| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom 05-20-10: DownunderPaul, that explains the difference.Smoffat and yourself have Phantom II's. I have mark1 and the left side of the headshell is symetrical with the right, hence their being a gap on both back ridges with mine.Yes Shane, I thought ... | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom Smoffatt,If like Stringreen you 'worry' that the bumps are not all under the headshell there may be another option. Assuming your Phantom has the SME base, you could slide the base a few mm rearwards and move the cartridge forward in the slots to ... | |
| Ortofon A90 with Graham Phantom 05-20-10: DownunderI have a Phantom and A90 and I know the problem you are experiencing. I also use the mint tractor. The phantom is wide but not very deep, so it is impossible for all 3 ridges to be in contact with the headshell, only the front r... | |
| Phantom B44 overhang concern When I align my Ortofon A90 in the Phantom with the mint - or the Graham protractor - it ends up in a very similar position to your Shelter. Same with the Ortofon Jubilee.The Denon 103R on the other hand is positioned mid-way in the headshell slot... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge 04-18-10: TbgApparently, Ortofon is going to have to stick with the maximum of 500 A90s. It is some limitation in the manufacturing process.I thought the A90 was a limited edition of 400?The Selective Laser Melting (SLM) manufacturing process shou... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF I did a bit of VTF experimentation with my A90/Phantom II/TNT.At the moment I have VTF at 2.14g. At this setting the sound-space is more expansive and individual images are more lively, dimensional and nuanced (compared to ~2.3g). Lowering much fu... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Shane, I have my A90 pretty close to horizontal...perhaps just a touch up at the rear going by the Phantom's mircopoise bubble level (but well within the centre guide lines). The cartridge still sounds good if VTA is a bit off, but you don't get t... | |
| Graham 2.2 or SME 309/IV/V 02-04-10: RcccIm not sure why it is claimed the SME has limited adjustabilityBecause compared to say, the Graham phantom or Triplanar etc, the SME-V does offer less adjustments. No azimuth adjustment. No effective length adjustment (could be an is... | |
| Graham 2.2 or SME 309/IV/V When Graham changed to the model 2.0 the standard arm mount changed from the sliding SME style to a (more rigid) round style mount with 3 fixing screws. I believe the SME mount was only special order from that point. Make sure to check with the se... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Philb7777, I haven't got your pulley but I think you'll find 2 hex grub screws on either side of the pulley near the bottom.Simply loosen the hex screws and the pulley will slide off. Put in the replacement pulley and evenly tighten up the grub sc... | |
| What's With Pallas And Warped LP's?? Well the 180g LP's in my Neil Young box set are all flat, very quiet surfaces and sound great. Wouldn't surprise me if extra QC was demanded for Young's records though. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge 12-24-09: LewmDo you guys think that the 47-ohm load would also be optimal for the MC7500, given the familial relationship among the MC7500, Windfield, and MCA90 cartridges? I like the MC7500 at 100 ohms very much. If I would critique it I would s... | |
| Speed strobe recommendation. 12-19-09: TfkaudioHi,I have a KAB and it works great, but I still feel kind of foolish for spending $100 for a printed piece of cardboard and a strobe light.I guess that's why we're called audiophools.I haven't used the others.My KAB strobedisc is... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge "The production capacity for A 90 is limited as the Single Laser Mould is a very special process. The structures for A90 are produced by a Danish research Insitute, Teknologisk Institut Aarhus, their capacity is limited at the machine is one of 3 ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Hi Axel, yes it does seem that 'correct' loading is a very system dependent thing.I know what you are saying regarding the 'sat on, compressed or over-tight' type sound. The Jubilee tended that way when loaded at 47ohms - though in some ways it so... |
