| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,Many thanks again: "the Audiocraft MC3000 fleshed out the Highphonic." That supports what Tommy from Topclass suggested about the AC3300 LB with AP-2 armwand being a good match. Problems with the postal service mean I'm still awaiting the sh... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,Your post has proven very enlightening and helpful. Yes the D15 does like solid state but I'm now in the process of changing the settings on my Essential phonostage. If that does not bring out the very best in the cartridge, I will be surpri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,It does beg that question but I think both mediums continue to offer a great deal. My Axel revamped Acutex 420 STR still amazes and is currently sat across from my Highphonic D15. Not too shabby!As always... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,Its presentation of the event is certainly 'different' from what I am accustomed to but I'm not certain about it being 'better' than the Glanz (particularly, my favourite of their line, the G5). It might well be but I am still trying to at... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Just to note that I am now the proud owner of a Highphonic MC-D15 cartridge. For this I owe Jonathan Carr a huge debt of gratitude for having brought this gem to my attention and for subsequently providing me with useful advice and support.... | |

| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Folks, just a quick update:I've been testing the Audio Technica AT150 ANV cartridge and been really impressed by it's performance (midrange in particular). Having given it a couple of months devoted listening this impression improved with the m... | |
| Stand out phono stages My modified Essential 3160 is simply phenomenal in its new manifestation. It is the best I have heard although no longer available (at least to these specifications!). It now carries my unreserved recommendation among the S.O.T.A contenders.I'll s... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dover,Congratulations. I still believe the Glanz cartridges are at the very top table of high end sound. I am still to hear the MFG-61 but expect nothing less than excellence and hope more become available to spread the joy. Happy listeningAs alwa... |
