Shure V15 Type V-MR, from their 1984 catalog - 1973shovel 04:36:42 09/26/20 (16)

My own frequency response measurement of my Shure V15VxMR - John Elison 05:30:26 09/26/20 (13)

Any idea what capacitance you were loading the Shure with, John? (nt) - 1973shovel 08:37:37 09/26/20 (12)

Ran a V-15 Type IV for a bit. It sounded best with a lower capacitance setting. - Opus 33 1/3 16:37:14 09/25/20 (4)

IIRC, the New Era carts were happier at around 200pf. - ghost of olddude55 04:20:43 09/26/20 (3)

So, had time to evaluate Ken's shelf yet? /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 05:04:49 09/26/20 (1)

Oh, yeah. The whole rig is sweet. - ghost of olddude55 09:40:09 09/26/20 (0)

I had the Type IV in the SL-150/Black Widow combo. Mt phono preamp had 100/200 pF - Opus 33 1/3 05:03:30 09/26/20 (0)

47 KOhms, 400-500 pf capacitance for old Shure V15s, like the III. - ghost of olddude55 16:11:15 09/25/20 (0)
