I have 3-way UG Jubs with TADs 4002/691s and 884 and 684 subs. All that in any 2-way/3-way + either subs combo simply does not approach the new Heritage Jubs. I was there and heard them side by side. A different beast altogether.
But........I'm actually very happy with all that as is........for now. Where else you gonna go? MCM maybe?
Ok with that being said, is there a large gap in fidelity for the high frequencies and upper mids between the 3 way Jubes and the Heritage Jubes?
I am assuming the Heritage Jubes sound more coherent. But the 3 ways were more prominent In the high frequencies compared to the older 2 way UG Jubes I heard .
I am not interested in differences in the lower frequencies since I will always use horn loaded subs.
Now it is so far. I dare once again the jump into the world of moving coil TA's. Not that I had not previously owned some, there were already some, for example Wega, Sony, Denon, Ortofon. Since I now have the Trichord Phono Pre it´s not longer a problem to this also optimally adapt.
After a long time back and forth, I would like to feel my way back to it and don´t want to spend....1 K€ or whatever and this is still upscale entry level, no that´s not my business .
Accordingly, I have decided for a " Vintage MC " Yamaha MC 11, it is NoS and have purchased it on Sunday. It´s on it´s way to me already.
Technical data as follows :
Type: moving coil
Output Voltage: 0,35 mV
Frequency Response: 10Hz-50kHz
Tracking Force: 1.8g
Mass: 5.3g
Channel Separation: 28dB
Output Impedance: 30 ohms
Stylus Tip: elliptical
Cantilever : aluminum
Dynamic Compliance: 7 x10-6cm/Dyne
Can adjust it optimally on the Trichord as follows: load 1.1 nF 33 ohms, gain 0.25 to 0.4 mV = 70 dB gain.
What I have read has impressed me , it probably plays better than his " big " still popular brother MC 9 , is said to play far above the Denon DL 103 ,above the Audio Technica 30 E or AT OC-9 and others.
Should be able to reproduce space and depth , plays more homogeneous and musical than the MC 9 . The detail resolution is more accurate , the localization sharpness very precise in depth. Reminds sonically of the Grace F9. It sounds very dynamic and agile with really good and especially dry low bass on medium-heavy arms around the 14-15gr.
The preconditions are given to drive it optimally .
Let´s hear how it sounds , will tell you in a few days
If you haven't already, I suggest you read this. It kind of explains why I don't rely on measurements to make the room sound good. Yes, measuring is important. But I tend to use it more as a confirmation tool rather than something to guide me along my way.
