I am using a Denon DL-S1 Moving Coil cartridge with a VPI Scout turntable. The spec for the cartridge recommends a Load Resistance of 100 ohms, but the test data sheet included with the cartridge showed that they tested it with Load Resistance of 47K ohms. Question is, do you think it is ok to set the phono amp at 47K ohms for this cartridge?
Dear Dertonarm. I dont belive that Kantians are suitable for 'corps diplomatique' but you should use some other expression,say,'MM lovers' to 'baypass' the problems that you already anticipated.
Lewm, Nandric, my wife saw the thread and my last post and........... smiled. See - that's why I love LOMCs and a very special blonde I am married to ...... demanding, but rewarding.
Dear Lewm, Colling them 'Kantian' is an diplomatic way to say that they are stubborn (the Germans). BTW I was not able to reach page 12 of 'The critic of the pure reason' and I was trying for an month or so. Beacause of the lenght of his sentences as well as the used vocabulary I lost the Ariadne thread halfway of each of those sentences. I assume that my phylosophy teacher was confronted with similar problems because I pass somehow for Kant.
Guess it was a modern day american philosopher who stated that persistence was the only true omnipotence force in human existence (if not in the universe...). If you had been grown up with german language in the 1960ies and 1979ies - before marketing took over all language in the western world and made us accustomed to 6-word-sentences without any commata - Kant wouldn't be all that frightening. Funny thing that in England I was always mistaken for being french and in the USA for being british......... now what does it tell us about being german in modern times ?
