@mijostyn This is Newton from Cleveland, Ohio . I cleaned the needle, checked the tonearm set up again, but the mistracking still happens. My friend gary, who also has the msl set up on a Kronos discovery tonearm, has the same problem with the ...

Field coil dava cartridge
@mijostyn i have to set up the gain at 70db for the voltage stage in the ch . I currently have the loading at 100 ohms … it sounds similar to the current input but for a lower loudness and minimal noise which u can hear with ur ears on the speaker...

Roon hq player
@audiotroy  that’s what I had believed too, till I heard from experts from t+a. I guess I will have to try it and then compare it with the wolf and see which sounds better to me in my room.

Field coil dava cartridge
