| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Then would you also agree that we should discard all those old M/M cartridges that are surely full of the same old and bad sounding wire that is wrapped around their coils? Yes, the very ones that you have been raving about since the ... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Catcher 10AT will not only provide no support for warranty repair but will provide not support of 'ANY' repairs if the item was not bought from an authorized US supplier. This is even if you agree to pay all charges. I find this a bit strange but... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? normansizemore, I wish I had a dollar for every time I have head that statement, "I wish I had kept my Dynaco's". It's the "Sansui" that I miss! Those old amps are almost 'spellbinding' in how they capture your senses!Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ddriveman,I also read that 'shootout' and found it quite informative. I honestly do not remember on what forum it was posted on but I sure would like to re-read it again. I had at the time, the FR-7. After that read, I bought a NOS FR-7fz. Wha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? chakster, Yes, many nice improvements but still one missing. It would be great if pictures could be posted. Sometimes it is hard to describe something and having a picture makes it so much more understandable. Perhaps the next improvement cycl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I guess we all should discard our Marantz's, McIntosh's, and Dynaco amps because of all that old bad sounding wire that is in those transformers! Surprising that Electrical Engineers (certified, not so called self taught), feel that it is this ol... | |
| Should I consider a cartridge upgrade? If the point is to put together the most expensive system, then I would understand the use of $24000 cables. But if the point is to put together the best sounding system, then why is even any ''price'' mentioned? Price doesn't equal or equate q... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My dear comrade Nandric, This ''infection'' that you are spreading is getting expensive! (grin)This all began innocently enough with those M/M's. It was and still is fun to return to those old cartridges from our youth. Many of those I lusted... | |
| Any love for the Phillips GA212 or 312? I still have my GA-312 which I bought new back in the early 70's. It is one of three turntables I currently own, It doesn't get used much. It has been replaced by my a Victor TT-81 and the VPI Aries. It was and is an very good TT and does look... | |
| Right channel makes raspy noise when playing records In addition to stringreen's suggestion, try giving the stylus a good cleaning. Might be something stuck on the side of the diamond tip giving you that odd sound on that right side only. Might also be a chipped stylus?Regards, | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Lewm,Back in the day, I had a Sansui Quad system. A QXR 7001. That 100K load was to be use when playing those 4 channel records. The 100K load setting was not needed nor used if you were using it to listen to 2 channel recordings. When playing ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I own 2 of the X-1 MKII's. One is NOS. I also own an original Z-1 with a NOS beryllium cantilever/shabita tip. Also own the Z-1 SAS. I question anyone's sanity looking for a X-1 MKII (which they might never find in uasble condition), when... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Fleib,I have use my ART 9 on both the JVC 7045 and the Graham 2.2. I will at some point in the future, mount my Lustre GST-801 which is referred to as a heavy arm and give you an additional update using the ART 9.Performs beautifully with the 2 a... | |
| Cartridge headshell, what would you choose and why? The majority of head shells are made by various manufacturers and then branded by whom ever! Just because Ortofon's name is on it, doesn't necessarily mean that Ortofon made it. The head shell itself is compatible with the TA-110 arm. Now wheth... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, Interesting comment in regards to the LpGear's Vivid Line. Back when we were experimenting with transplants to the ClearAudio Virtuoso, a couple of my transplants consisted of the LP/Gears Vivid Line and also the Jico Shibata. I much pre... |
