Best MM?

I am sorry if I look pedantic but I want to clear some confusion.

The confusion between quantifiers like ''all'' and ''some'' which we

use to express generality and numerical quantifiers like, say,

there are exactly  30 carts in my collection. My experience is

that the most easy way to explain (universal) quantifiers is:

''someone has stollen my car''. One can also say that the

difference is as between variables and names. If one ''sees''

variables as places were a name should be put in order to

complete a sentence and get an idea about the reference .

So individual statement about ''the best carts'' even by Raul

whom we assume to own the ''biggest collection of carts''

can only apply  to certain ''numerical quantifier''. Say 120.

I assume that he can count so he can ''discover'' how many

carts he owns. We will than know about how many carts he

pretend to judge ''which is the best'' among them.

Ergo: from my explanation how universal and numerical quantifier

work one can deduce that statement like ''Peter is the tallest guy

in the class but Lew is even taller''  are not allowed. But it

may be the case that Mexican grammar allows such statements.

I remmember many ''best cartridges'' according to Raul but

am really surprised with the newest kind regarding one of the

oldest carts: ADC 26. If we were informed about this curiosity by

the start of the MM thread we may have saved ''mucho dollares''.

On the other side chakster is legitimated to make categorical

statements about his 10 (?) cartridges such that AT 180 is the

best among his M'M''s and FR-7fz among his MC's.

Because our Lew has problems with ''categorical statements''

probably because he is not an Kantian or hate Germans we

can't know which of his 7(?) carts is the best. But what we do

 know  is that he likes his Ruby Grace, his Uruchi, his MC 2000 ,

etc., equal.  

I am clearing away my MM collection. Ask for the cart you

want.

Those members who complain not to be able to find the cart

they want  are only pretending. I wanted to help and offered my

whole MM collection (+ 40 samples) but nobody was really

interested. If one is reluctant to buy from an co-member then

they obviously prefer some  unknown sellers.

I hereby withrow my offer.

Hums proudness of ownership is a myth. I knew that I own

Stanton 981 ''somewhere'' . I own many boxes with parts

because my mom learned me never to trouw away anything.

The motto ''search  and you will find'' seems to work but only

sometime. I, alas, deed not find Stanton 981 but , to my big

surprise , ADC 26 . No idea when and how I got this one so,

obviously , I can impossible be proud of something that I

had no idea to own. I am ,alas, not a rich guy. So you can

imagine how many things the rich own about which they have

no idea that they own. I assume that Hume was an poor bastard

otherwise he would never make such nonsense. There is this,

say ''concept'' of saturation. Bread for example. The necessary

condition for survival. But nobody buy more than can eat.

Those who can afford much more than bread buy watches and

cars. The curious thing is that they are not able to invent

something else. what kind of proudness is involved by coping

others?

Anyway despite the fact that I owned ADC 25 in the 70is I

 then moved to MC kinds in order not to stay behind. But I

am still confused not with the nomenclature like by AT's

but with the styli . The assumption that people can remember

colors better than names is curious . Anyway I can't remember

any color in connection with stylus kind or shape . My ADC 26

is white but those for 25 are black. Is there any difference

between them except the color?

@chakster , Thanks ! As I stated before you ar the fastest

learning member of our forum. ''Our encyclopedia'' so  to speak.

No need to search on Google (grin). Curious how our brain

works. Anyway my. I have no idea how my ADC 25 sounded

but well its price back then. It was my own present to myself

for my Law degree. The price was ''astronomic''  for a student:

250 Dutch Gulden (= German mark). My scholarship was 200.

 With the usual inflation the present price should be above 1000

euro. I am not aware that you belong to the new Russian rich and

don't understand why you call those ADC' s ''cheap''.

I intend to try my ADC 26 today.

Sorry chakster, One should not trust anyone. I like you very

much but according to Raul I own the ''best ever'' ADC 26

which is according to you not only ''cheap'' but also mediocre.

It is , obviously, in my own interest to believe Raul more than

you. Besides I own about 40 MM carts thanks Raul's carts

of the week , the months and now of all years.

Dear chakster, I don't believe that you ever owned one of

those ADC 25/26and 27. I just listened to my ADC 26 and

am very much impressed. Never heard Portuguese guitar

more natural sounding before.  Speaking in your terms

never seen such low mass cantilever/stylus combo. My

only problem is light hum which I only get with MM carts and

never with my MC carts. I deed try everything but alas.

My only new idea is to connect ground of both cart connectors

together. Ground is an real enigma but looks very simple

because everything is connected with ''the same'' ground.

But before trying I hope to hear from my comembers if

anybody has try this ''solution''.
