In the Thread: Taking the mystery out of cartridge loading
Post Subject: Coughcoughbullshitcoughcough..Posted by Geoff on: 12/3/2007
I personally think Johnathan Carr is .....well.....yeah.
I've owned turntables since I was 18. I've tried many cartridges, many phono preamps, and tried the "exotic" cabling, gold connectors, etc... and I've tried capacitance loading and resistive loading and whatnot...
Basically, in short, what I've personally found is that one can be within 10% of what the cartridge demands and that is close enough. Getting it spot-on is not necessary, and it's a bit of a time waster to get it spot on, let alone within 0.1 ohms.
Getting your cartridge adjusted correctly (tracking force, asimuth, Vertical) is far more important, and it makes the greatest change in how your TT sounds.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
