| Edge NL 10.1 update For Huntermusic-Years ago, we were sent a new Edge amp, an M-10. We had already been quite happy with that model and needed a second one for speaker-burn-in/testing. Hooked it up and no bass, no depth, lifeless. So, we decided to run it HARD for a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have posted a photo of the Empire S-1000 ZE/X and S-1000 ZE/X-ERD styli on our system page: Green Mountain Audio system The -ERD stylus shown is defective, in the sense one can see its cantilever is off-center.Best regards,Roy | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think you may be right, Lewm.I have just sent Raul a picture of the standard ZE/X stylus and the -ERD version, as I have no easy way to post them online- hopefully he can, and provide a link to it.Perhaps the BLUZ Bros, the proposed seller of th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm,All I know for certain is the 1000 ZE came out a couple of years before the 1000 ZE/X. There is a High Fidelity magazine test on the 1000 ZE.Perhaps the X version means Empire mounted the diamond nude onto the cantilever-- it seems like ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel,You are right about several things: The original stylus is S-1000 ZE/X. The later stylus is S-1000 ZE/X-ERD. I was wrong when I wrote "EDR" instead.Instead of trusting my memory, I now just took a look at my inventory. The new ERD st... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? We should all remember that 'a proper tracking force' should also center the magnetic armature (at the far end of the cantilever) in its magnetic field, no matter how the cartridge works.This is best seen by looking at the side of the cartridge as... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you, Raul. I am glad to be here. And my thanks for the information on capacitance. Your values are what I expected, but I shall look for others to respond also, since it will be a little while longer before I can try.Regarding any ranking of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have both types of Empire 1000 ZE/X styli here. The Empire 1000 ZE/X original replacement stylus is marked as Raul says.The EDR (Extended Dynamic Range) version I see in front of me has a longer cantilever, which I presume allows it to swing wid... | |
| Micro Seiki BL91 Have a look at the latest cartridges from Soundsmith (www.sound-smith.com). They work wonderfully in my BL-91/MA-500II and seem more musical, more fluid in their dynamics than most other cartridges I have used. Also, they are extremely quiet in th... | |
| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... Hello, TejayI'm glad you love the sound! Thank you for the kind words. They do look pretty cool in person, don't they? I'm also glad your Pioneer sounds fine on them.I have sent you a copy of the original C-1 Owner's Guide.I answer a lot of questi... | |
| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... We appreciate everyone's support, thank you all!Do let me know what you hear, and do consult the speaker's Owner's Guide to obtain the best sound.Best regards,Roy JohnsonDesignerGreen Mountain Audio | |
| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... The Pioneer amp will be fine. The speakers are an easy load for any amp, and the Pioneer has enough power to play quite loud. I doubt you will hurt it.The quality of the source, that is, the CD player and the interconnects hooked to it, matter mor... | |
| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... Thank you for the kind remarks.If your C-1's are to be shipped in their four original cartons, know that since they were originally shipped by truck freight strapped to one pallet, those packing materials will not protect against UPS or FedEx Grou... | |
| Just bought a pair of GMA continuum 1s... Thank you for becoming an Owner! You will be greatly surprised at the performance. You got a great deal in my opinion!Please have your seller contact us for proper packing and shipping. New foam grilles for the upper cast-marble modules are availa... | |
| Speaker Stands adapters for Heavy Speakers? Drew,I would stay with small dots of Blu-tak, say less than 1/4" balls before the speakers' weight flattens them out. They will stick well enough to the Q-Stone marble of the Europa cabinet, but still release someday. Blu-tak does penetrate wood s... |
