| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @lewm Chakster, I own a U7045, as well. I am told that it has a low effective mass and is a good match for high compliance cartridges. Is that how you use it? My sample has a decided sag at the rear, due to a worn rubber bushing that supports the... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB @atmasphere Take a look at the distortion curves of a typical solid state amp. At a certain lower power level, the distortion is at its minimum and as you go to lower levels the distortion can be significantly higher! This is not a given with tu... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile The problem with all MC pickups is that you can't quickly check the same cartridge with a different stylus profile for comparison like you can do with MM to make sure what is the best sounding stylus shape. It's important to listen to the same car... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile @rauliruegas i have no problem to use nearly all of them, but for some reason the most impressive carts are not with elliptical diamonds (and not with a conical). Some elliptical are very good like the Pioneer PC-1000 mkII, Victor X-1 IIE or those... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile If a cartridge set up is a problem for you then you have to use conical/spherical, but if you want the top quality it is the worst profile ever, the elliptical is clearly not the best profile too. But the more importnat is the whole combination (b... | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations haha, it’s getting funny in hereThere are a few cartridges on the market that i would avoid personally, just because the cantilever is extremely fragile and not covered at all like the mosquito's sting. For practical reason i would never buy such ... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? As i said this is a first thing to do and if you only can buy this Test Record it will be easy http://www.cardas.com/music_frequency_sweep_lp.php to check In Phase / Out of Phase and Polarity (Both channels in positive polarity) / Out Of Polarity... | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations @fsmithjack chakster - that Luxman is awesome looking - never heard of it or seen it before - cool table and I will remember it and keep on the look out for one but that would have caught my eye because it looks amazing. yeah, magnet suspended l... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? First of all you can use Cardas Test record to check phase and polarity of your system. | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations @fsmithjack I tried for a while and looked and if had someone to give me some good ideas I would have tried another table. I didn’t want a Rega or Music Hall or Project or any of the older Technics or Thorens or Denons. I wanted something kind of... | |
| Soundsmith Aida vs Hana sh @tzh21y I would have to disagree with that as I have never heard a moving magnet that sounded remotely close to a glider. warmer sounding, maybe. On the other hand, I have only heard 1 moving iron cartridge and it did sound goodWhat MI cartrid... | |

| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns @robelvik If the EPA-100 mk2 can be used then EPA-250 can be used too.
