| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel/Lew: Today it is very dificult to me continue to hear LOMC cartridges, more and more the MM/MI experience tell me that today this is IMHO the right analog source. I have to say that I don't have the 100% control on the MM/MI alternative ... | |
| Move to MC Cartridge- Shelter, Ortofon? Dear Dsa: IMHO these are very good alternatives:http://cgi.ebay.com/Ortofon-M20FL-Super-MM-cartridge-M-20-FL-Super-NOS_W0QQitemZ120492170569QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1c0de49d49#ht_2634wt_1165 http://cgi.ebay.com/Ortofon-M20E-S... | |
| Goldmund Reference versus Walker Dear D.H: IMHO a Goldmund Reference vs Walker is almost useless comparison because the Walker comes with a dedicated tonearm and almost always the Reference too but a different tonearm, so a comparison is heavy dependent on those tonearms.IMHO eve... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Dear Perrew: Remember that the Essential 3160 is a Phonolinepreamp: phono stages + line stage.The total gain in the Phono stage is 60db in two stages but this Phono stage signal must pass through the line stage where there is the additional gain t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Jim: I don't have the time at the moment ( sorry. ) for a precise explanation/comparison but IMHO the FL/E are something to hear and a must addition to your " powerful cartridge arsenal ", no doubt about: buy it while it last. Let me tell you... | |
| Cartridge Question Dear Scott: Certainly that you today capacitance setting is around the cartridge specs because you have to add to those receiver spec of 150pf the cable capacitance.In a MM/MI cartridges the capacitance makes a difference especially in the high fr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: Both cartridges are similar with two main differences: as you point out the E comes for elliptical stylus against the FL that comes with a linear contact type, the other difference is on compliance: E has 40cu against the 20cu for the F... | |
| Cartridge Question Dear Brent: All the posts has very wise and mature advise on your thread subject, I only want to add some thoughts about:first the Ortofon is a MM/MI cartridge that needs not only the right load impedance but the total capacitance value ( that the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: Try a Nagaoka MP-50 where the tonearm is not grounded and touch the cartridge or the headshell not exactly hum but a distorted sound around Khz not 60 hz, yes I know that the ground hum is 60 hz or 50 hz frequency depend in which countr... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear friends: How lucky you are, here you can find both Ortofon MI cartrodges the M20E Super and the M20FL Super!:http://stores.ebay.com/William-s-Stylus-Shop__W0QQ_sasiZ1QQ_sidZ190774482QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322good luck.Regards and enjoy the m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Derekmur: I almost don't have that kind of problem with my cartridges, either LOMC or MM/MI ones, other than with the MP-50 Super and the AT-155LC ( that I'm testing right ow. ) but I have the noise only when I touch the headshell and this is... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Dear Perrew: Two independent stages configured as need it: 2MC, 2MM and MC/MM.For LOMC cartridges: 60 db and 54db in the phono stage and overall you can have what you need: 75-80-90 db. The phono stages gain comes in two gain stages, either MC and... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Dear Pedrillo: I don't know what precise information you are looking for in your thread and these are my thoughts on your last post.The units you name it ( in that list ) are good units but totally different between each other as is its each one q... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Phaser: That P-77 is very nice cartridge. Now, you are enjoying at that load impedance and this is an important subject, I don't see that you are in a " hurry " to modified the phono stage but in the future could be a good alternative to try.... |
