The output by MC cartridges is measured with different test records and different ''speed'' so one can't  trust the''ássumed standard values''. By your EMT TDS 15  isthe output value according to the producer 0,21 mV whileaccording to ''usual meas... 
Tonearms with no anti-skate adjustment
I was very proud about myself when I got 90 microns ''pure'' frommy combo Sumiko 800 + Ortofon MC 30. But then I have readVan den Hul's warning not to use too much anti-skate needed forsuch values. Too much anti-skate was worse according to himthe... 
Best MM?
Dear chakster, I don't believe that you ever owned one ofthose ADC 25/26and 27. I just listened to my ADC 26 andam very much impressed. Never heard Portuguese guitarmore natural sounding before.  Speaking in your termsnever seen such low mass cant...

Sorry chakster, One should not trust anyone. I like you verymuch but according to Raul I own the ''best ever'' ADC 26which is according to you not only ''cheap'' but also mediocre.It is , obviously, in my own interest to believe Raul more thanyou....

Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
@schubert The British speaker producer Bowers&Wilkinsintroduced as first ''super tweeter'' . The general opinion thanwas that there is no sense to produce speakers with higherfrequency  than 14 Khz. Their super tweeter started by 14 Khz but co... 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
@schubert , Thanks!  I was wondering about those (very) old conductors also. Even more about my own sensitivity for the high frequencies because I hear nothing above 10Khz. BTW Kant's (aka German) ''moral philosophy'' was translated in Spanish and... 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
We hear with our ears but need to interpret what we hear withour whole brain. The ''classical'' nature- nurture question.One need only to listen to whatever Chinese opera to graspthe difference. Description of our ''inner ears'' will not do. Certa...

Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things.
Dear elizabeth, I am more optimistic because I believe that''conscious minds'' can produce clear statement which truthof falsity can be grasped. There is an short description forthis: ''facts are true statements''.  
Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things.
Curious thinking. We have ''all great music we'd miss out on if theydidn't EXIST'' while the ''SOUL of the music EXIST in the musicitself''. Identity of any entity exist in itself. This way we don't needto think about the question how properties a...
