John, I had nothing to do with Voyd or Pink Triangle, I also not a big fan of Audio Note UK.
Mono cartridges is good, in fact I feel that Mono Cartridges IS A MUST for anyone who do analog more of less serious. Defiantly a second arm is more conveni...

My Ortofon T3000 SUT is wound with "20-9s" silver (or some such shit) over some sort of super-duper core, all wrapped in Mu metal. Since it is designed from scratch to partner with the Ortofon MC3000 II cartridge I use, I would really hope it "works...

Since I left with only 3 arm for my TT I asked myself what arm I will use for my mono cartridge. I would like to have 12” arm an arm that is comfortable. I have an old 3009 but it is original vision Mk1. The collectors love it but I do not find...

Dear Paul,Generally I can say a lot lower sound floor, You hear more detail with less compression. Very open. I compared it with Mayajima Shilabe and Ortofon Royal N, with Ortofon 12", SME 3012 and TW Raven tone arms. As you see I'm using "heavy" arm...

Axel:One wonders how much one must pay to get it right from the start...Actually, the "sagging" cantilever is not peculiar to the Jubilee or the Windfeld, but it has been a long-standing problem for Ortofon on a number of their more expensive cartrid...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, I would call Jubilee as a noise highlighting cartridge. (BTW, there is one subject regarding it that I need to look further ….) [/quote]
This is VERY interesting phenomena that I am trying to decipher but so far unsuc...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

Where those EdgarHorn Titans with the Edgar’s woofers? I ask because I am very concerned about the LF response. The Shelter 901 has phenomenal bass in my view, even now. In fact all my system/room in a way “calibrated” from the bass that Shelte...

Adrian, I am cynical enough to take seriously news of QC issues from any manufacturer. I heard about sagging cantilevers with the 3000, way back when, but went ahead, and it worked out for me. But I would certainly do my homework before I shelled o...

Hi Alex,I am sorry, what you claim can not be. No cap is going to separate bass instruments better.The brilliance of the 834p circuit is that the EQ also uses the miller capacitance of the tubes in a very brilliant way. The power supply caps are very...

i agree that there are more audiophile cartridges around than the dl103. but except maybe for the ortofon classic, they all have non-spherical stylii. i am sure that a lot of the "air", "space", "bloom" etc. of today's cartridges is actually distorti...

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

The regular visitors of my site know about my recent frustrations with my new Ortofon SPU cartridge for my “mono tonearm”: Is it all that Ortofon SPU can do? Today I made some alternations that more or less cured the audio problem and I decided ...
|

I, after being sick and tired form the Denon 102 misery, got the Ortofon Mono needle. I was under impression that Ortofon Mono was true mono cartridge with one coil. However, when I opened it up to mount it’s insert on my “Chernobyl Spinnaker” tonear...

I have compaired the Ortofon Jubilee to the MC3000II. The former is more "unctuous", "viscous", "smooth", or "suave", and easier on recordings, per se. The latter, although very tape-like in balance, attack and transparency, is less ...

Hi, [quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eventually!!!! Here is THE subject that actually worth to talk about: how the 103 enrich your sonic prejudices. Be advised that I use the phrase “sonic prejudices” in highly positive light. May I ask you what you like i...

I juts got home, put a record to play and suddenly discovered that my SPU has it’s cantilever bent 90 degree and then even twisted vertically. It was perfectly fine last night!!! I have no idea what kind forced what applied to it and particularly how...

Well I'll 'fess up to the possible reason that this thread has had so many hits, I linked it to a thread on another site that has a few 103 owners (and remember for every owner there are many reading/waiting to become disciples due to the "...

It was kind of strange news:

“This year we are very proud and honoured to introduce our new High End cartridge MC Anna, dedicated to the virtuoso op...

Romy, is that an SPU Mono that you have there? This converted stereo cartridge (SPU = Stereo Pick Up) has its coils rotated 45 degrees to reduce vertical sensing.
The Ortofon C Series are the genuine mono cartridges - the motor system is the same ...

N-set. I am sorry to hear that you have in any way been itouched by the greedy, filthy, heartless assholes who keep coming up with justifications for wars. May thay live forever where everyone is exactly like they are.
As for the SUT, this seems l...

The whole presentation of sound is very different with your and my file. Your file is very lush sounding. It is very pleasant but a bit too euphoric for THIS music. My file is much more dynamic (if comes from my transformer) and in the way this dynam...

Tks Romy, well...the SME has actually a mass of 9.5gr. Could eventually use a Micro MA505 with a slightely higher mass (guess around 11gr), have u ever tried it with the Shelter ? Was also wondering if the Ortofon T30 cd be used with some sense to ch...
|
|
It's probably as good or even worse than Acoustic Solid, Acoustic Signature , VPI , Teres , Galibier and army of heavy TT's you don't have to rob a bank and can buy third hand for fraction of original price. My undersanding is there weren't many heav...

Romy,I use Ortofon Rondo Bronze with Nottingham Spacearm and Spacedeck. I hate Spacearm because bad tracking. Also, I can't add mass to Spacearm.I going to try a heavy tonearm.Fidelity Research FR-64FX with Ortofon Rondo Bronze (compliance is 15mm/uN...

I even never thought about “damaging of stereo records” as there are other objectives to peruse mono cartridge.
Anyhow, I appreciate your help, Brain. I understand that White/Blue and Red/Green carry identical signal but it is not the question. The...
|
|
I also built one. It does not have enough gain for a low output MC cartridge. You need a step up transformer. I use an Ortofon T30....
|
|
Sorry Romy I should have said output voltage and Internal impedance, DC resistance. For example the Ortofon Cadenza Black has an Internal impedance DC resistance of 5 Ohms and Output voltage at 1000 hz, 5cm/sec. 0,3 mV ...
