| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @bpoletti Wow! The Vega was possibly the worst contraption ever to have 4 wheels. The V15 was far from the worst contraption ever to have a stylus. I don't know about you, but I am far more interested in performance than comfort. Bentley made a na... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR Yes Richard they were, but they also did not do a direct comparison with my other cartridges and my system is also very commanding from a visual perspective. It did not take me long to make the realization that the Shure was not up to the other ca... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @bpoletti @dover I think that is an unfair comparison It is more like a Corvette VS a Mclaren vs Ferrari @lewm All I can say is that it thinks it can. It is a BK Precision and I have no idea where it stands in the world of meters. Rob Robertson h... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @lewm You know, I never noticed that my meter does indeed measure capacitance. So, thanx for pulling my chain. On the cable I get 0.04 nF (40 pF) For some reason I can not measure on pins 2 and 3 of the phono stages input. The meter just says RUN.... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @lewm The Channel D phono stages have extremely accurate RIAA circuits. Digital RIAA correction has less distortion. But good phono stages already have very low distortion. The difference is not significant. Next is the fact that going back and fo... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @richardbrand Yes, you can see it on my system page. @rauliruegas, @dhcod @cleeds I just finished up on gammaman's system. Perhaps he will comment. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @dover I have no way of knowing what the capacitance of my cable is. Is there a way to measure it? | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @macg19 @rauliruegas Right now the Soundsmith is on the tonearm and there is no harshness at all. Thanx for the link. | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @dhcod It seem you do not understand that the audio memory of humans is extremely short and severely subject to conformation bias. Differences of defects have to become very obvious obvious. Under blinded conditions most "extreme improvements" can... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @atmasphere OK, I ordered two 22k Vishay resistors. | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @dhcod I like sound, period. I did not say digital versions always sounds better. Digital sources can in the end provide better reproduction with lower noise and distortion. Whether or not a digital version sounds better is very dependent on maste... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @macg19 It is called a public health service scholarship. The Feds paid for everything. @atmasphere OK I'm game. The phono section has the typical 47K input impedance. There are no facilities for loading or capacitance. So, if I put 47k resistors... | |
| Anyone notice different amounts of surface noise with different arms? @rauliruegas All my records are in effect digitized as my phono stage runs directly into the ADC of the Lynx Hilo. I have gone back and forth between analog RIAA correction and digital RIAA correction and I can not tell the difference. I can recor... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @russ69 Actually it was 1982 when the V was released. The V MR may have been 84. Walter Stanton invented the removable stylus. The 681 EE was a little later 1968, but the 681 dates back to the late 40s! I liked the EE very much. I had one somewher... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @russ69 I'm talking back in 1964 when the V15 was released. It had very little if any serious competition at the time. My father was still using an ESL cartridge at 5 grams. |
