| MC cartridge upgrade for a Schiit Sol (Denon dl-103r) help! @erivera1990 Thanks. I think you’re going to love the Mani 2, especially with your Technics MK2. Denon 103s are great cartridges. I had the Denon 103R, but the cantilever broke off when I was dusting a previous turntable it was on. I didn’t h... | |
| MC cartridge upgrade for a Schiit Sol (Denon dl-103r) help! Hi @erivera1990, The Moon 110lp V2 preamp has some pretty impressive specs. I wonder how it compares to the Mani 2 in listening tests. No I don't have a YouTube channel to share my vinyl. I was tempted to create one but see that YouTube upload... | |
| MC cartridge upgrade for a Schiit Sol (Denon dl-103r) help! Hi @erivera1990, I have since upgraded to the Schiit Mani 2. It is much better than the Mani 1. I re-recorded a few records with the same cartridge and headshell that I used with the Mani 1—just to see if there was any difference. There was a def... | |
| MC cartridge upgrade for a Schiit Sol (Denon dl-103r) help! Hi erivera1990, I’m responding a little late to your post, but I purchased a DENON DL-103R recently and use it with my Schiit Mani (at a gain of 59dB). Interestingly, although it has a recommended load impedance of 100 ohms or higher for thi... | |

| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge Also want to give credit to noromance for also suggesting to remove and reinsert stylus assembly. | |
| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge Hi everyone, Problem solved. Audio-Technica got back to me and told me to check the stylus assembly (as you suggested, elliottbnewcombjr...and you were absolutely correct!) and to make sure that the screws were not interfering with its reattachm... | |
| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr Hi elliottbnewcombjr, thanks - it did solve the noise problem but then the volume coming out of the cartridge became much lower. I'm going to check for a few more things to see. For instance, it came with four installation s... | |
| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge @mijostyn Hi mijostyn, thank you. Yes, I agree with you that the cartridge is defective and will be sending it back to Audio-Technica for a replacement cartridge. The volume is definitely much lower. Just to be sure, I recorded a few of the ... | |
| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge @noromance Hi noromance, Thank you. Yes, doing what you said along with what the Audio Solutions Specialist from Audio-Technica suggested removed the noise. The tradeoff, however, is that the output volume is now lower. But I'm willing to... | |
| Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge @dover Hi dover, Thank you for your reply. Yes, I installed the VM740ML on the VM95E headshell (kept everything the same), and I still get the buzz from the VM740ML (on both channels). Just spoke with an Audio Solutions Specialist from Audi... |
