| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Got it. I was wrong. The Io's first gain stage is NOT balanced. Ergo, there is no particular advantage to using the XLR inputs. I knew this was true of their less expensive phono stage, but I obviously thought differently (not to say "differential... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Shurely" I now get it. Next time, I guess use a sledge hammer. Thx. Sorry to be a pedant, but I too was aiming for a laugh. I missed badly apparently.I need Nandric to have 8 tonearms and 26 cartridges, otherwise I might be the champion owner of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds, I am sure Halcro has more than a few question marks that he can spare for you. He may even be willing to trade that last explanation point for a question mark. As for "H"s, I think you should conserve them better.Dear Raul, No arg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That's fine. For my part, I only said that I don't hold the same opinion. For me, vinyl mimics "live" better than digital can mimic "live". For signal to noise ratio and bandwidth, digital can be superior to vinyl, but I am listening for something... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds, You wrote, "Why do CD's sound so similar to are records..." (Presumably you omitted the question mark that would seem to have been appropriate punctiation.) I take huge issue with your premise. I say CDs do NOT sound so similar to... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Dear Oldvinyl, I don't know why it was deleted, but I posted yesterday that I cannot understand why Aesthetix, who took the pains to design and develop the fully balanced phono section in the Io, and who charge a great deal of money for the result... | |
| Best T/T Pods/ wood blocks to eliminate vibrations But Albert's first statement is also correct, IMO. No matter what you do, it is unlikely to protect against a direct rap on certain parts of the plinth and dust cover. The best cure for your stated issue is not to rap on the plinth. Which brings m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, I am not arguing the point you make at all. I was just bringing up the relationship between inductance and DC resistance, upon which you have now amplified.But if it were as simple as that, the idea that low inductance is better, then why d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel and Fleib, Is it not the case that the output resistance of a cartridge and its inductance are intimately related, not to say linearly related? I was under the impression that both were a function of the number of turns of wire in the coi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In fairness, the Dual headshell has a built-in offset angle and a very odd looking contact area, and so can probably be used only on a Dual tonearm. But thanks for the history, Raul. I think I even recall seeing that headshell in use, back in the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, FYI. Last night I tried to fit my Orsonic AV101b to both the DV505 and the DV501. You will be happy to know that I get the same result as you; the Orsonic and the Dynavectors are not at all compatible. The retaining collar on the end of the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oy! Blitzkrieg again. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FYI, Raul's post reminded me that I have learned since that the DV505 may not have been designed exactly for Stevenson but merely for some Dynavector geometry that is nearest to the Stevenson paradigm. I subsequently acquired a protractor closer t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,I do not "prefer" Stevenson. I found that when I mounted one cartridge (I forget which one) on the DV505 in Lofgren or Baerwald geometry, I had to twist the cartridge such that it did not align with the long axis of the headshell. Concomitan... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, I too own and like the big brother to your Dynavector DV501, the DV505. In fact, I also have a mint DV501 that was given to me by a dear friend who is chronically ill at this point. I will see how my Orsonic 101b mates to those two tonearms... |
