| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas thank you! I’ve heard about Dominic before, emailed him about his prices, we will see if he could help with 205c mk4. VdH is not available in my area, no one of his distributors never replied me on my retipping service emails/questions. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ok, fellasNandrik, Raul and Pryso and othersTo make it clear for everyone i took a picture of TENSION WIRE on the back of the original stylus for Technics 205c MK4, here we go ... click hereI have also checked stylus for my 100c mk3 under Macro Le... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric I got this result (rouphly by eye) with 1.25g tracking force on my Technics 102c mk4. And i was WRONG (judging by eye). Now i can measure it again correctly.Before i put the needle on the record and apply any tracking force, distance betw... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Our chakster suceed to get all things wrong. Even thepictures of the beautiful Technics are ’’the other way round’’.@nandric do you really think i have no idea what is tension wire and where it is? It’s been discussed before regarding Victor x1 et... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is a picture of two different animals EPC 100c mk3 and EPC 205 mk4 from my arsenal. Axel recantilevered 100c mk3 with nagaoka boron cantilever, but the 205c mk4 is 100% original in perfect condition and works fine.Just need a strong advice wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Actually i would like to read Raul explanation how those "lowriders" become "easy riders" after magic VdH suspension treatment or suspension repair (mentioned many times in the beginning of this theead @rauliruegas ). Each Technics EPC 100 or EPC ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric I’ve sold all my technics cartridges long time ago. It was in the beginning of my vintage MM journey (thanks Raul). Some of my friend still use them and those fixed by Axel are great (205 mk4, 100 mk3). I could not resist and bought anoth... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric really? I want to know more about it. My new 205c mk4 sounds really good, better than Victor X1-IIE with tension wire (which is also great). But 205 mk4 is a low rider. Maybe 2mm or less from vinyl surface.In the past axel’s recantilevere... | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith This is not a exception. It took a year of waiting with no response for my friend with his Sony XL55 shipped to SoundSmith. Same situation. They are very slow and cartridge can be easily lost for some time and then re-discovered (somewhere on thei... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes, I made a mistake to retip several of my cartridges through Axel and now in the top ones I’m retipping again with top ones replacements. @rauliruegas do you regret it? It’s interesting, few years ago many agon members were happy about Axel’s ... | |
| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation @fleib The SAS was a great replacement for many carts. Where else can you get a boron/MR for peanuts? It’s the cantilever, not the tip which excites the generator. What kind of cantilever does the Technics have? Good luck finding original Technics... | |
| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation @rauliruegas The other recomendation on Victor is a waist of time because SAS stylus replacement are no longer in production from 3 monthDo you like SAS or prefer the original stylus of Victor X1II or XIIE ? I think the best is to find NOS Victor.... | |
| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation If you like Fidelity Research MC you should try FR-5E MM design from the master Ikeda San. This model also recommended by Jonathan Carr (designer of Lyra cartridges) in MM THREAD (i know it’s hard to read all 241 pages full of information about th... | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Hmm, that's interesting, never heard about errors on Hi-Fi Test Record before. How can we measure resonanse freq. in real life with other record? Any other records (proper one) available to make sure the Hi-Fi Test record is not a good tool for it... | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? @rauliruegas do you use online resonance calculator or you’re talking from personal experience? I was quite sceptical about optimal performance of Stanton 980 LZS on my 18g Reed 3P Cocobolo "12 untill i received my cartridge and mounted it. From m... |
