| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Dear Tom: Yes we use 60 db too in the MC phono stage circuit and we can get, on the whole/overall Phonolinepreamplifier, ( changing the line stage gain ) easy 90 db, I never have the necessity to go to a higher total gain.Normally 60 db is enough ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: +++++ " So we are a tiny part of a fringe group." +++++yes we are but is growing-up faster that we think.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear friends: How can I forgot another LOMC top cartridge?, I'm refering to the Technics 305MCMK2, yes this one belongs IMHO to the LOMC elite group and I think that the Colibri ( plastic body, 0.25mv and non gold coils. ) is a border line in that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew: Maybe you are refering to this post on 6-24: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1200430667&openflup&352&4#352 Lew IMHO there is a totally misunderstanding on the MM quality performance or better yet: in this hi... | |
| Upgrade to a vintage TT? Dear Queg: Why don't try it with different tonearm or maybe different phono stage, your TT is a decent one and perhaps it is not the " culprit " of what you are perceiving.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel: I don't like it but there are people that swear on that using this: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgcart&1251218148&/Cartridge-Man-The-Isolator you can try and if you don't like it: well you lose 150.00.Regards and en... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel: +++++ " Now, what to do if the MM has too much treble already --- the inverse problem?Going down with the VTA is all I came up with this far. But what if you can't go any lower with the arm? " +++++till today does not exist a commercial... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel: As I posted: total C.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Daniel: +++++ " Raul doesn't like their sound in his 10+ years memory ? " +++++I sold my last FR-64 last year. I appreciate that don't post nothing that you are not totaly sure, especially when you are refering to me.Everyone knows that you h... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Dear Axel: ++++ " Balanced = Hyper-clean and dynamic vs. unbalanced = naturalness, less clean, and better harmonic completeness " +++++IMHO I think there is no trade off but different quality level designs, that's all.Regards and enjoy the music,R... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Dear Axel: +++++ " some renown reviewers / testers having found, that even in a balanced design (not pseudo) the single-ended still sounded more 'natural'. " +++++the main subject here IMHO is the kind of topology in the design, there are very goo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel: Here it is an article on the subject: http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/load_the_magnets_e.html I'm using 100K along 100pf ( total C. ) and the different cartridges performance seems very good to me, I try 75K but I prefer 100K that I u... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Dear Axel: Why in a MC commercial world any phono stage or any Phonolinepreamp manufacturer have to take care about the MM alternative? when the MM alternative almost does not " exist " by commercial business.So in the last years almost everyone c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Axel: Here in this thread and in other threads ( like Kirkus in yours. ) people different that me already posted that they have a better quality performance running at 100K and 100pf and this is independent of which phono stage they are using... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Dear Lewm: That's right, if I need a different load impedance then I soldered a new resistor value, no switch. Normaly almost all the LOMC cartridges comes with a very low internal resistance where 100 Ohms can cope all them. The other subject is ... |
