Mono
Primer
In a stereo groove, the stylus moves both laterally and
vertically to produce the stereo soundstage. In a mono groove, the stylus only
moves laterally. However, groove surface imperfections and cutting
abnormalities can cause the stylus to move vertically. This produces out of
phase stereo noise and distortion that has no relationship to the
actual recording. When you combine the left and right channels with the MSX-1,
those aberrations effectively cancel out leaving a cleaner, quieter surface and
better focused sound. Thus achieving electrically , what is often claimed to
only be possible with a special cartridge.
Switching is performed using a Panasonic ASX22003
Latching telecom relay. This relay is specifically designed for switching very
low level signals using specially plated contacts: Stationary contact: AgPd+Au
clad, Movable contact: AgPd
Latching relays are unique in the way they function.
Normally, we think of relays as on and off devices using power constantly when
on. Latching relays use a mechanical latch to hold the relay in each postition,
so power is only used to make the transition. Remove the power and the relay
stays until you command it to change. Power is only used in short pulses,
making long battery life possible. |
