Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Henry, Thanks. I think I will pass on those elliptical Grace F8L / F9L. Pryso,Thanks for the recommendation. I'll try to find a copy of this sound track.Out of curiosity and regarding Chakster's comment about sharing interesting auctions listings:... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Chakster, I completely understand. Sorry, I should have realized that. I won't talk about yahoo auctions or anything that I'm bidding on or the prices I get in Japan.  I actually have the same problem with American and European stores/auction... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thank you Henry. Yes I’m an amateur/hobby musician. My main instrument now is oboe, but I played Alto sax for about 10years in middle school and high school, and later picked up harp, keyboard a little. Also did DJing and a little dance music prod... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
hi, does anyone have experience with the audio technica AT-E90? Like these pictures from hifidohttp://www.hifido.co.jp/KWART/G--/P0/A10/J/30-10/S1/M0/C14-83955-25876-00/I found this in Japanesehttp://20cheaddatebase.web.fc2.com/needie/NDAtechnica/...

I found this post over on the vinylengine forums by Manfred/lini. https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=90612 Re: Audio-technica AT120Eaby lini » 19 Oct 2016 18:48Alan: It belongs to a special line of AT120 family m... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
thank you everyone ( @nandric  @chakster  @rauliruegas  @timeltel  ) your cumulative knowledge is amazing.  In my 6months of watching yahoo auctions I don't think I've yet to see a Signet appear (re-imported back into Japan). I guess the best pla... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Halcro. how is the signet TK-7Lca different from the audio technica of the same generation?  Is the body the same as an AT120ea/AT150ea for example? There is not a lot of information about them over on vinylengine.  But I could determine that t... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
I just want to comment that before we get too convinced about this "boron shortage", the comment from jcarr I referenced above was explicitly that Namiki (probable primary supplier for Jico) has run out of their stock of tubular boron cantilevers.... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
dear nandric,I wasn’t doubting your comment about jonathan carr saying he does not like to use sapphire cantilevers. I was just more curious what he found out in his experiments/experience that helped him form that opinion.  
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
@rauliruegas @lewm sorry I should have been more clear. I understand that sapphire and ruby are the same material (outside of some trace elements of chromium to give the red color). Jico uses sapphire and ruby to differentiate between a tapered... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Dear Nandric, apologizes for not catching your meaning.At least my search probably explains why Jico had to switch from boron/SAS to sapphire/SAS. It might be the simple case that they get their cantilever/stylus from Namiki, Namiki has run out of... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
@nandric   I did a search of jcarr and sapphire and could not find the comments you are referring to. I just found his mentioning of Namiki running out of boron cantilevers so they could no longer supply their stylus mounted on boron to manufactur... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Hi HalcroThank you for this report. I was wondering about the Sapphire vs Ruby and how it compared to the original boron. Really glad to hear from your report that the neo-SAS is just as good as the original boron-SAS. I guess the ruby might give ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
@lewm, @chakster I understand and I am just comparing to what I have ownership experience with which is much less than others here (denon DL110, DL301ii, AT15Sa and a Grado black from my postgraduate study days). But I lived with various DL110 for... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
My Jico neo-sas (sapphire) cartridge for my victor Z1Eb arrived tonight. Only have about 4hours in now but I am loving it. It wasn’t as difficult to setup as my AT15Sa (but it did need some azimuth adjustment, luckily my MA505 can do that). SRA/VT...
