| Advice needed on MC cartridges Erichsch- this is getting increasingly confusing. If the loading impedance for the Soundsmith Paua MI cartridge is 470 ohms, is that different from the listed 47 k input resistance listed in the Luxman 507uX Mkii specs? The electronics terminology... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Mijostyn, like you I do prefer a flat uncolored response, so a Soundsmith MI cartidge should be just the ticket in that regard. Thanks for describing the attributes of their cartridges. I watched a couple of Youtube videos by Soundsmith owner Pete... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Thank myjostin. Is there anything particularly identifiable in the sound of MI’s you know of that might distinguish them from MC’s, or make some folks prefer MC’s for some reason? I’ll study up on the ones you mention tomorrow. Appreciate your ass... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Let me post another and different question than one on unipivots, that may be less controversial. At the worst I can probably solve that issue with the VPI dual pivot mod mulveling suggested. Mijostyn mentioned early on this thread, and above, th... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Raul, I went back and found your post on this thread where you explained how unipivots create too much unstabillity for the cartridge/stylus in the record groove. I missed that entry somehow. Appreciate your explanation there and just above. Thank... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Tobes, ghdprentice, and sokogear- I’ve not noticed any problems with the VPI’s unipivot arm other than it being a little jiggly right when placing it on a record. However this doesn’t appear to be any big deal once you get used to it as ghdprentic... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Mulveling, thank you much for mentioning VPI’s dual pivot mod. I’d not heard of that before and it may come in handy if I need to address Raul’s concerns about unipivots negatively affecting cartridge performance somehow.. Just read a long post on... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Andrei_NZ- Thank you for your recommendatons. I just finished looking them up. Sokogear- Thank you for the recommendation on the Vanden Hull MC One Special. Ijust finished reading up on that model too plus the pricier Frog model recomended earlie... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Jmarin, appresiate your recommendation. Wspohn, the Hana cartridges seem to be getting a lot of good reviews here. Thanks for yours. Sokogear, I’m wondering too how much difference there would be between two high quality cartridges with that muc... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news. It’s the opposite way around femoore12. Where ya' been? | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges I did look up the Schroder CB mijostyn owns and it was in that price range you mention. He’s fortunate to have one. Thanks for the reassurance a good quality MC cartridge can work on a unipivot arm. I can save up to upgrade to a pricey cartridge i... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Secretguy, thjanks for the recommendation of the Denon. I’ll add it to the list of cartridges to research. Jim, Thanks, Do you think it would be detrimental to the physical structure of an MC cartridge, perhaps the needle or cantilever, to have i... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Thanks for the explanation. That is certainly not good news. Mike | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Raul, why would the Unipivot tonearm need to be changed out? That's no small matter to have to consider doing. Mike | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Ghdprentice, thanks again for the clarifications and advice.. I’d really like to hear your ’’Frog" cartridge. Oldrooney, thank you for the differences you describe in listening to either type of cartridge. Mr_m;, appreciate your +1 on the Hana M... |
