| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: Excellent! Many thanks!Best,Bill | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thank you very much. What brand of capacitors would you recommend to provide capacitive loads? Kevin will install my choice. Thanks again.Bill | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul et al, what are the most useful capacitance values for a MM phono stage? Kevin at K&K has agreed to install a capacitance selector switch on my Maxxed Out. I can have up to 5 different values. What do you folks think they should be? Figur... | |
| Excellent MM phono stage w/ capacitance loading? I talked to Kevin and he's going to add a MM capacitance dial and some MM loading options to my Maxxed Out, along with some other upgrades. Thanks again for the suggestion. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree. I've worked out the bias pretty well for it on my Phantom (took the A/S weight off altogether) and the 4000D/III sounds astoundingly good with around 15 hours on it. Very live, detailed, and extended at both ends with a an organic, emotio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think you might be right. The eBay seller of the TRX-2 posted a pic that showed a single owner's manual for both cartridges. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Siniy123,Do you know whether the replacement stylus for the TRX-1 (part no. RTRX-1) will work in the TXR-2? Thakker has them NOS. The stylus for the TXR-2 (part no. RTRX-2) seems hard to source.Thanks,Bill | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Thanks for the comments. I already tried recalibrating the digital scale and setting VTF at 1.25. Needle looks intact under the digital microscope. Oddly, though, it's brown-gold in color like the cantilever. This is the "gold" version and it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Ddriveman, thanks for the suggestions. Level seems good. Platter is level; the Graham has a tiny built-in bubble-level to check VTA, and that direction is level; azimuth is perpendicular when viewed against a line parallel to the record surface... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm definitely not using a blank band to set anti-skate, or even to check it. I mention it only to illustrate the odd outward movement of the cartridge with no anti-skate set (beyond the .5g that occurs in a Graham when set to zero). If I set the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I recently picked up a NOS Empire 4000DIII "Gold" from an eBay seller (thanks to Acman3!). It arrived today; I mounted it in my Phantom II, aligned using a Wallytractor, removed the stylus guard (and busted it!), set VTF to 1 gr. per instructions,... | |
| Excellent MM phono stage w/ capacitance loading? That possibility is certainly worth investigating. Should have thought of it myself. Thanks! | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Addendum: the hole can be from 1.5 to 1.75 in. according to an email Bob Graham sent me a while back. | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? Yes on the wands. 1.5-in. hole, pivot-to-spindle 217.4 mm (roughly 8.5 in.). It's actually an extremely easy arm to mount because Graham includes a little nipple that fits over the spindle; then you fit a specified hole in the headshell onto the n... | |
| Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2? I don't know the Illustrious but the Graham 2.2 is a great arm. I've had one mounted on an Orbe SE for several years and think it's a great combo. All of the necessary adjustment parameters are at your finger tips with the 2.2. It's a fully realiz... |
