| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,Generally prefer ebony, but I could easily imagine with lighter or higher compliance carts I could prefer the cherry. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,My experience on headshell/cart matching is totally unscientific, but it would, in general terms, be somewhat similar to what you mention. It is almost certainly not a definitive rule, and almost certainly has to do with the weaknesses of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,The Yamamoto headshells seem to have the particular property of dealing with plastic cartridge bodies and making their plastic resonances seem more benign. I assume it is the plastic-to-ebony/cherry/boxwood (I personally have not tried th... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Audiofeil, I too am humbled by the level of experience demonstrated, and the perfection of the logic presented; it is not often that logic forming such a perfect circle is presented in such depth and with such vigor. I certainly have been schooled... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Audiozen,I can obviously get pretty dumb.... I am actually responding to your comment... You shouted,why do you think 100% OF ALL HIGH END COMPONENTS HAVE NASA GRADE PARTS.. BETTER SOUND QUALITYIf 100% of all high end components have "NASA grade" ... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Audiozen,You'll have to forgive my skepticism. 'Quality' as NASA defines it has nothing to do with the sound quality of a part in a particular application. Parts' 'efficiency' in dealing with extreme conditions has nothing to do with electrical 'e... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Audiozen,Does NASA use a lot of audio parts? To NASA, NASA-grade parts means reliability, not necessarily sound quality, and the best grade of parts is effectively a certification of existing processes and manufacturers, establishing provable reli... | |
| PF SETTING FOR MC CARTRIDGE WITH SUT Ditto what Mofimadness said but nix on your arithmetic (0.6 ohms x 10 is 6, so if need be, I'd set at 50pf). I cannot think of a situation, personally, when I would add more than the absolute minimum amount of capacitance (pf) for an MC cart. I wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,The VERY low output impedance carts are designed by Mr. Y. Miyadaira, proprietor of MY Sonic Lab. If it was a "K" it could have been the Kubotek Haniwa, which was designed by Miyadaira-san. Don't know any "N" companies he designs for. He does ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dert,I would imagine that the LOMIs out there would also give those same LOMCs a run for their money... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso,In a museum, with one arm, one chooses iconic. Once one starts building a "collection", one starts needing to make comparisons. With that in mind, the Triplanar is iconic as a 'complicated, industrial-looking arm.' But again, that's just me,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Geoch,If I were a museum curator, and had to put a single tonearm into a museum as an example of good 20th century design, it would be the FR-64S. If I had to put a group of them in, they would include the Dynavector, the Morch, the Triplanar, the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,I don't think it is as much "emotional aspect" as the coincidental appreciation of the aesthetic aspects. I was just discussing this very aspect of the FR-64S a few days ago with someone else deep into analog. Neither of us are currently u... | |
| Turntable Essentials? A box of Mr Clean Magic Eraser. I am not joking. Search the archives. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,Mine is actually a 981 HZS with a D98S II stylus (with broken cantilever). I wouldn't mind finding a 981 LZS. |
