...as you are making me dis-ass-emble and clean every-freaking-thing from the cartridge pins down to the power distribution box and fuses where I used deoxit too.But i accept the challenge, lets see where it brings me. Got your point on pure copper p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If one can’t measure the VTF then put a large break atop of your cartridge and just enjoy. :-)[/quote]... you mean this, don't you?...

already run other cartridges through the same front end, IC, etc., and they are fine...The last time my "cartridge" took a big dump, it was the tube pins in the K&K.And I coulda sworn I'd just cleaned 'em...Paul S...

Bob Graham of Graham Engineering can provide you with a silver wire transformer that sounds great to my ears. More accurately, I don't hear it detracting from my enjoyment. I use mine in conjunction with his silver wired phono cartridge s...

Continuing my crawling in the sea of cartridge excrements, there is this Lumiere DST, inspired by Neumann DST-62 and highly praised by Stefano.Difficult to get any reasonable info (at least some basic raw data), apart from apparent sample-to-sample h...

Well, I have sold to myself the idea that my Shelter 901 had died by a mysterious but unknown to human illness. I have sold to myself an idea that I need to buy another hard-reading cartridge, I do not know what it will be yet but “I am ready”. Still...

The Windfeld apparently suffers from production inconsistency. I'd avoid it. Ortofon have just released a new cartridge, the A90, which looks promising.I agree about the Decca Reference, I recently heard one in an SME 312 arm and it was very good, no...

With SME 3012 (Shelter 901), Ortofon RMG 309 (Orotofon S15-T) and Micro 237 (french mono cartridge early 50's, unbeatable)...I couldn't really get the sound I wanted out of the TT until I put it on the SR stands, I envy your vibraplane but trying shi...

Okay, since you ask, I think I have said it before, and I consider it kind of pointless since we are talking more for the sake of nostalgia not anything to do with what we may do with our audio systems in the present. Anyway, yes I owned the Rosewood...

youd be amazed at the garbage that can make it into modern vinyl, especially recycled Vinyl. Disc flatteners can work , Furutech has one at nose bleed prices as does Air Tight http://www.axissaudio.com/special/DFO1U.htm . The furutech website lists ...

I don't see how the cartridge inductance is doing anything as far as that schematic goes.There's another thing *very* wrong with it as well, but as you're not going to pursue it, we can leave it at that....

Thanks for lt me know your euro tastes .. Romy .. but it would be more interesting for me a debating on arm mass and cartridge compliance....

1) Be very careful with use Halco resistors. They were very good 15 years back but they turned south very aggressively. I bought a party of Halco in 2005 and I forced myself to trashed them as they were very noisy. You do not use then in critica...

I love the "meaty" sound of those cartridges! But it isn't enough for me.If you like it, it doesn't matter at all whether it is anything like the "original", and hopefully it will at least remain viable for you.In 6-8 weeks I hope to continue where ...

Wasn't sure where to put this but has to be seen to be believed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ9tCRh41OMI think this is at a show in Bangkok. I'm amazed the exhibitors allowed it to happen. That Ikeda cartridge isn't really designed for this kind o...

[quote user="hagtech"]First, it seems like the tubes are starved. They are running very low current. The 12AX7 is also at low voltage. I'm guessing they are running at about 0.3mA at 65V plate. This operating point is way down...

Dear Romy,I've bought their Sussarro cartridge. It's something very different from other moving coils. If there is a chance try it.Armen...

This is the point, Paul: is it a self-propelled, self-ass-licking FR7 club or does this cart has any merit?Old vs. new, new vs. old...in the world of planned obsolescnce I do not know how to navigate.There is a myriad of models, but what they are wor...

Romy, so if I understood you correctly I should be able to use any decent cartridge on this arm, just as long as I add enough weight to it? Which cartridges can I look at (I don't really have a bidget at this point)?...
|
|
What you have there Romy is essentially the cartridge Ortofon introduced in 1948, the first production moving coil cartridge.
The motor is the same, just the "suspension" material changed from india rubber to a modern elastomer AFAIK. Also the G-sty...

I also built one. It does not have enough gain for a low output MC cartridge. You need a step up transformer. I use an Ortofon T30....

Strange.., the purple one should be the trippy one and the blue with more focus and not vice versa.Only 1 milligram of weight must be a strong medicine for your cartridge......

This is my first post here, so bear with me if my set-up isn't as sophisticated as yours.More and more as of late I started to notice that records exhibit surface noise that was less pronounced [or absent] before. I bought this cartridge 5.5 years ag...

I'm shopping for a Dynavector DV-20X High Output MC. So far I've only been quoted $580 - 20% trade-in for my existing DV-10X5 cartridge = $460. But if I could get it cheaper, especially much cheaper, from an over-seas source - I'm definitely int...

Did you see this piece Paul?http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/vta_e.htmlI'm not sure what to make of it. We certainly don't seem to suffer with the issues of poor mains to the same degree over here and I found that I can set up my cartridge so that i...

Ah, think of it this way. Imagine floating the input to your ET step-ups. Don't ground it. Let the primary and phono cartridge float. This is a similar situation but far far more sensitive. It's a mind game to make it ea...

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...

Let's see what Framer will find next...got a mail from Australia that Continuum has Production Problems. Also some master brains left the company...Well, I did listen 3x to the big Continuum, 2x it was more or less defect. The last time 1 channel did...
