Okay fellow turntable enthusias, I admit that I should probably try a MC but it's out of my budget at this time.
I feel I've tried a lot of different tweaks and a few mods to squeeze out every possible detail on my Denon DP45F with a Nagaoka MP50 body and a JN-P500 stylus.
I have to admit, YMMV, the VTA adjustment seems to have the greatest affect on bringing out a wider soundstage but it also has its downfalls. Too much VTA and the vocals become distorted and the soundstage gets smaller. Not enough VTA and the vocals are very clear and the instruments can barely be heard. So after trying different shims to adjust the VTA, I settled with a shim height of 1.19mm, VTF of 1.75 and a hockey puck.
What I would like to hear is the vocals being very clear with a wide soundstage but I don't know if the Nagaoka will do that, at least I haven't figured it out yet.
If someone has some helpful advice on how it would be possible to achieve such detailed sounds, feel free to chime in.
Much appreciated,
Ron
