| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? There is 2 main factors which can damage records nowadays and first one is more common:- too low VTF- damaged or misaligned stylusIf you have mono record which is shot, try it with true mono cartridge with 0,7 mil diamond or if you have religion a... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? Seems that you guys don't listen mono records. | |
| Krell KC-100 and KC-200 cartridges by Takeda. Any differences? edgewear check this link https://imged.com/krell-kc-200-madrigal-carnegie-2-phono-carts-review-stereophile-689-4988150.html IMO as KC200 was special order item, it should be with ruby or sapphire cantilever (technically/sound wise it’s the same) | |
| GRGAUDIO IMO it's question of culture. Once in business the most important asset is trust. | |
| High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type? Coreless coil the most known example is Denon DL304and if to speak about mainstream flagman AT-ART1000 Although it’s important to define what does it mean low ohm - to me it’s up to 5 ohms...in most old SUT’s it’s marked the same, most of them "lo... | |
| High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type? air core is bass shy by nature although masters found the ways to compensate that. Ikeda used plastic cube to wind a coils in order to get more homogenous magnetic field and more bass. Friend of mine changed permanent magnets into field coil only ... | |
| High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type? magnets also differs - the most sweet one is alnico, the intermediate is samarium cobalt, the strongest one is neodymium. Although if you will look into the picture core moves in magnetic field made by permanent magnet (or field coil but that one ... | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? You can change coils, suspension and stylus in MC cartridge. Not in all of them but it’s possible. In MM cartridge you can change stylus easily.So if you look to buy used toothbrush try Pickering they do have something similar. | |
| Cartridge recomendation for Garard 301 and Ikeda IT-345CRI Contradiction this spatial information might be artefact. I always like do calibration of ears in concert hall.Although as owner of SPU Gold Reference I can say it has too much of sparkle for my liking although with some records it's very pleasant... | |
| High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type? The more wire you'll wind the more signal you'll get and impedance will rise. Although there is much more between ohms - magnet type/size/form, wire diameter, winding technique, core material (permandur, iron, aircore), size of magnetic gap etc.So... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 It's written that it's bobinless XL55 Pro II, so Sony as far as remember used something like plastic hollow football ball in XL55 Pro for aircore. So it was removed and they have used more real aircore in Pro II :) As it goes with less ohms and ... | |
| Help with cartridge Chakster - SPU and Denon isn’t the best performers. I do own SPU Gold although mostly it reproduces tone in the way how it should be. Denon DL103 does the same it’s just more rough.Sometimes with others more advanced profiles the same record place... | |
| Opinions on Rega Apheta 3 or 2? If you want to have warranty and LOMC - you can go for Yatra why not but better one is not H version. If you have capable phono stage it will be good.It's interesting cartridge and craftsmanship of ZYX is really good one.As about shims if you will... | |
| Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC If to look into the system now weakest component is speakers. Although before that you have to find out the reason of noise. Maybe one ground is missing as monitors are active ones - so you can order cheap balanced cables between phono and monitor... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge I am happy that you liked my country.No both Lithuanian masters now don't retip, mostly both do new cartridges. To whom and how it's another story.You are right about horns. Most of the horns users can't bear rolled up HF as horns do shout too mu... |
