New Gold Note PH 10
I would not be surprised if my transmitters cause interference with the audio system and vice versa, if I were to play my music as loud as I usually do, I know it would interfere with my transmitted signal :)  And it's illegal to transmit any musi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul; believe it or not, I have on hand 4 NOS in the original double packaging Audio Technica AT-20ss stylus'.   One is in my cartridge with under 50 hours on it and the other 3 are stored for the future.I use the AT20ss with the SME Series IV ton...

BTW Clakster, the AT20ss is really superb, I am not sure anything can touch it. :) 
New Gold Note PH 10
I totally agree with both of you; adjustable input for MM is critical.  As said above, I have found for the AT20ss the 200 pf range just works out great (again with my audio cables) and the 22K or 47K ohm input is also very nice.  Just that from w... 
New Gold Note PH 10
OH, one other comment on the AT20ss and 47K ohm... I have a NOS stylus installed with probably not much more than 50 hours use.  Its very fresh, so it has a lot of upper end compared to a well used stylus, that probably is playing into some of why... 
New Gold Note PH 10
A couple of comments:First, Clakster's  AT-20Sla if I recall was a Shibata diamond on an Aluminum cantilever; this was very similar to the AT15s Universal.  I had one of those last summer which I tested against the AT15ss/20ss which is a super Shi...

I suppose like anything, it's equipment dependent and certain cartridges like specific impedance.  As I stated, the AT20ss seems to enjoy either 47K or 22K ohm input.   I know that if it were to go any higher than 47K, it would be far too bright s... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Believe it or not, there are original NOS stylus' available for the original MM cartridges out there.  I purchased a NOS AT15ss stylus around 12 or so years ago from  reputable dealer in NY, it was exactly the same as my original stylus which came...

Chakster, what was the main observation you have by using the PSU 10 power supply?  I have read some say it's a great improvement and others say that it's not worth paying for. 
New Gold Note PH 10
Oh yes, one other interesting item to keep in mind with the PH 10, which is really important. I have read and heard that some people have had issues with noise in the PH 10. Mine had what I would consider a lot of mid range/upper range 60 hz. nois...

Actually you can cycle through any of the impedance loading options for use with the MM cartridges.  I found that 47K ohms works best for most with my AT20ss, however on some recordings the 22K ohm setting is warmer.   The main thing with MM carts... 
Best multi-purpose subwoofer
I have had 5 different SVS subs, none of which are still here.  I had one of very expensive Paradigm subs which was too boomy for me, so it's gone.  The room I am in is 30x30 with an 18 foot high vaulted ceiling, a mezzanine level overhead walk wa... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I threw my hat into the ring here quite a few pages back suggesting initially that the Anthem M1 be considered for audition as my personal experience is that I like far better than my very well received Parasound A51 Halo, which of course is Class... 
Gold Note PH10, Bryston BP2, Clear Audio Smart V2
If your phono stage didn't show any changes from capacitance changes on the input interface from the MM Cartridge, I'd say that this is most likely due to either the characteristics of the cartridge being used or the circuitry design of the phono ... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Speaking of the intrinsic perceived value of heavy amps with big handles, I can see why people like it.  There is nothing like seeing fine CNC machine work with a wonderful anodized finish on metal, especially if it difficult to pick up alone.My A...
