ok...here we go.....i am not sure i see anyone talking much about head shell to cartridge cables.
I have a few head shells, mostly AT...actually they may all be though might have an old Ortofon around. Actually bought a nice AT silver head shell to put my VM760SLC on but in the long run there seemed to be a hum in the right channel but it seemingly went away when i switched the cartridge to the head shell that came with my SL100C. Assuming a head shell can be bad? I also noticed the cables on the technics head shell were (i would bet) almost 50% thicker....the AT's are teeny tiny thin.
Now i have a VMN40ML that i bought from them already on their head shell that works fine...was my first upgrade, though i find it to be a bit too bright with the new table and the Hegel 190V phono stage. Was sweet with the old AT table and Marantz
So....two questions.
1 - can a head shell actually improve the performance of a cartridge?...and is it or can it be cartridge specific?
2 - upgrading cables.... the cables from cartridge to head shell?....i just recently looked as saw they are available...has anyone done it?....and what did you use?.....and the results?
.....ok, that ultimately is really more than two questions....oh well...one more?
any recommendations for perfect matching cartridge...one that will excel on the technics table.
of note, overall i really like the VM760SLC but i find i like to play with them all a bit and always on the look out for an open box on something.
oh...i do have a Cambridge phono stage that is not in use right now, so could do use that for a MC if i ever pick one up.
