| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Apologies, Raul: Mr. Colloms' (1977 production only) recommended/not lists and your choices are not far apart. The info. concerning cartridge loading is somewhat technical, but agrees with your findings.www.bostonaudiosociety.org/pdf/bass/BASS-06-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jaspert, re M20FL: Too impatient to wait for delivery of my order, I borrowed a Sumiko magnesium headshell with silver leads, placed a thinned peice of mastic (modeler's clay) on top of the cartridge and seated my M20. Nylon washers between the he... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: The Ortofon sounds as if the vocalists are outside, it's not the season for caroling. I will wait for the mag. headshell and silver leads, then try one with more mass. I have a developing sense that each M20FL has it's own personali... | |
| How do I remove the platter from a Technics SP-25? Like the previous posters, I enjoy both. My SP-25 with an Infinity Black Widow TA has suffered at my hands since 1979 and is a great combo. As Mikkelbreiler states, the SP-15 has a reputation for damage to the shaft through forcing the platter off... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Recieved a NOS Grace F9-L (luminal-trace stylus), the enclosed F9-x instruction sheet contains information some may find of interest. The F9-E, U, D, and P cartridges all have output of 3.5mv., the "L" is 5.5mv. Freq. resp. is as fo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, Dgob. Thanks for your confirmation. I am hearing a relaxed, almost effortless presentation with the M20FL. However, bass seems slightly muddled with hesitant transitions in the 4-6hz range. Hf's are crisp with excellent definition. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Raul. Re the M20FL, if I can borrow this; "Now, as important is the cartridge load ( impedance/capacitance ) set up as important are all the other " normal " cartridge set up parameters". This is one finicky cartridge, perhaps the most... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards. In recent rotation, AKG P8E/X8S stylus. It's mounted on an ADC 9 gm. magnesium headshell. Cardas leads, 1.1 gm VTF, level VTA. Rich mids, crisp highs and with persuasive but unbloated bass. A Grace F9E, on a skeletonized Grace 7 gm. heads... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, if I may, Lewm's post of the 16th asks for replacement stylus for the AKG P8E. This is available from Jico. Search AKG P8E, eliptical is $49. Also, I must correct myself: the X8S stylus is eliptical, not shibata as I was informed when purcha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Can I take back what I said earlier about Raul's posts being shorter than mine? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Seasons Greetings Rual and yes, Axel, you have both "hit the nail on the head". It seems that most who post on A'gon accept that for many, subjective preference factors relate to performance assesment. Pleasure is difficult to quantify, statistics... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. Many thanks for your continued exploration of the high-end MM cartridge. The consequences have been rewarding and resulted in changes to my system and consequently, several conceptions. Having grown weary of aligning carts. with the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. All this interest in the 1000ZE/X has brought me to dig out my spare (in the box) stylus. The brochure included contains this information: Cart., 1000ZE/X, stylus S1000ZE/X-ERD. Freq. response, 4-40,000, output @ 5.0mv. Tracking 1/4... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Rual: As Axel observes, the V15-111 does indeed have "HF energy". As he notes, enough to overwhelm low and mid frequencies if not correctly set up. The JICO stylus makes this more evident. For those not familiar with this one, it should b... | |
| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm Original photos show the BW saddled with a Denon 103 of some designation. The Boston Audio Society, June 1980 issue, referenced it (among others) for the Dynavector Karat/Ruby: "(4) the Infinity Black Widow II -- so it is reported to us by reliabl... |
