The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.?


What (on earth) is the correct internal-inductance of the Ortofon Peer Windfeld cartridge?

They made a mistake in the brochure about the loading impedance: it says >10k but should read >10 ohms. This was admitted by the factory's techies.

The brochure also says internal-inductance: 700 mH !!!
This you would expect from an MM cart. Was this also a factor 1 000 error? I can not find ANY help on the web to clear this up. Can any one help?

Dear Axel, Intactaudio is a professional in the use of transformers, autoformers, chokes, etc, in audio. He is highly respected on other internet forums for his knowledge and unbiased advice. Rather than leaving in a huff, you might be better served by considering that what he has written in response to your posts is most likely correct. Then you can learn something new, which is what we are all here for. No one, including Dave, is saying that your particular choice of a topology for your cartridge and your SUT does not sound excellent.
Hi Dave,
I just got that idea to check on your threads.
Now look here: "Thoughts on cartridge loading with a SUT" 11-22-08 !!

You appear to be quoting a couple of other originators quite liberally in your essay, hm.
OK, you are not selling a book here, but I try to figure out why you appear to give a hard time every step of the way, yet have all these superior insights as to be seen in your essay?

What points are your actually trying to score?!

If you are using an SUT already, why all this production of yours around here?!

And if you don't use one -- and you want to, why not ask some salient questions, instead of arguing over every weird detail?! Or is that just your idea of eduction?

You mention Van der Veen in your 'essay', - we use his trannie! While you talk about his 'Gorillas in the corner' using all his comic strip allusions... That's geeky, man!

Are you just trying to be extra clever and get a kick to make the rest look like fools?

I truely start having my doubts about your sincerity, and I wish I am wrong.
I like to help, and you seem to enjoy some geeky game instead.
Maybe - what we have here, is failure to communicate...

Axel
Lew, AFAIK Dave Slagle of Intact Audio is a transformer manufacturer. He isn't merely a user or repackager of transformers made by other companies, but designs and winds his own transformers, including AFAIR, MC step-up transformers.

Dear Axel: I think there is a misunderstood on communication. A long thread with so much information can help to understanding " troubles " like this one you " feel ".

IMHO I can't think that Lew has its own " agenda " looking to achieve some target different of what the thread is.
I know Lew and I can say " free " that is a trusty person in a whole mean.

I had and still have ( now less ) several troubles with the people brcause of the way I'm ( I mean so direct and not " politic ". ) and because problems to understand and to communicate due my not so good English.

This kind of things happen everyday in a forum like this but I'm sure that almost all ( including Lew ) the people that post here are " good meaning " and honest with them.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Jonathan, You are correct. I just did not want to go into great detail on Dave's qualifications.
