| Cartridge Advice Please Well, the fact is that Nagaoka MP150 is one of the lowest model in Nagaoka line, it has Elliptical stylus on Aluminum cantilever, nothing special compared to Shibata stylus on rare Beryllium cantilevers of AT20Sla or giant killer Victor X1II. I fo... | |

| Cartridge Advice Please If you want to go lower in price to get superb quality you can try AT20SLa Limited Editon with genuine AT20SL (Beryllium/Shibata) stylus. This is very rare MM cartridge. I think the realistic price for this gem in perfect condition is $300-400. Th... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm just collect the arguments, i do not take anyone's opinion too seriously. Jonathan Carr did not find any advantages in Raul's long time favorite 100c mk4, but he has mentioned Victor L-1000 MC as very unique design with tiny printed coil right... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Unfortunately J.Carr's statement is outdated on this forum, but the Ledermann's statement is dated October 2017 and he speak about MI (not MM). It worth to watch just to see Peter and to check some technical data he's talking about. | |
