| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Thanks Al, I always appreciate your advice. That info from the manual is what I followed verbatim. Dial set to zero, moved counterweight till arm was floating, etc. It was really quite easy. Used the hex screw setting; that is when I used a ruler ... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Lastly my friends, any recommendations of a HOMC cart would be appreciated. Since I blew the money on the Rega my budget would be $200-250.And it seems that the Denon DL-160 has been discontinued. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? And Al, I missed your post. Gee you have a good memory, I do have collection of Telarc on vinyl. They and Decca Digital have very good sonics. I do stay away from Digitally mastered LPs unless it's a must-own item. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Thank you all for the replies and such valuable information.It seems that a high output MC is what I need to match my phono stage. I think my local HiFi shop just wanted to sell me a Rega w/o asking any pertinent questions. I will be making a visi... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Zavato, I set VTF on my Axis with a ruler and it is horizontal to platter; I was told this is correct position.As far as my REFERENCE Classical, I'm using analogue mastered LPs from 60s and 70s...Decca, Philips, DG, and you are quite right, the di... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Thanks, Zd542, maybe it's just breakin. I'll have to hope that the alignment is correct since I carried my TT into the Rega dealer for the setup. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Thanks for the info on Capacitance, Al and I'll try switching to opposite setting.Phono cable is stock 3 ft. and am waiting to upgrade after I get the cart problem worked out. As far as the cable, the Linn expert who rebuilt the table (Rick at Aud... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Al, no it's not a volume issue, so I'm sure it's set to MM (45 dB), although I will open it up when I have time end of the week to try your suggestions. Let me describe what sound I'm getting...you know when you have a poor CDP and it has glare on... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? Al...The phono stage is a SS built-in to the Rogue Perseus Magnum (4 12AU7 RCA Blackplates). I think resistance is set to 47K ohm for MM. The only settings for capacitance are150pF and 0 PF. MM has no PF setting.Manitunc...good question. My Classi... | |
| When did you start to love music and why? 1960s, my parents bought a "HIFI;" one of those large pieces of furniture with a desktop that opens to reveal a record player and storage area for LPs. On the front were the Lf and Rt speakers covered with some fabric.Anyway, I grew to hate music ... | |
| Possible Desktop Speakers? "Its an l shaped desk with a wall behind me and to my right."Got it. So u really don't need a massive amount of power, just a good match between amp and speakers. Some good advice from Al as usual. | |
| Possible Desktop Speakers? Jkman..Is the type of layout you are talking about? Check out pic of desk...http://blog.bowers-wilkins.com/speakers/computer-speakers/massive-sound-minimum-footprint-tone-audio-mm-1-review/ | |
| Possible Desktop Speakers? It seems to me that an integrated amp with high power/current would serve your purpose. ARC separates are overkill for a small desktop listening area. Unless you're planning for the future and expanding your listening area.So many good integrateds... | |
| Who's with me? Onhwy61, that's an interesting article but I've used compressor/limiters when I was an audio engineer, so I guess your point is that compression is used to shape the sound in the mix.My point was that an overly compressed data file can ruin an aud... | |
| Who's with me? You're right, Onhwy61. There was always some compression used in the mixing process, but with today's recordings the final master gets additional compression onto a digital file; and various compression rates according to it's final medium...cd, s... |
