| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge 04-18-10: TbgApparently, Ortofon is going to have to stick with the maximum of 500 A90s. It is some limitation in the manufacturing process.I thought the A90 was a limited edition of 400?The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) manufacturing process shou... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF I did a bit of VTF experimentation with my A90/Phantom II/TNT.At the moment I have VTF at 2.14g. At this setting the sound-space is more expansive and individual images are more lively, dimensional and nuanced (compared to ~2.3g). Lowering much fu... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Shane, I have my A90 pretty close to horizontal...perhaps just a touch up at the rear going by the Phantom's mircopoise bubble level (but well within the centre guide lines). The cartridge still sounds good if VTA is a bit off, but you don't get t... | |
| Graham 2.2 or SME 309/IV/V 02-04-10: RcccIm not sure why it is claimed the SME has limited adjustabilityBecause compared to say, the Graham phantom or Triplanar etc, the SME-V does offer less adjustments. No azimuth adjustment. No effective length adjustment (could be an is... | |
| Graham 2.2 or SME 309/IV/V When Graham changed to the model 2.0 the standard arm mount changed from the sliding SME style to a (more rigid) round style mount with 3 fixing screws. I believe the SME mount was only special order from that point. Make sure to check with the se... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Philb7777, I haven't got your pulley but I think you'll find 2 hex grub screws on either side of the pulley near the bottom.Simply loosen the hex screws and the pulley will slide off. Put in the replacement pulley and evenly tighten up the grub sc... | |
| What's With Pallas And Warped LP's?? Well the 180g LP's in my Neil Young box set are all flat, very quiet surfaces and sound great. Wouldn't surprise me if extra QC was demanded for Young's records though. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge 12-24-09: LewmDo you guys think that the 47-ohm load would also be optimal for the MC7500, given the familial relationship among the MC7500, Windfield, and MCA90 cartridges? I like the MC7500 at 100 ohms very much. If I would critique it I would s... | |
| Speed strobe recommendation. 12-19-09: TfkaudioHi,I have a KAB and it works great, but I still feel kind of foolish for spending $100 for a printed piece of cardboard and a strobe light.I guess that's why we're called audiophools.I haven't used the others.My KAB strobedisc is... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge "The production capacity for A 90 is limited as the Single Laser Mould is a very special process. The structures for A90 are produced by a Danish research Insitute, Teknologisk Institut Aarhus, their capacity is limited at the machine is one of 3 ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Hi Axel, yes it does seem that 'correct' loading is a very system dependent thing.I know what you are saying regarding the 'sat on, compressed or over-tight' type sound. The Jubilee tended that way when loaded at 47ohms - though in some ways it so... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge You are correct Raul, I was not adjusting the volume - but like I said this is a very slight volume change.The details of the sound that I noted above remain consistent at the 47ohm setting - regardless of level - and are not available, to the sam... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Raul, it's not just an SPL change that I'm hearing (see above) - and we are talking about a very small change in level (I think the difference would actually be closer to 0.4dB with the A90's 4ohm generator). In any case, generally there is a tend... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Paul, will you be reviewing the A90 at some stage? I'd like to hear your impressions given your enthusiastic review of the Windfeld.Agree that the 47ohm loading should help prevent any tendency for a rising top octave. In my setup, I think the A90... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Jfrech,The camera was just a Panasonic TZ7 (ZS3 in the US) point and shoot. I have no clues about photography...I take a bunch of shots and pick ones that look ok. The pic on my webpage is a pretty low res reduction. The unreduced crop I posted in... |
