with Jico Sas...not bad...but not an exciting sound, nowhere near as exciting as the London....but then again there is not much as exciting as the London, but then again the London is quite colored....and looses composure easily...the Shure never does that.
When it comes to detail and refinement they both loose out to the Win SMC10 by a wide margin, but the SMC10 is on the border of tolerable resonant frequency with the epa250...bummer, it could be extremely good if it did not go into warble mode at times on warped records.....oh well maybe the next arm.

G'day mate, all ok then. As the Jico SAS stylus has a slightly 'peaked' treble response the optimum capacitance loading is probably slightly less for the flattest and most linear overall frequency response.As some of you will know I have done a lot of testing with the Shure M97xE with both load resistance and load capacitance. In the end I have settled on 47 k and 270 picofarads for the most pleasing and 'musical' sound, with the supplied Shure elliptical stylus. Regards, Felix.

hi felix,
i've been thinking about you and that you don't post at karma anymore. glad too see you here.
i have a v15Vxmr that, like most other shures, i couldn't warm up to its sound. i prefer low output MC carts and that was just made clear again when i went from my grace f9e to my AT150/170ML to my fidelity research FR1mk3. ahhh, home again.
now that i have a rogue triton phono preamp with adjustable capacitance and impedance, i can try the shure with other capacitance settings to see if things improve sonically.
...regards...tr
G'day mate, nice to hear from you again. Alas I'm not welcome at Karma anymore. It's a long sad story I'm afraid. All I'll say it's a bit of a 'moderator' issue!
Interesting on the Shure's too. Well on the V15VXmr, the last of the series was supposed to have the 'warm' Audiophile Response curve with the slightly rolled off upper treble.
Again the optimum capacitance loading is important (47 k and 250 picofarads). I did have a V15III and thought it was way too cold sounding and bright, and it needed a lot of load capacitance (around 500 picofarads) to 'tame' it down. Regards, Felix.
i was once ejected from the karma by Grumpy for a conflict, with him i believe where he did what he accused me of. at any rate, i made a public apology there to the general population so i could continue there.
you may or may not agree that there is some good entertainment there.
now back to the topic. after i experiment with the capacitance of the connection of the shure to my system, which may be a while due to my happiness with MCs right now.
looking forward to your input when i do AND to the actual results.
...regards...tr
