| I need Hign compliance cartridges @pindac , which one did you audition? These are back on my radar as I think about moving to a higher-level MC, like some of the MSL carts. | |
| I need Hign compliance cartridges Phasemation cartridges are all 8 or 8.5, depending on the model. They're big in Japan but not so well-known here in the US. I owned the entry-level P-3G around 20 years ago, when the company was known as Phase Tech. It was excellent..until I broke... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Floggin' it. Anybody? | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me @rauliruegas , yes, I saw "induced magnet" in the included lit but didn't know what it meant, figuring it was just marketing-speak for MM. | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Back in 2010, motivated by Raul’s monster thread (yes, it was even too big back then), I bought a handful of vintage MM carts off eBay, just to try when I had some time. They were all reasonably priced or downright cheap, which of course is one of... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Apologies for the typos! | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply Lewm, thanks for that, and your points are well taken. A step down can certainly do the job, and with the added benefit of isolating from the mains. A glance at his system page suggested to me that the OP is a pretty sophisticated audiophile. I f... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply I find the R to be oddly sensitive to AC, which would seem to fly in the face of reason. Its speed never wavers, of course, but its sound can be subtly more or less tense depending on power cords and especially AC quality. Don’t ask me why. This i... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply I’ll add, perhaps more to the point, that the Mk3 I bought was 100v. I was planning to run it with a Monarchy AC regenerator, which allows output voltage selection from 100 to 120. You could do the same with your R. I think Monarchy closed shop bu... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply @ddriveman, the SP10Mk3 plinth should be a drop in for the SP10R. I ordered my Artisan Fidelity Panzerholtz plinth for a Thalmann-refurbished SP10M3 that was "lost" at the FedEx depot 22 miles from my home in No Cal the day before delivery. This w... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply It apparently does use a switching PS but I don’t know about the variability of the voltage. This from the Technics website: To reduce the noise reaching the pickup, the switching power supply is equipped with a unique technology that provides ... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature @pindac , yes, I agree about Ortofons. I have a long history with the A90, which I bought upon its release and played so much that Ortofon has rebuilt it for me twice already. It might be on the cold and detailed side of neutral, at least more so ... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature @mijostyn , thanks for the detailed report on the Platinum. Neutrality is a good thing, and something I strive for in my systems. I'm pleased to be hearing from you and @blisshifi that the Platinum does not stray toward brightness and edginess. B... | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature So @blisshifi , if the Gold is slightly on the warm side of neutral, would the Platinum be on the cool side, or right at neutral itself? I’m trying to get an idea of its relative position on this scale as you hear it. | |
| My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature Hey @whart , I was hoping you might join in, given our Allnic and other similitudes, and your history with Airtights, which are MSL siblings. I almost mentioned you regarding the Stillpoints, since I knew you had been using them under your PS, too... |
