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...

Who know anything about this needle?I am playing now this CG-25 - my new Ortofon replacement. This new cartridge is turn out to be “MONO CG 25 Di”. It looks and feel completely different and this CG-25 is what I called the TRUE mono cartridge. I...

Do any of you, the SPU Mono users, know how the SPU MONO coils wired internally? Is it a stereo cartridge strapped mono or it is a single coil cartridge with two channels running in parallel from the same coil? Is anyhow even seen any...

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...

OK, I will try the SPU mono. I have some questions: It comes in a headshell with SME bayonet. I really do not need it. Can I remove the cartridge and mount it on a normal “tow-holes from top” tonearm? If it is removable then what be the mass of the ...

[quote user="Brian Clark"]I will be VERY interested in your more thorough evaluation. I hummed and hawed between the CG 25Dia and the SPU Mono before springing for the latter, expected next week. My speakers could do with a bit of upper bass help.[/q...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

Ok, was playing the tonearm today all day long. It dose work fine. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything further on about its sound as I finally concluded that I need a better mono cartridge. Screw you Denon-102! I can’t listen this midrange pusher any...

With SME 3012 (Shelter 901), Ortofon RMG 309 (Orotofon S15-T) and Micro 237 (french mono cartridge early 50's, unbeatable)...I couldn't really get the sound I wanted out of the TT until I put it on the SR stands, I envy your vibraplane but trying shi...

I do not know anything more about them, but they seem to be a recent/new cartridge maker from Germany, what inclusive make a mono cartridge:http://tedeska.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-_w7IRQPeYIf anyone already is experienced with that cartr...

[quote user="drdna"] The Decca London Reference appears ideal. I am probably going to buy one of these. Romy, you are free to borrow it if you wish to listen to it; just do not break it. [/quote]
Possible it is a good cartridge, I do not...

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 ...

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...

Actually I use Koussevitzky 1949 version of Tchaikovsky’s IV (first movement) to assess my mono analog. There is not doubts in my mind that any more or less serious records enthuses much have a dedicated mono cartridge, preferably permanently install...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]On the Ortofon website those models of the SPU which don't come with inbuilt transformers, have a recommended load of >100 ohm. Using the cartridge into too low an impedance load definitely does lift the lower frequencie...

Ok Romy thanks for advice. I will see about the loading for my shelter, and my cable to the step-up is nothing special. I am going to listen to mono only for next few weeks and see if i find the "same character of sound everywhere" syndrome! I do h...

Hi Romy,Due in part to your enthusiasm for the older 78 rpm recordings and in part to my own curiosity I have decided to add the facility to play these to my system. It also helps that an old aunt has given me a large quantity of classical recordings...

Hi Romy,How do I stuff the SME headshell (or other headshells) with silicon? I am tech idiot and can't imagine how to keep the silicon from just running out of the headshell, is there a type of silicon that dries after application I guess? By the way...

Yes i am glad to not be in cartridge market either. Of all the equipment i hve biught, auditioned, researched, the cartridge is,the most elusive. Tou,have no idea if,the hifi store, reviewer, internet guy has set up the thing properly, and the number...

I have been running my new Ortofon SPU Mono cartridge and can’t figure out why SPU has such a strong positive reputation and why some SPU users when I ask them about Sound of those cartridge they roll up their eyes. Yes, it is all around fine cartrid...

Ronny, I might not be necessarily silicon, volcanic stones or compressed particles from the Galileo comet. Any none-magnetic mass will do, I use any bronze bolt if I wish. My selection of silicone was just because it is damping and convenient. I use ...

Hi Romy,Well maybe it is that the answer. My mono is pierre clement eb 25 broadcast cartridge, the original not the contemporary remake. The output is extremely high, almost overwhelming my phono amp I have the impression. Also, it tracks very heavy...

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...

I would like to remind that many, unfortunately very many people use VTA for a tonal balance of their analog setups. DO NOT DO IT! VTA is not the tool that should be used to make sound more or less tonally brighter or to make the LF more or less damp...

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 appl...

I do not have good-sounding high output cartridges; my most high-voltage cartridge is SPU MONO that is 3mV I believe. I have 5mV Grado $300 Platinum Ref that is high-voltage cartridge but is sounds not seriously. My desire to bring my 3mV SPU via my ...
