| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: "While ringing artifacts are generally considered undesirable, the initial overshoot (haloing) at transitions increases acutance (apparent sharpness) by increasing the derivative across the transition, and thus can be considered as ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Your description of the 7SU/7e as seductive is indicitive of the cart's elusive nature, easy to dismiss as bland at first listen. Imagine a Chenin Blanc, bringing to the table a subtle balance without excessive delicacy, an earthy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: With the o-rings removed, the low mass ADC mag. headshells have responded in a positive manner. An Acutex LPM 315/320-111STR on a vintage 9.5gm Lustre mag. headshell, very thick @4mm, no difference (to my ears). The TK7SU, a differe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3: I was wondering if it was just me - the MR 5.0 is pretty "hot" on my EPA-250. Thanks for the reply.TK7SU/ATN20SS, "Where man has never gone before", you'll share your impression?Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro/Ackman3: Henry, the TK7e is 2.7mV output, the later 7LCa at 5.0mV. Output impedance is similar, the TK7LCa at 580 Ohm, requiring exceedingly clean windings to get 5mV at that impedance, PCOCC, 8n's pure. With the ATN20SS, you shoul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: OK "Devil" Henry, you threw out the ball, I'll take a swing at it. The Shibata stylus is a very particular beast, alignment and VTA are demanding. A cousin of the line contact profile, there is an extended contact with the groove ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lewm: Great title, eh? Not a great fan of Rumsfeld either, please don't kill the messenger. "Rummy" seemed to be the "yes man" for two administrations (Ford & Bush), "Needless to say, the President is correct. Whatever it was he said.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dgarretson: Begging the pardon of Raul/others for persisting in OT, a follow up. When you get to the mention of "Rummy", you'll ignore?Dunning and Kruger report, "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Inco... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dgarretson: Shirley you're not serious? Good luck with your phono stage. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lewm: "In the end, you just have to listen. There's too much conflicting scientific theory to make a decision based on it."Lew, with selective effort one can find references to "prove" nearly anything desired, but let's keep this under ou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Henry: Sorry my friend, the cat is more easily let out of the bag than put back in. Lew made some good observations about reflected resonance, the paper quoted above dealt with the intensification of resonance consequent to two undamped (... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: O-ring "Nuded" headshells: 1: EPA-250 TA, magnesium headshell, yes. 1: three unidentified arms/headshells, no. 1: A strong first impression but more information needed. 1: In theory---.1: Alternatives.Situational or universal impr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew(m): Quite a quandry, isn't it. Apparently your previous post and mine were on the moderators' desk simultaneously. Your points precisely illustrate the source of my curiosity. Please try the comparison, you're an experienced listener ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: The most effective means of reducing boundary resonances were determined to be fibered materials arranged in non-parallel biases.Perhaps OT but relevent to the subject of resonance, for an isolation platform I find merit in laminate... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro (& Raul): Henry, you may find this interesting: "boundary resonance --- is of the same nature as a resonance in a system without damping: an increase is observed in the amplitudes of the characteristics of the wave --- unlike t... |
