Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Yes, Acman3Glanz 31L (line contact) equal to Astatic MF200 (shibata) according to Nandric experience. The MF200 raved by Raul before he discovered mega rare MF2500 (older and better model). The Glanz top and very rare models: MF61 and MF71LIf the ...

Johnny, SP10 cost under $1000 (used) and compete with $10 000 turntables, Teak Wood plinth for it cost $700 new, the rest is tonearm and cartridge. Upgrading SL1200 is waste of money, i have done so with my two SL1200 ( rewired tonearm with cardas...

How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2?
If you like Technics buy SP10 MK2 which is amazing turntable compared to cheap and dark sounding SL1210. I own both, even totally rewired 1210 with fluid damper and stock arm is far away from SP10 with tonearm of your choise. With 1210 you need to...

I think VdH is the most expensive option and impossible to contact directly. SoundSmith service can take too much time. Still waiting for Axel's reply, almost one week with no luck. Some other options:Dominic @ http://www.northwestanalogue.com/car...
