| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Perfect 'score' once again Frogman....👍I agree 100% with all that you say (and hear)......Of course.....there are some who would shrug their shoulders UNLESS the lowly 4MD-20X actually BETTERED the $10,000 Palladian...🤯Life is not quite like that.... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 In line with the preceding statement......I promised earlier, to post a comparison between my most expensive LOMC Cartridge and my cheapest MM.The Acoustical Systems Palladian LOMC Cartridge is beautifully designed and made and costs $10,000.This ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thank you Invictus and Harold for your kind words 😎You're right Harold......WRITING about the 'sound' of different cartridges is such a subjective exercise and ultimately proves nothing to anyone......I wanted to 'objectify' this process (if possi... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Many audiophiles have been using the Denon DL-103R LOMC cartridge (and variations of it) for decades and some serious High-End users still have a 'soft-spot' for it in their Systems.For $300-$400 it would seem like a bargain to sample the MC sound... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Isn’t it amazing......My ‘aural’memory is so bad that only when I flip back and forwards between both videos is what you say, so obvious.....🙉It’s really night and day.....My only concern is with your ‘brightness’ comment on the MIT1......In my ro... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Over the years, I’ve read many Reviewers and Audiophiles describing the ’speed’ and ’attack’ of MC Cartridges as a distinction to MMs.I have to admit that I don’t hear this......not that I’m denying others can 🤔Perhaps you can hear something in th... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Having waited over two years to find my first Victor X1 cartridge with its ORIGINAL stylus.....I couldn't believe it when a Victor X-1II came up for auction on Japan Yahoo complete with its original stylus and Victor headshell.As there was only on... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Because the vintage FR-7f was heard previously on Ketty Lester's 'Love Letters'.....I thought we needed to hear it further 🤗And against my 'Mainstay' MM reference.....FIDELITY RESEARCH FR-7f LOMC CartridgeMounted in Vintage FR-66S ToneArm on TW Ac... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Mea Culpa Frogman.....I shouldn't have editorialised so much in the prologue...🥺And you're right about the similarities of both cartridges.....that's why I paired them.You're also astute in picking the slight 'edge' that the Empire has over the FR... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 And now for something completely different......🎸The Empire 4000D/III Gold was one of the first vintage MM cartridges I acquired after reading about it in Raul's MM Thread here on A'Gon.It was cheap (even though NOS) and it opened my eyes (and ear... | |
