前回のSP用に引き続き、代表的なモノラルカートリッジを鳴き合わせしてみました。


GE バリレラ VRⅡ 米製互換ダイヤモンド針

DENON DL-102

Vinyl Audio Laboratory MGF-MO1S


レコード聴きながら順に替えて比べてみたのですが、それでも特徴が違うのは一聴して分かりました。


大まかに言うと


バリレラ

明るく軽やかで乾いた音。

高音域が派手目。音が出た瞬間から楽しさが伝わるような音作り。

特定の音域に独特のトーンが乗ることがあるが、これが割と良い感じ。

アメリカーンな音で、まとめ方は流石。

バリレラは長いことSP用だけ使っていたので、この針を取り付けた時は随分と華奢な印象を受けましたが、針圧、回転数が違うものですから当然と言えば当然です。


デンオン

真面目ですね。

重心が下がり安定感が出ますが、落ち着くかというと細身で暗めな音色がそれを邪魔している。

デンオンの鉄心型特有の響きが出ることがあります。


VALは自身の作なので言うまでもなく、ストレートな音で真面目で細かい音をよく拾いリアリティが格段に上がります。


カートリッジを複数持って時々替えて聴かれている方は多いかもしれません。

それぞれの持つ個性を上手く使い分けると楽しく聴けると思います。

リファレンス的な物を持つ一方である種の世界を楽しめるコレクションにするのも良い楽しみだと思います。


試聴の感想とは、ある装置群、あるレコードで聴いた個人の印象です。

I listened a record with 3types cartridges.

VR IIby GE, DL-102 by DENON, MGF-MO1S by Vinyl Audio Laboratory(VAL).


My impressions were;


GE played cheerful atmosphere, American sound. Not play so delicate, minute, so many details but make me happy, cheerful.


DENON played serious and stability sound but little dark, blurred outlines of each sounds.

Sometimes I heard the resonance sound which was owed to its iron core construction.


VAL played correct, just like, realistic, serious, reproductive stage

Not dark, not blurred as the real players were in front of me.

​​[Important Notice]

Regarding Product Inquiries and Procurement Channels
The products developed and manufactured by our laboratory are entirely handcrafted and individually inspected by a few staffs.

Because we deeply value delivering our products based on a transparent and sincere relationship of trust,

we kindly ask for your cooperation regarding procurement channels .

​

💡 Consult with Us Before Finalizing Channels

If you would like to ask whether it is possible to purchase through a specific dealer you frequently visit,

please feel free to consult with us via email beforehand.
However, if an arrangement or transaction channel is finalized before consulting with us,

and it involves an irresponsible broker,  we may not be able to guarantee proper product delivery or after-sales care.

In such cases, we may respectfully propose switching to a direct transaction, or we may be unable to accept the order.

Please consult with us via email during the planning stage of your purchase.


⚠️ Caution Regarding Non-Recommended and Irresponsible Intermediaries
On the other hand, there are certain intermediaries and unauthorized entities

with whom we cannot recommend dealing and with whom we have no association whatsoever.

Please exercise caution regarding procurement through intermediaries who display the following characteristics:

・Entitles who have not familiarized themselves with our technologies, products, how-to or policies, been never studying,

and are unable to explain them.
・Entities requesting direct shipment to the end customer without receiving the product themselves
・Brokers who accept orders from customers but refuse to handle or inspect the product,

requesting that our laboratory ship it directly to the customer solely to extract middleman margins.
・Entities offering no after-sales support to their own clients,
・Intermediaries who receive payment or margins from customers but completely abandon standard customer service,

such as explaining proper usage or assisting with initial care.
・Entities deflecting all issues or questions entirely to our laboratory
・Intermediaries
who refuse to assist when a question or issue arises between them and the customer,

simply telling the customer to deal with us directly while avoiding any accountability.
 

Our laboratory does not recognize the validity of such irresponsible entities,

and we cannot assume any responsibility for issues arising through these channels.


🎵 Please Share Your Passion for Music and Favorite Artists
Whether you contact us directly or through a trusted introduction,

we highly appreciate it if you could share the musical genres you enjoy and the specific artists you wish to hear in the highest fidelity.
Sharing the musical eras and artists you love allows me to offer tailored recommendations,

such as suggesting a specific model that would best resonate with your listening habits.​
