted on a VPI Classic 3 (JMW Memorial 10.5 unipivot... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? Yep, back in the 80's I sold my tt, however, I kept all of my records! So glad I did, as after not being able to listen to my vinyl for several years, I decided to buy a Music Hall tt. Wow, I couldn't believe how good they were sounding. Now, m... | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? One of my favorite "great jazz guitar recordings" is Laurindo Almeida & Charlie Byrd, 'Tango', on Concord / Picante Jazz label. Two acoustic guitar masters, impeccably recorded. This is one of my go-to's when I evaluate any change in my syst... | |
| PASS XP-17 or Allnic H-1202? That is does "not" support balanced inputs. | |
| PASS XP-17 or Allnic H-1202? No, as my preamp does dot support balanced inputs. | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus As recommended by Peter Ledermen (Soundsmith cartridges), I use Blue Tack. It's safe, easy, and best of all does a great job. | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? @wlutke How do I find what the correct "pivot to spindle" distance is supposed to be? (My TT is a VPI Classic 3, my tonearm is the JMW 10.5). | |
| Cartridge Recommendations I own a Soundsmith Zephyr Mk3. What a great sounding Cartridge. I've been listening to a MC (very popular, $3695 retail), but I always had issues with noise. So I picked up the Zephyr on sale ($899 from Elusive Disc), just to see what a MI, high... | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? @dwette Happy New Year!when I engage my KAB (in my tape loop), I hear absolutely no degradation in sonics, so, as you say, I guess it is system dependent. So, what was the root cause of your problem with rumble, and how did you correct it?Thanks! | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? @lewm sorry, don't mean to sound as if I'm arguing. It's a New Year, and I have too much to be thankful for! My TT is very well isolated. I can literally do jumping jacks directly in front of my TT, without affecting the tonearm while it is play... |
