| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm,That may well be however I know from personal experience with the Phantom II, that it is unable to extract reasonable performance from any of my MM cartridges and if you read the review by Montepilot on the Reed arm, he had poor sound wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A ‘killer’ MM cartridge for $130?In the 3 years since Raul began this thread (which incidentally converted me back to the ‘lost’ joys of the MMs I had once loved), most of the really fine recommended MM examples were from the golden era of analogu... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers If your system can not pressurize your listening space you are for sure missing something wonderful.But no buildings were harmed in the pressurising of this space :^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Once again I am in agreement with Lewm......... this is becoming worrying Lew :-)I also am 'full-up' with about 18 MM cartridges (and have even sold 3 or 4 back into the market) so it really doesn't worry me personally, if the prices now rise?Ther... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Welcome back Axelle.We have missed your valued contributions and your inimitable and incisive wit.I hope you are back to 'full strength' and that this is a 'new beginning' to your postings?CheersHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,We six of us don't doubt your intentions however Nandric and Lewm have a point...........your alerts can do nothing more than inflate the prices of MM cartridges which a lot of us have found on EBay by ourselves?Is that your intention?Do you ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And Henry, there are only so many question marks available in the Universe. You are using them up rapidly.LOLThere are many more question marks in the Antipodes Lew, than on your side of the world?.........and also.......full-stops :^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Eckart,What you said about the Audioquest Cheetahs interconnect cables is intriguing?These cables enabled you to hear 'into' the MM cartridges far better than the Mogami interconnects?What do you think it is that 'opens up' the MM sound throu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Please don't take it as an 'insult' when Timeltel says your system is 'tuned' to your preferences?This is surely what we all have done?............especially over 20, 30 or 40 years?The fact that you see your 'preferences' as being 'neut... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Arm/cart res freq is an overvalued aspect of the relationship. MOI (moment of inertia), bearing friction, damping are all of greater importance IMO. Arm design and energy transmission/dissipation, including relative mass of parts, is critical. I ... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Thanks Jonathan,I have a 450gm centre clamp on my belt-drive Raven AC-3 and a 640gm clamp on the DD Victor TT-81.Both clamps seem to improve the sound but at least never do harm.Based on your impressions I shall continue to use them :-)Do you know... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Interesting Jonathan,Have you also ever tried a peripheral rim weight?CheersHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I think that you and I are in agreement about the value of removing distortions throughout the analogue audio chain.As you imply......this is not as easy as it seems for often we unaware that in fact we have been happily listening to 'di... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Eckart,I'm so pleased you hear the Signet TK-7SU the same way many of us here, also do.I'm particularly pleased that this opinion of yours comes through hearing the cartridge via the most impressive collection of high-end components I think I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro: how compares against digital?Dear Raul,If your analogue sounds like digital........everything is clear to me :^) |
