| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel: Or the Astatic MF-200 or the CA Virtuoso Wood re-tipped or, or , or, etc. etc.....to many great cartridges still waiting for you and other people.Regards and enjoy the music,R. | |
| Switching from MM to MC - my experiences Dear Theapplechap: I can't remember when but this is the second time I read this kind of thread/post. Anyway a good reading. I can't be sure through your cartridge set up in your review if the Ortofon MMs were showing its best due to the " right "... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Stltrains: Yes, this kind of experiences are always frustrating but the good news is that has solution.Northwest Analog in England could be a good alternative to fix your AKG P100LE Axel and even SS could help too.That cartridge is hard to ge... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Stltrains: Certainly not, that cartridge suspension is out of work. Need to fix it.Regards and enjoy the music,r. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Stltrains: IMHO the AKG is nothing les but an stellar performer.If I remember you posted that was serviced recently by VdH and even that you just can't achieve a " decent " performance. My take is that that sample has a suspension trouble and... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Al: Thank's for the link, I already read it in the past. Ralph is one of the designers I have in high respect.I know that only a few speaker designers made or make their designs to achieve high quality performance with out taking in count ele... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Dear Nhs: Good that your Virtuoso broken because you have a great opportunity to re-tip with a better cantilever/stylus that the stock one that's not really good.The Virtuoso Wood motor IMHO is an stellar one and when you make that re-tip no one o... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Al: I'm not talking about overall speaker behavior but about a mistmatch between the Manley and the Zu due to the Manley " behavior " that due to the amplifier characteristics in true works more like an equalizer with gain that as an amplifie... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Iramirez: Just imagine a well designed amp that you like its quality performance level and that at the same time was/is accurate/neutral to help listen what is in the recording with low low colorations and distortions.I think that till you or... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Almarg: IMHO there are many scenarios/stages between amplifier/speaker's impedance mistmatch.The " big " trouble in the Iramirez system is that the Manley's are not only a wrong match for those speakers but a " dratical wrong " amplifier with... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Charles1dad: +++++ " Ivan I know that Raulirugas means well but if you like the sound of your system that`s 'all' that matters. This talk about relying on measurements and liking 'plesant colorations' is the path to frustration, just trust yo... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Dear Iramirez: My first move in your system can be with the Manley amplifiers that can't handle accuretely the electrical impedance curve showed by the Zu speakers due the very high output impedance value on the Manley's that is over 2.0 ohms!!!. ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system? Dear Will_herrera: For what ever reason you have I can see you ar entilted with LOMC cartridges and in especial the XV-1s.This cartridge belongs to a different " league " that the cartridge you own and to a different " league " that the system you... | |
| Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system? Dear Will_herrera: The XV-1s is a great quality performer by any standard but the ones that likes distortions, certainly not anemic other than the system that showed that " anemic " behavior but IMHO not the cartridge.There are cartridges or other... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib: As you I had experiences with Adcom and SAE but was many years ago and what I remember due not only to the time already pass but the differences in my system my opinion about is almost useless.In the other side I can't remember any fir... |
