Ceramic Cartridge Going Stiff

It s true that ceramics have a higher output and will follow roughly the riaa curve but it s also true that they really need a high impedance input which is likely on a valve tube amp but unlikely on a solid state auxiliary input.

Ceramic cartridge going stiff.

Wide spread faucets are common. Compression faucets use o rings to create a watertight seal inside the faucet. The brass and rubber can no longer fit properly into the hole in the cartridge cylinder and it can leak. Because internal ceramic plates move to control the water flow not exterior o rings and the unit must be replaced.

I posted a simple preamplifier using a single transistor. These parts can become damaged by the movement of the cartridge as it opens and closes. Foxinsox wrote hi all just thought i d share a tip if anyone is looking for a cheap and easy phono preamp that is suitable for ceramic cartridges. No modification to the actual circuitry is needed.

These consist of the mounts for the ceramic reeds and especially the bridge which transmits vibrations from the cantilever to the reeds. Other times there is a rubber brass or ceramic seat in the bottom of the cartridge opening which is actually forming the seal.

Ceramic cartridges are designed for a 3 10g weight as opposed to the older types working under pressure at 28g ouch.

As you twist the faucet s handles the turning of the valve stem increases or decreases the flow of water through the faucet. Plus you would need to preamplify the cartridge and cobble something to remove weight from the tone arm.
