| Mono cartridge recommendation Thanks. It should be coming in by Wednesday, and I should have it mounted and dialed in by next weekend. I will certainly report back. | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation Thanks to everyone for the info and recommendations. An opportunity presented itself, so I wound up purchasing a used Lyra Helikon Mono. I owned a Lydian Beta in the past, and it was one of my favorite cartridges, so I jumped on it. Well under m... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @andysf Thanks. Current arms won't permit, wishlist arms won't either.Just curious, why do you feel only spu mount Ortofons are worth owning? | |
| thought on eBay? I’ve had great success buying on eBay, but from actual dealers. I won a Bryston 4b sst2 sold by Overture. I also WON a BAT VK-30SE from a small dealer in New Hampshire, I think. Most recently I won a VPI Scout with a TNT 4 platter and prime sig fe... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @millercarbon meh | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation From my understanding, cutting heads are v shaped, and as such, pretty much any stylus shouldn't "scrape the bottom". I can see an advantage to having the stylus ride lower in the groove, it should avoid areas where conical styli would have worn ... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Ugliest turntable I've ever seen. | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation Thanks for the replies.I don’t own any mono reissues. I have various classical, jazz and early rock monos. I do want to stick to my <$1k budget for now until I decide on a final tonearm for the new table. I will probably be looking to purchase ... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? @atmasphere is correct, at least from my experience. I went from a fairly cheap but well regarded built in phono stage to the Herron VTPH-2A. With the built in, I was getting what I thought was surface noise. As I upgraded my system, I went to ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogers PA-2 Phono Preamplifier In my experience, tube rolling with the Herron is possible but difficult. The biggest problem is that the supplied tubes are extremely low noise, and most other tubes can't meet that low noise standard. And I'm sure the VTPH-2A is voiced with th... | |
| who do i contact to make custom plastic cassette cases and shells? I think you need to contact the 1970's :) | |
| tube or solid state phono amp with a tube integrated amplifier? What is your budget? What types of phono cartridges do you plan to run? | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? My take is simple. The cartridge needs a solid sink to take excess vibrations that are generated in the cartridge while playing the record.I tried a couple of isolation devices, and found they smeared the frequency balance and the soundstage, mes... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @lewm Effectively maybe, but not physically. Especially if the vertical deflection isn't the same in both coils. Horizontal coils in theory don't rely on cancellation in the vertical plane, they simply don't register it. | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @vinylshadow Maybe next year or the year after, but I'm not going to do that now. Before I go with a more expensive cart, I'd like to explore better tonearms. |
