About this deal

I digitized at 96/24 a selection (Gigout's "Grand Chorus in Dialogue") from Music For Organ, Brass and Percussion (Columbia M 31193) featuring E. This information, which might be about you, your preferences, or your internet device (computer, tablet or mobile), is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to.

mil mono record groove, hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. Richer Sounds Ltd (Registered company address: Richer House, Gallery Court, Hankey Place, London, SE1 4BB. Hiend units can sum the two channels with extra electronics to eliminates the vertical response and improve the signal to noise by 3dB.

Special mention must be made of the transient abilities and high-frequency definition of the Micro-Line stylus. Microlinear profile diamond stylus offers high frequency response with less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli.

About a 1000 hours for an MicroLine ; 800 for a Shibata ; 500 for a Conical and 300 for an elliptical. Significant in this new line-up is the choice of more exotic stylus profiles, including Shibata and AT’s Micro-Line (ML) line-contact types.Despite what manufactures claim mono switches invariably add the two channels by simply shorting the two channels together, even very" expensive units do this. The E/H managed better than I expected with more punch and life than the C, but some coarseness and muddle in treble when the going got tough. OK, not a new idea but Audio Technica expand it by offering a broader range of interchangeable styli than usual – six in all. I use the ML for its superior tracking ability and incredible detail, but sometimes I throw the C stylus on there for fun and I’m always impressed by how it sounds.

The construction of the stylus being a one piece diamond with a round shank inserted in the cantilever creates a lighter and more rigid transmission system than a diamond tip bonded on a round titanium shank such as in the AT-VM95E. I started off on the conical 'C' for about a year, experimented a bit with the nude elliptical 'EN' in the interim, and eventually settled on the microline 'ML' which I'm currently using on my main setup. The better tips progressively improve high frequency retrieval and imaging, especially on inner grooves, but they don’t alter basic presentation: look to tapered aluminium pipe cantilevers of AT’s more expensive moving magnets (AT530 upward) for a punchier and less bland lower midrange. I was glad to see and hear in these two files that the dynamic range was left intact and they both sounds very good to me.

I use 20kohm parallel resistance with vm95ml - AT-LP5x - Kenwood KA 880D -combo to flatten the high frequency bump, and I can tell you that most of my vinyls sound noticably better than their cd counterparts. The elliptical shaped stylus bears greater resemblance to the triangular shaped cutting stylus that is used when cutting master records. Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. I have read and practiced over the years that you do want to turn on that last bit, which is above the -6db threshold (6 x the bit rate is the dynamic range).

My top-end hearing is weak due to age, which must make a difference, and I don't put a lot of priority on tonal balance. Also, being a conical, by nature it has a more bouncy, groovy sound than other narrower stylus profiles, and that quality makes the music come alive. I can think of several of his French contemporaries that would have made for better listening and sonic comparison, e.

Elliptical styli better read high frequencies, giving greater treble definition than a simple conical.
