| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Poem. By Henry GibsonWas a man named Henry, poor fellowHis tonearm pods were made of jelloThey slipped around like on iceWatching them twirl was quite niceBut his music still sounded like it was supposedPeace, | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Regards, Richardkrebs: Would stylus drag then be considered an irrestable force? Just imagining the tensions these forces are exerting on tonearm bearings, the headshell couplings and the bearing wear. not to mention misalignment consequent to the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: Thanks, Don. JVC literature declares neither the Z or X carts are (were) not marketed in Canada or the U.S., will cast my internets a little wider. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Technics EPC-U25, an etch for which there is no cure.Now the cart of the biennium (COTB), a NOS Shibata seems unobtainable for the JVC Z1. As an alternative to the SAS assembly, would anyone have any experience of the OEM elliptic... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Technics EPC-U25: This cartridge has been periodically tormenting my ears for three years. Trying a fifth stylus now. Two generic, a Nagaoka replacement, a SAS and finally what is represented as an OEM example. This will be the last stylus tried f... | |
| Stylus for Audio Technica AT 15EA Cartridge Regards, Soundfan: AT15 & AT20 styli are interchangeable. If you're looking at the ATN20SS ("Super Shibata") with the beryllium cantilever it's TOTL. Jewel quality stylus on a fine beryllium cantilever, a refined performer. For a slightly warm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffiths: It's said "There's no fuel like an old fuel" (did I get that right?), so here's some "old fuel" to throw on the fire. From "OldADC", Prichard's successor (1978) as cartridge designer:"Those other (cantilever designs) required a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Off to a dinner engagement last night so a hurried post. Apologies.The Signet 5.0 stats were from a stored download, a search turns this up, post #4:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=577672A few to add to AT's parat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi, Halcro: I'd tried the 5.0 with an AM20 (3 x 7 nude elliptical), not sure why the 155Lc never made it to the 5.0?Fleib: The Signet 5.0 carts (from Signet spec sheet) are 550 mH & 750k Ohm, 5mV output for all. "Para" denotes alteration or mo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: I've both the TK-9LC & AT-22. Both are able to capture nuance and detail and well suited to orchestral and chamber music. ML styli sometimes seem overly analytical, much prefer Shibata, HE, or preferably, LC on beryllium. Highl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib. Had the manual downloaded, lost when the magic smoke escaped from my previous laptop. Found these specs elsewhere, seem to be from reliable sources. ML140-170 OCC: Coil impedance 2.5 kOhm @ 1kHz. Inductance: 380 mH @ 1kHz. ML180 OC... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Err, um, "Peace". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Gold plated beryllium cantilevers for 150-180, not sure about the 140 which IIRC is an elliptical. AT ML150 OCC: MicroLine stylus Output voltage 4mV / 1kHz 5cm / sec 0.95 ~ 1.55g needle pressure (optimal 1.25g) Playback frequency ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lewm: Offered for sale by a college classmate, a 1958 Giulietta Spider Normale, $400. I declined because a broken motor mount had been replaced with a piece of 2x4" lumber and tied down with a coat hanger. Wish I had it now!Your F9-E rebu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: To answer a question you didn't ask in this thread: I've both the Grace F9-E and gold bodied F9-L. Output (relative to volume) travels with the stylus assembly. The manual that accompanied the 9-L gives 3.5mV output for all F9's ex... |
