There is a “general consensus” with respect to proper capacitance for an MC cartridge? Where?
Vinyl foibles
I'd like to make this a space to ask questions about vinyl problems you're having trouble solving. I have a lot of questions, but I think it's better if we ask one at a time, or else I think we could have long lists.
Here is my first question. I have a Degritter album washer. I think it works great. I wash all my albums once, but not before I play them again and again. Somehow, though, and this includes new albums no one else has ever touched, they pick up ticks and what sounds like scratches. I rewash the album and it sounds like new again. I only touch albums by their edges. How do inner bands become so dirty that sometimes a smudge can last a minute or more? I've been playing vinyl albums for more years than many of you have lived, and I have learned to be very careful with vinyl. Are there vinyl gremlins haunting my album shelves?

The general consensus is everywhere I've looked. I haven't read any sources that suggests an audiophile (who else would bother?) with a MC cartridge should worry about the capacitance setting. I guess I might have said, according to my research, there is a general consensus. My ARC PH-7 had it set at 200 and the user could not change it. |

Attention to detail, AI earlier, and wandering off-topic. Relying too much on AI makes you lazy, and if your brain gets lazy, you can wander about…. and forget a lot of details. |
