Micro Acoustics 2002e

Hello everyone. I have purchased a supposedly 'lightly used' MA 2002e. I was just curious to check out this cartridge because of the interesting sounding technology behind the design. Does anyone out there have any recent experience with this cartridge and/or a cartridge with similarly used technology? Thanks. This is Chris from California.

Hi. Chris again. FYI I found a supplier for MA2002e stylus new. I haven't contacted them yet but they list the stylus only for $348.77. Bluz Broz Entertainment.

Chris,

When the opportunity presents itself you may want to increase the tracking force to 1.2 grams and see/hear what you think. Enjoy!

Hi tubegb. Thanks for the tip. I am listening to James Newton Howard and Friends LP. I have been a fan of Jeff Porcaro's(RIP) drumming and the way he tuned his drum kit and his use of cymbals for years. This cartridge is a monster on percussive sounds. It makes me wonder why other manufacturers never pursued this technology. Is it the Wankel Engine of audio?
