This question is sort of off-topic, but I'm pretty sure some kind person here will answer the question :) I'm busy digitizing my LP's (slow.....) - my nephew (who of course has never even seen one before) was nice enough to drop the needle right on the platter for me - toast! It's a JVC JL-F30 turntable, with an ADC brand cartridge with a slip-on stylus - QLM 33 MKIII. So I went and got an Ortofon OM5E cartridge; I've seen good reviews, etc. Well, first thing I noticed is I don't seem to have the same dynamic range when I look at my recorded waveforms - ie. the loud bits aren't as much louder than the silences as with the old needle. I put the same song side-by-side, there seems to be about a 15db difference. Does this make sense? Am I going to regret doing the rest of the albums with the Ortofon cartridge? Any tips? Thanks!
