tonearm parameters Dear Stringreen: +++++ " Low mass cartridge should be installed in a low mass arm. " +++++++cartridge compliance is the " key " to define low mass or high effective mass in the tonearm. Yes, cartridge weight is important but the critical parameter... | |

Ortofon T10 a Good Match For Ortofon HMC30 Cart? Dear Ruben1: Your phono stage is a MM/MI design not for MC cartridges. Maybe it can handle the 0.5mv HMC30 cartridge but the problem is like you said the load impedance.You can always make a change at the input of that PS with a different resistor... | |
Vacuuming every time? LAST revisited? Dear Intermediatic: Yes, Zerostat it works very well for the " same " results.Static is a different phenomenon than the LP nedds to clean up. You have to remember that the cartridge is an electromagnetic device that reacts in presence of a static/... | |

Long cables from turntable or phono stage Dear Ninox: IMHO always that's posible we want to connect the cartridge signal coming from the tonearm/TT as shortest is posible to the phono/preamp stages.The cartridge signal is extremely delicate and sensitive due to its very low output and as ... | |
Koetsu RoseWood Standard upgrade? Dear Bobsdevices: To many but I can list some of them. I own/owned of heard it in my system or systems I know very well.Now before listing: an active stage is not a guarentee that beats a SUT, it's the active device design and design execution wha... | |
