| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib, Dover: Spent about an hour this AM re-routing ICs, moved grounds to PS. Listening to Mark Knopfler "Privateering", very quiet, great imaging. Crosstalk & noise levels improved. The rat's nest of power cords, ICs & ground wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: I believe it's correct to state unbalanced units connect successive signal grounds together directly through each interconnecting cable. That the chassis is generally used as a signal ground conductor leads to the question that if ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dover: While not "jaw dropping", the difference did engender a moment of surprise.Perhaps a market exists for hi-end ground "cables" (can't just call 'em wire), DOUBLE star configured of prosperme, a unique alloy formed from coat hangers ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Thanks for the reminder, I'd followed the VE cart loading thread for a while, then lost track. For those interested, the relation between electrical/mechanical resonances gains impetus here:http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_foru... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Fleib: I've a memory of reading the Orto. paper. It was years ago. Your recall is better than mine. Condolences for the loss of your PC.Going to a heavier/shorter ground wire seemed to reduce midrange grain, quite content to ascribe it to ... | |
| Help With System hum, Please Regards, Moonguy: You may have a ground loop hum. This will sometimes occur with a metal bodied cart on a metal tonearm.There MAY be a small grounding strap on one of the cartridge's ground pins, see:http://www.ebay.com/itm/PICKERING-XV15-CARTRIDG... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Perhaps I, and HagTech, failed to specifically identify the peak/rolloff factor. This would be related to output. If, with an electro-magnetic generator, and in a set period, there is an optimum number of passes of the magnet acros... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Hagerman Technologies has a good page on loading, a calculator that's fun to play with. MM/MC & SUTs. http://www.hagtech.com/loading.html"The larger the inductance, or larger the capacitance, the lower the resonant frequency wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: Not sure we're on the same page. The cart that gave me a run for the money was the AT ML150 OCC/Soundsmith ruby-optimised LC stylus. Anyone who thinks you just slap this one on a tonearm and calls it done has no idea what they're talking abo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Henry: Just caught your question, a good one. Easy answer is yes. First impression related to the improvement in mounting the TA directly to the plinth. Eliminating the intermediate armboard and coupling the TA and TT rigidly to the plint... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew/Raul: Lew, I find myself spending more time correcting auto-correct than if I'd just edited for myself. An amusing site, "Dang Auto-correct", Google it for a hearty laugh.Raul: Please don't think I find any "problems" with the JVC. Ju... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: "with the TT-101......there was an immediate tightening of rhythm discernible as well as....at the same time....a seemingly more relaxed presentation.The bass appeared deeper and more controlled whilst the convincing transparency ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So our audiophile guru has decided to not only liberate bagged cats, but to farm kittens too? This is a matter requiring some thought. Planting kittens either too deep or too close together does not result in anticipated levels of productivity. Th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola has a duck. I'd have not thought it but he said so. A duck is an amphibian, not all amphibians are ducks. He also has a dog. I'd not have thought it but he said so. A dog is a canine, not all canines are dogs.Styli, in whatever manner trunc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Richardkrebs/CT05-Chris: Long post, you'll be sorry you asked. Choice of elements in a turntable can be comfortably left to a qualified other, assembled through random decisions by the consumer, or, given some degree of awareness b... |
