Cartridge Exciter

exurbia · 9th April 2009, 01:22 PM

I saw this advertised on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ORB-CRE-1-Car...742.m153.l1262

it is a cartridge exciter, i've done a search on goolies and come up with next to no info, still don't know its use.

Any ideas

It's for making profit.

Seriously, the only thing I can think that it might do is to warm the cartridge suspension generating heat in it through damping losses. At the price the fellow wants, you could afford a decade's worth of electricity to run a small heater below the cartridge to keep it warm for the same effect.

I think it's a demagnetizer.

The "Beer Midget" (my other half) asks, How could you tell if your cartridge was excited or not ?

I am going to market a soft rubber coated device that runs on batteries and also vibrates. This will be called the "Cartridge owner Exciter" and carry some fine print that reads 'not for medicinal use'

I expect it will sell for quite a bit of dosh, and hope to gull a few of the less discriminating Audiofools.
I just love people with lots of money and will always help them part with it.

A bit like Harry Enfield and his shop 'I saw you coming'

I thought about buying one but then I thought... what if i just sprinkle Viagra on my stylus.. bingo .. 20 minutes later, my cartridge is way excited....no need for an exciter.
This is definitely from Voodo Audio.inc

How would you control that only cartridge owners benefit from it? You wouldn't want your device to be abused by cd owners who have never owned a cartridge, right?

Rubber-coated? Viagra?? Keep it clean blokes

How about parking a lady needle next to the one on the arm

just play a pipe band recording should contain all the range you will ever need.
