| NOS Grace F9E question Dear @lewm : That's transient response and speed where LOMC are way better but to each his own.@tzh21y , thank's to confirm you are satisfied with your F9 gift and if what you said is new then still will improves a little with more hours playing. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @roberjerman @orpheus10 : Yes, no matter what MM are high inductance cartridges where MI has really lower inductance: 2-3/5 times lower that the MM inductance."" It slows transient speed. And the loose suspension used allows for a form of f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @halcro : I always say ignorance/knowledge levels in each one of us is what is behind our posts. As higher ignorance levels as worst the information we are spreading here/there and elsewhere and these facts makes a lot of damage to the new co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @lewm: The MAX-237 comes with low effective mass arm wand and is superb. Two other great low effective mass tonearms that you or any one can find out easily comes from the Audio Technica group ( AT/Signet. ), I owned and can attest its very h... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Dear @lewm : Ceramic is even more resonant and very bad for cantilevers. Other than in cartridges some manufacturers used in headshells and tonearms and all sounds really bad. Ceramic is not for the analog rig, at least not in the condition the ma... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ADC XLM III | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Der @lewm : Between other ADC used titanium too. Btw, when I talk about MM I'm reffering to all: induced magnet, moving iron, moving flux, electrect, etc. etc. I'm refering to non MC cartridges.Koetsu are solid boron. Even that hollow boron could ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear @jeff1225 @secretguy: In a very long cartridge comparisons chart ( over 100+ ) mde it by those old times reviewers the DC LM 3 ws rnked as: excellent, the top ranking. In that comparison you can find almost all MM mnufacturers. I own -3 XLM ... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Dear lewm, if I remember you was in that cantilever build materiasl . Anyway, solid boron is the way to go.In those old times the berilyum was the " fashion " or the boron pipe because almost all before that cartridge designs came with aluminum ca... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Dear @lewm: First than all and when speak of Grace ( in this case the F9 that runs Discrete-4 too. ) we are speaking of vintage cartridges and it does not matters if it’s Grace, AT, Acutex, Technics or what ever key word is vintage.Even if the vin... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question @lewm , everything is important when you send a cartridge to a re-tipper ( I mean the re-tipper task. ) and the suspension fine tunning and new suspension dampers makes a lot of differences for the better and I said it because the " refresh " in m... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Dear @lewm : "" Grace Ruby with SS OCL retip? ........ Only that it is very good in its own right. """I never heard it but I can tell you that each one of my cartridges that send for a " refresh " or or changes in cantilever/stylus tip all of th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Der @jeff1225 : I never tested or listened in my system. The Golden U is the one to go in that old ADC series that what has in common is a really high output level that goes from 6.1mv to over 8mv.The U model comes with a very good elliptical styl... | |
| The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts? Dear @bimasta: Always exist trade-offs. I'm not cartridge designer but maybe the best is to build cartridge coreless and yoke-less like the Yamaha X-1s. I own it and is truly good performer even that's a vintage one.R. | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Dear @tzh21y @knollbrent : The F9E will perform with better quality performance levels if is loaded at 100kohm and remember that capacitance load has " something to say " with MM cartridges.R. |
