| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is the same seller who has a bunch of Glanz cartridges, some dead stock. He also offering repair service for Victor X1 suspension. Make sure to check it's the original. I've been watching this technics stylus for about 2-3 years from this sel... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice I am precise as much as your best MC cartridge, lol Even AT-ML150 cantilever is Gold Plated too, but it’s not Boron, it’s Gold Plated Beryllium. Here is a picture of my ex AT-ML150. So i just don’t know anything about your 160 model (can be beryll... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Never seen AT-ML160, it can be closer to AT-ML150 which has a beryllium cantilever, the 150 is also very good cartridge, but not as good as the 170.AT-ML180 is completely different compard to all of them. The problem with the 160 models is that yo... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Yeah, closer to the original, unfortunately hollow pipe boron is not available anymore in the world (which makes the original cartridge so special). I would use boron with microline/microridge type of diamonds. They call it paratrace. See below wh... | |
| Has anyone heard the Miyajima 'Snakewood' cartridge, After your post i saw a few other models in snakewood body. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @downunder it was available for at least 2 years from this seller on various sources in the internet. The price is high. The more important is the condition of the damper, most likely it must be dead (low rider), do you have it? | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice The original is gold plated hollow pipe boron with tiny nude microline stylus, i have a few samples of perfectly working at-ml180 and at-ml170. I also have a few broken samples of both, one of them is here. I think the best option is Expert Stylus... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @daveyf Chakster, if you enjoy an old cartridge that is more than likely destroying your vinyl, so be it. Cartridges are a wear item, plain and simple. Like Clearthinks stated, just one play can easily damage the groove if the cartridge is badly ... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? New cartridge is not a new car, you tell me what is the advantages of the new cartridge in terms of material used (compared to those carts made in the 80s)? Do you hear the difference between brand new $4000 MC cartridges and $16000 MC cartridges?... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @clearthink cost has nothing to do with performance, if you think $1000 is modest price then you are ignoring the world of vintage cartridges, they are all under $1000, sometimes 50%, but they are easily killing those $3000 MC carts and we have de... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @daveyf at the same time there are many people who can buy demo from the dealer with warranty to save 30-40% at least on multi thousand $$ cartridge, most likely you're talking about MC cart only. Demo unitls sells well, in fact i bought demo amp,... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @chadlesko well, if you're a true analog hobbiest don't fool yourself and just realize that you will change the cartridges from time to time over the years anyway. This is the only way to learn more about cartridges, analog playback and the potent... | |
| Recommedation for Phono Pre for my modest rig For MM cartridge this phono stage is amazing and reasonably priced, not every phono stage will give you the opportunity to change load resistors (rca plugs on the back) and this is superb feature! You can ask Joe (the designer) to add internal res... | |
