| Sound Hi Fi Technics Jelco/SME arm upgrades Hi Tim,I don't own a Technics 1200 but I use a Technics EPA 500 tonearm with my PTP3 slate plinthed Lenco.Some people seem to believe the 1200 tonearm only needs a rewire and the KAB damping upgrade to be a serious performer,maybe do these upgrade... | |
| Benz Wood SH vs Clearaudio Maestro Wood Cartridge There are lots more "old" out of production cartridges other than just Shure V-15 out there that will compete(or beat)with most of todays cartridges.Most are cheaper than what I have been seeing the V-15 V sell for lately.You should check out the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dgarretson,from your description of the MF-100 and P-76 it seems you think the P-76 is more dynamic and musical but the MF-100 does detail,bass and soundstaging better,in your system.I guess it all comes down to personal preferences.For me,the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,about the Technics 205C-IIL I like it very much.It has it's own qualities but Im not very good at explaining what I hear.It has a natural tonal balance,and seems to do everything well enough to me.I just seem to prefer a cartridge with mor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have 20 hours on my P-76 so far and it's the only cartridge I have been useing lately.I decided to put on my other armwand with a Technics 205CIIL mounted and already fine tuned.Well that P-76 spoiled me because I can hear the faults of the Tech... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I tried to find out more info about the P-76.I searched the web and googled it but didn't find much on it.I checked cartridgedb.com and found that Andante made a F-9E with ruby cantilever and an F9-S.These were later rebaged "Grace" F9-E and F9... | |
| Bent Cant, Can't get azimuth right. Does it matter Hi,I would send it back and demand a good one.You should not have to accept a flawed brand new(I assume you mean brand new never used)cartridge no matter if it affects the sound or not.I bought several cartridges in the last five years or so some ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jimpcn,the point of this thread is you don't have to spend lots of money on a cartridge to get great sound.I am the type who likes to try different cartridges that don't cost a lot and sometimes those "cheapies" will surprise you.I'll admit I n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,just curious,do you know what the cantilever is made of on the P-76?I noticed it's shorter and thicker than my other favorite mm catridges.I agree with you its a top performer.I only bought two of them,maybe I should have got more since th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I have been listening to the Sumiko P-76 cartridge.I only have 6 hours on it so far and really enjoy it.I set the overhang and offset with my Mintlp best tractor and have the tracking force set at 1.1 grams.I didn't do any fine tuning yet ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,for $50.00 bucks I just couldn't pass up buying one of those Andanti P-76 cartridges to try.It costs me more than that to fill my truck with gas.Do you know the weight of the cartridge?My tone arm a Technics EPA 500 likes 5-7 grams althoug... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for the info Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I see that you own a Technics 205C-MKIV cartridge.I have been useing a Technics 205C-MKII and It sounds great.I have a NOS 205C-MKIV original replacement stylus to try with it.I put 45 hours on the cartridge with the MK-IV stylus and I can... | |
| Technics SL1000/ EPA100 arm - which cartridge? Technics published thier compliance figures at 100hz.I believe most cartridge manufacturers measure the compliance at 10hz.So 5-15x10cm/dyne would be more like 10-30x10cm/dyne.Someone correct me if im wrong. | |
