| Cartridges: low output vs. high output For me the answer starts with what Phono stage you plan to use, because matching is the most important factor. Also helps to know in absolute terms which input (MM or MC)sounds better on your Phono. There aren't a lot of cartridge manufactures tha... | |
| New Vinyl - "scratchy"? Also worth trying on a friends system to see if it's not specific to your sysytem. When I got my 45rpm Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince G Trio it was scratchy. A year later after I changed the Dynavector XV-1s for a Colibri XGP I coencidentaly fou... | |
| Your Impressions of the DV XX2 MKII Had a DV XX2 MKII 3 years ago on and SME V arm. I still miss it up to this day - even after 2 XV-1s & 2 Vdh Colibris! It had a magic with the ARC Ref Phono, smooth from top to bottom. Awesome bass and dynamics, sounded supper with any LP I thr... | |
| Benz HO MC wood cartridge what type phono pre? 52tiger,Not sure what the output mV is on the cart you are refering to, but if it is more than 2mV then only a very low gain MC phono (<48db)should have the result you are explaining. What it also might be is that you are used to the extra driv... | |
| VDH Colibri Gold LW on SME 5 Arm I ran this combination for a year with no issues, noise or otherwise. | |
| Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge? Frontier1,I'm fully with Rauliruegas on this one!Excuse this crazy question but have you tried the Lyra straight into the MM input of your Shindo? This might give you a taste of how good a non-SUT setup can be? I do not doubt that there a great SU... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Thuchan,Your feedback is in line with my findings in my posting "so you have a valve phono with MM & MC inputs", those built-in Jensen SUTs can be easily bettered! | |
| vinyl in vagas and san francisco One more vote for Record City (Sahara) in Vegas! I was in town last week for our Field Readiness Seminar and I'm glad I took the time to visit the store. Great service, great selection of old school R&B and Jazz, and a good grading system, if ... | |
| High output cartridge for 47db phono stage? Hi,I think that your range of 1mV-2,5mV cartridges is spot on! Two things come to mind, how quite are your tubes & is the 1mV cart better than the ACE H in quality? | |
| Phono stage overload margin ?? Smoffatt, I have a 2002 model ARC Phono Ref (69db MC gain) and the Manual suggests not using MCs of more than 0.30mV, and from using various carts over the years I now know that it tends to sound better with carts of around 0.25mV that with those ... | |
| Classics Clarity Vinyl Madfloyd I'm glad you mentioned the cartridge! 2 things on the XV, I had read that it can supress surface noise (so I bought one and found it to be true in my system) and that in my system the ohm loading does make some difference to the noise sup... | |
| Goldmund Studio I have a Studio with an SME V arm and DV XV-1s and also a SME 30/2 with a Graham Phanton arm also with a XV-1s. Short answer, I listen to the Studio 90% of the time. Why? Most of my vinyl is Jazz from the 50s-70s and I find the Studio tranports me... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Goatwuss, hopefully this note finds you well and with resolution to you problem.I recently found a fix to this problem on my TT from an unexpected source. I run a Goldmund Studio with an SME V, a mod, in place of the std. T3 arm. In short, I suspe... |
