Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Dear Dgob, thanks for your good intentions but I don'tbelieve that you have as much of spare time as I have tosearch. I am a retired civil servant with good pension...Dear Vetterone, I think that my Astatic MF 200 sounds better with the stylus fro... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Dear Dgob, This to me is like dating Michelle Pfeifer orNocole Kidman and suggesting to us to try the same. Now those 'girls' at least exist and are in theoretical or imaginary sense attainable. But I have never seen the Glanz 7 or 5 nor the Techn...

Dear Raul, I assume that you mean by 'common listening biasprocess' that we should all have, say, 4-5 of the same LP'ssuch that anyone can refer to some specific tracks in orderto substantiate what he hears ? This way we can argue aboutthe same mu...

Dear Frogman, Normal hearing capability presupposed we allhear in the same way. But we all interpret what we hear with our cultural, educational and personal developmet as a backgound. There is no such thing as 'objective' or 'neutral' hearing exp...

Dear Dgarretson, Axel is one man company working for one'big spender' from Mexico. We need to wait till the Mexicanreaches the bottom of his (oil?) source. I intend to postto Axel two carts on Monday but am very reluctant to ask any question about...

Are the styli from the Acutex series 400 ( 420, 415. etc.)exchangible with the 300'long nose' series (320,315,etc.)? 
Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ?
Hi Redglobe, I inspected the inside of the main unit to see if some L. connection was loose and noticed how thin the internal wires are. Anyway I intend to use (thicker) silver wire for the connectors. For the capacitors I thought about the Mica s...

Addendum. Dear Raul , the answer for your wondering about the Ortofon MC 2000 may be Per Windfeld? He is also the 'old master' like so many Japanese.

I understand the reluctance to buy whatever in China direct. But I had this peculiar experience. My left channelcaused some trouble so I assumed that the cause was theJasmine main unit (the power supply was ok). So I wrote tothe manufacturer and g...

Dear Raul, In some sense you got your gold mine in Germanywhile Axel got his in Mexico. No wonder you are both veryfond of each other. But you are not explicit enough aboutthe cantilevers/styli combo's which you ordered by Axel.I am familiar only ...

Dear Professor & Acman, My metaphor about the girls 'behind' has, I think, more 'supstance' than I originaly thought. Fleib already noticed that the most newMC carts have the same (thick) boron cantilever from whatever supplyer. This I called ...

Dear Professor, 'caveat emptor' is , alas, my conclusionconnected with those styli you mentioned. I have bought 3or so of those a year ago and they all are worthless forthe purpose :M 320. This is also not the answer to my question. So I need to r... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, I don't care what kind of 'meat', to use the butcher metaphor, is in the 'tail' of my styli. There is no way to deduce anything from the MM 'kinds'. The 'magnetic flux' by Astatic is as good for me as the moving- magnet or iron in the o...
