Cartridge "demagging"
Dear Doug: I can remember that I try the Fluxbuster on my Astrion and I don't hear any changes.You can try in your XLM and " see " what happen. I have no experience with the Cardas record and I don't know if it is for MC and MM cartridges. I tell ...

Hi Divo: You have to check every single parameter in thetonearm/cartridge operation : Azimuth, VTA/SRA, VTF and antiskating, sometimes the sum (+) of little deviation from all these adjustement comes with a problem like you have, be sure the stylu...

Dear Dickson: Well, it's good for you. The REX is not an easy cartridge. It is very important to match with the right tonearm ( mass/compliance ). I give to you, here, the formula for check the matching between any phono cartridge and any tonearm:...

Hi Bomarc: That is not the point. Example: any one can build a car but not any one can build a Ferrari or a Porche.Enjoy the music.Raul. 
OK...I'm getting ready to buy a new Phono pre amp.
Rwd: I think that the point is: what are you looking for ( in the analog sound reproduction ) that you don't have it ?, what kind of music use to hear?, wich are your " bias " at the sound reproduction?.Please let me know about it.Regards and enjo...

Dear Jake42: In the 70's and early 80's ( like you say ) there was many high-end manufacturers with exelent products, your Yamaha was not one of that products.Examples: Audio research, Beveridge, Eidolon Research, Mcintosh, Threshold, etc... and m... 
Am I really smart or really stupid?
Hi Jake: I donĀ“t think that the high-end manufacturers want" put their hands on my pocket " ( as you told ). Companies, like Yamaha, Pioneer, NAD, etc...., sold thousands of units every month and the high-end companies sold hundreds of units for y...

Hi Rwd: I think that is not a very good idea to buy the phono preamp that Topoxforddoc told you. I explain why:- first: both units ( Comet and meteor ) are an outboard phono stage, so the signal has to goes trough additionals cables and connectors...

Hi Rwd: Now, if you change your Helikon for a better cartridge you can have an improvement in the quality of your analog sound reproduction. When you already have this cartridge then you can think in the phono preamp.Always enjoy the music.Raul.

Hi Dickson: The Ikeda 9 Rex is not an " easy " cartridge to get the best on it. Till now I try with some tonearms: Ikeda IT 407, SAEC 506/30, SME IV ( it does not works with this one ), Micro Seiki MAX 282 and AudioCraft AC 4400. All these tonearm...
