| Mono Cartridge Question @dogberry I have about two hundred mono LP’s myself. Folkways, Archive Productions, Mylodia, etc… and remasters. Some 1950’s vinyl I’ve bought still has shards of vinyl along the edges from when they were cut. There is a treasure trove of mono out... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @dogberry Forgot about the Cadenza. I'm sure that's a good sounding cartridge. It would be interesting to hear your opinion after you get it up and running. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @dogberry I can't even think of a mono cartridge with both vertical compliance and a micro line stylus. I'm eventually planning on getting the EMT HMD025 mono but the stylus description is; Diamond: SPH 25. Does anyone know this stylus? Also, noth... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @wallytools Of course not all grooves are the same size. Just after shellac 33 1/3, the vinyl groove was at it’s widest, then came the microgroove and now we grooves equal to the size of a stereo record. So I’m not sure which of these grooves you’... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @wallytools From my understanding and maybe I'm wrong but I have read this claim, that a larger stylus will still ride far down into the groove wall and the difference in distance between the larger and smaller conical stylus is very minimal. This... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @wallytools Yes, I understand the theoretical principles involved. The size of the stylus is a factor here too. A larger stylus being exponentially more detrimental than a smaller stylus. My stylus is a 0.65 conical and my arm is a 9 inch set for ... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @intactaudio Saying that a conical stylus causes premature wear isn’t an outrages claim but I have no idea about what the groove would look like before and after. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say as such and while it’s a perfectly plau... | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @dogberry I’m just skeptical about the idea that using a certain mono cartridge on mono records will damage the mono record. I appreciate everyone’s views and experiences but I’d make the radical assumption that many cartridge designers would not ... | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? @emergingsoul NAIM is a British company. Their equipment is very well made. I’d say the NAIM sound signature is similar to that of McIntosh but priced a bit lower. I heard from a NAIM dealer that their flagship line of amplifiers do come with a se... | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? My amp has two power supplies and a battery. | |
| Mono Cartridge Question @intactaudio So what's the antidote? | |
| Mono Cartridge Question The AT 33 mono has a 0.65 conical stylus with vertical compliance which is why anyone can play a stereo record with this mono cartridge. I had a Grado mono with elliptical stylus and without vertical compliance and it destroyed any stereo record i... | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... @allenf1963 seeing that your post isn't censored, your comment seems paradoxical. | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... I don't know if any of you remember or were a part of the Gramophone Magazine Forum but I was a very early poster. Over the course of time people were down right repugnant. The level of insults, name calling, racially disparaging attacks, etc... b... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @mycarnival789 Sure I'm going to follow my heart or even more so, my wallet. I'm using a modified Thorens TD 160. It's essentially a TD 160 Super with the work I've put into it. So it's similar to your Linn but without the advantage of a decent Li... |
