just when the going was getting good.....
my condolences and I really can sympathize. all the pics i showed were of dead bodies....
i cancelled the 8MZ stylus in exchange for a vivid stylus for the Shure M97x. See if i can't kill that next.
I did place two circular cutout magnets on the front of a DL-103 and it reduced noise a bit. also on front of an Audio Technica AT14sa - but didn't notice anything.
I shoulda left that Black alone when I had it where it was. Just wanted to add more ferro.
Question: when placing the magnets on cartridges is it best to align straight at the magnet? Or lower towards the coils?
Idea is to concentrate the magnetic field on the coils, Makes for a more powerful motor assembly. You want to work with the existng magnetic field just strengthen it.
Most MC type have a yoe type assembly:magnet (s) on top and two pole pieces extending down ( like a horseshoe) to focus the field on the coil structure. Some MC use dual magnets front and rear instead
Of course MM are different, although the Grado follows the MC type construction. Shures literally have a moving magnet in the stylus assembly and the coils are on u shaped former going vertical and then back down.
so moving the magnets down toward the stylus on the 103 gets them closer to the coils.
I will have to have a look at the Shure's stylus when I get it. I may buy one of those $20 Shure's stylus' just to mess with.
