mustang_flht Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Salut, @ GW Smith Doug Sax preferred MM cartridges, it's two preferred cartridges were the Stanton 881S and the Audiotechnica AT-ML170. Doug Sax say : “I like moving coils . . . in other people’s systems.” I think the modern cartridge that most closely resembles what he liked and the Audiotechnica VM540ML or VM740ML, you have to load them well at 100 to 200pF. Unfortunately the Stantons are no longer manufactured. You know that the ML or Stereohedron and fine line styli protect better and wear less discs like your precious Sheffield than the elliptical of your 2M blue. https://www.magneticfidelity.com/sax.shtml https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/two-moving-magnets-and-a-moving-iron Mines 😉 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This morning, I was a little bit in shock when I read that Michael Fremer is leaving analogplanet.com What?! Michael Fremer IS analogplanet! Read about it here: https://www.analogplanet.com/content/welcome-analog-planet-20#comment-585186 After some google use, I found his new project: https://trackingangle.com/ You can add your name and email to a mailing list. I've done that already. In his own words: TrackingAngle.com is the new online home of the pioneering 1990s print magazine The Tracking Angle I edited and produced in partnership with Nick Despotopoulos and David L’Heureux. I will leave AnalogPlanet at the end of June, 2022 to launch this new venture and bring with me to TrackingAngle.com my talented writing staff as well as introduce to you some new contributors—and watch for the new TrackingAngle YouTube channel. Reuniting with Nick and David, we will continue to produce the Internet’s most comprehensive reviews of recorded music and affordable audio equipment, with a focus on analog playback. In addition there will be new features and other content focused on the worldwide vinyl resurgence. If you don't know Michael Fremer, you must be a Martian... , but here is his first 'new' video: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I have a question on Left/Right channel separation. I recently bought a new pickup needle for my Technics SL DL1, and I have noticed that the Left/Right channel separation is much greater than before. The sound seems to come from the further left of my left speaker, and from the further right of my right speaker. (I hope you get what I mean with this). When comparing a song on Spotify (eg Hotel California), with my vinyl record playback, the difference is quite remarkable, and even upsetting. On Spotify, the singer's voice is in de middle, on the front, while on vinyl it is in de middle, but in the back. The difference is so huge, it is kind of confusing, and it makes me wonder which of both the original artist intented... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Morning Melo , if the channel seperation isn´t correct you need to re-align the Azymuth balance from the whole cartrige at the position where it is fixed in your tangend arm, it must be very well balanced . Another option is that the needle slot doesn´t fit perfect into the cartridge. Or you may check the cable connections from the pick up . Have a look at these three possible option. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I checked everything, and gave it a good clean too, and I think there's nothing wrong with the needle etc. I'm currently listening to Talk Talk's It's my Life on vinyl, and it sounds just fine! So I think the mixing/mastering of the vinyl record of Hotel California is quite different compared to what Spotify is streaming (a re-master?). 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
