| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? Jake, Jr_w, and anyone else: You can contact the Audioquest personnel in charge of distributing Lyra in the USA from here:http://lyraanalog.com/And if you go to:http://www.lyraaudio.com/and click on the "Distributors" link, you can send us an emai... | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? Hi Jake: If you are in the US, I recommend that you or your dealer call or email Audioquest - probably Alasdair Patrick.Alternately, if you send me an email through the Audiogon system, I will be happy to facilitate the contact with Alasdair.kind ... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Pryso, thank you for the clarification!BTW, I see nothing problematic with Goofyfoot's interest in an Ortofon SPU Mono (first post).kind regards, jonathan | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A couple of caveats:The frequency response of a cartridge changes according to the ambient temperature, humidity, and the groove diameter. It will also change to some extent with setup. Somewhere in my technical library I have charts published by ... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Goofyfoot: Before you pay big bucks for any mono cartridge, you may want to try a real mono cartridge for low(er) cost, such as Audio-Technica's AT33MONO. IOW, dip your toes in the water for a nominal fee.http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/p... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Guys: Let me chime in, since I have done a fair amount of work in this area (smile).Even if the LP groove is mono, you will get maximum information retrieval if the vertical stylus contact is maximized and the longitudinal stylus contact is minimi... | |
| Moving permalloy cartridges Sébastien: The operating principle would be that of a moving iron but with increased sensitivity, which could be used alternatively to increase output, reduce moving mass, or decrease inductance.hth, jonathan | |
| Sound Smith Phono Pre Attenuators Hi Bifwynne: In general I find that such attenuator devices should be inserted between phono stage and line preamp rather than cartridge and phono stage.Although my experience is that the sonics of low-voltage MC cartridges suffer far more from el... | |
| Lyra Delos Settings Hi Kinara:It would be interesting to see what is going on in your tonearm(s), because 2 out of three is highly unusual.I would be happy to send you an email, to either discuss what may be going on. or set the corrective wheels in action (smile).Wo... | |
| How do I remove gunk from a Lyra Delos cartridge? Hi Montgomery, all:We do get cartridges that are returned for mistracking, and the percentage of dirty styli far outweighs those that are damaged.However, if your Delos has a tracking problem and you suspect stylus damage, I recommend that you eit... | |
| Lyra Delos Settings BTW, the Linn forums have a thread which is for Uphorik users and loading of various cartridges. It treats cartridge loading from Linn's own perspective, which is to load MC cartridges not only resistively (per standard MC phono stage design pract... | |
| Lyra Delos Settings I was finally able to set aside some time to put together an electrical model that reflects Agiaccios's particular situation, and start running simulations. Over the next days, I will make a series of posts, one for each capacitance setting on the... | |
| Lyra Delos Settings Hi and hope that everyone is doing well:According to a member of the Phonogram mailing list who recently contacted Harry Weisfeld, the total capacitance for a Classic tonearm with standard tonearm wiring and the standard RCA junction is 143 +/- 2 ... | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? BTW, one more variable to consider is room temperature and humidity. Temperature should be about 22~23 degrees celsius, humidity around 55~60%. These operating conditions have a bearing on tracking ability and sound quality.hth, jonathan carr | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? Applying proper VTF should result in the cantilever assuming a 90-degree angle in relation to the red front magnet carrier.My recommendation for Montgomery is to isolate whether the tonearm or cartridge is at fault by having the Delos installed (a... |
