| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,"The 155 remember me the LOMC performance with less than excellent quality performance at both frequency extremes"This is comparing performance from LOMC's like the Titan i, Orpheus L and MCA90? Sorry Raul but unqualified your statement is ta... | |
| Upgrade from Pass Xono - Recommendations Shsohis, I had the Xono, went to the ASR Basis Exclusive and went again to my current phono stage the Audia Flight. I would heartily recommend the Audia over the other two choices as it is(almost) a one box solution, provides for both MC and MM in... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,"IMHO the best we can do is try/test different values till we find what we are looking for".Cannot argue with this and Carlos in his comments on the thread also mentions the difficulty in finding specific information for cartridges, just like... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This may well have been put up by someone else but for those who have not seen it I suggest you have a good read of this thread on Vinylengine from Carlos. An excellent and very clear explanation of determining the correct capacitance and resistan... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I dutifully followed your setting up instructions for the Empire 1080 LT and I have to hand it to you, it sounds very much better! A much fuller bodied sound where before it seemed constricted. Better bass extension and articulation as well.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, please read my response to Dgob. Just bought a Garrott P77 so not giving up nor expecting to hear specific things from MM's vs MC's but even you state that each has certain characteristics that persist across brands for each type. Yes, I agr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, thanks for the recommendation. I will follow up on it. Incidentally, I have not given up on MM's as I purchased a Garrott P77 today and I will try this shotly and I will soon be getting a second table to make the trial of new MM's easier. Wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks again for your recommendation of the Empire 1080 LT. The Orpheus is indeed a very fine cartridge and I hasten to add up front that it is unequivocally better than the Empire! Is that superiority worth the 30X asking price over the Emp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have been following this ever-growing thread for some time. A couple of fellow Audigoners in Australia I know had taken the plunge and had tried out some vintage MM’s with mixed results. As the entry price was comparatively so low I put my suspi... | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Audia Flight Phono The Inverse RIAA filter is from Hagerman Technology. Simple but very effective. Apologies for the typo. | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Audia Flight Phono I recently sold my Basis Exclusive and now have the Audia Flight phono but did not compare the two side by side. IMO the Audia Flight is the better performer but Michael Fremer is correct, to reach maximum performance requires an extended run in p... | |
| Bent Cant, Can't get azimuth right. Does it matter To Raul, what you say re build quality is true and what you say regarding relying on what our years tell us is correct also but this depends very much on your level of experience and your ears. You have set up at least hundreds of cart/arm combina... | |
| Bent Cant, Can't get azimuth right. Does it matter Many here will tell you to send the cartridge back but it is not an uncommon problem. As long as it is not too severe and it doesn't look too severe from your photo then simply align using the cantilever rather than the cartridge body. Cartridge b... | |
| Wilson Benesch A,C.T. & Wilson Audio Watt Puppy8 Azaud, not sure of the reason no one at shows has paired the ACT's with solid state but I run my ACT's using Accustic Arts power 1 Mk2 with excellent results for both analogue and digital. Prior to the AA I used Accuphase A50v/ C290V combination t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder, I had a terrible thought. If Raul is correct about the XV1 vs XV1s maybe, just maybe he's right about everything else!!!??? I can see a new MM collection being created in the not too distant future. |
