Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Halcro, the main cost for the Shure is the stylus, so if you find a body and the Jico SAS, you could get in cheap. Also, some may have an old body, and thanks to your recommendation, just need the money for the Stylus. Great deal!I started on t...

Dialoum, I am glad to see you will soon have the Victor body to go with your stylus. Patience is a virtue. Good for you!

Dave Holland has been putting out great music for a long time. These same musicians, except Nate Smith subbing for Billy Kilson on drums , put out a real good record in 1999.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2qIZ-BwiE4 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
If you leave them on the phono it may take years not months. Get them on a tuner or DVD/cd player ( 2 volts ) and run it 24/7. I know you don't want to move the cable, but you are correct, it would be torture.

Siddh, if you look at Jack Robert's review on Daago of the Ultimates he answers your question directly, and his observations seem right in line with what you are saying. Good luck! 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Siddh, your question was not adressed to me ,but others have made the same complaint. I think the High Fidelity cables are neutral, and clean up the soundstage in a natural way, but other may see this as less body, and less mid bass. I think it is...

I finally got around to listening to my newest mm/mi. The Audio Note IQ3. The IQ3 is a very balanced cartridge. It has good detail without the rising high end. It is based on a Goldring cartridge, modified to Audio Notes spec. It has a Gyger 1 sty...

I like Melbguy1's idea of a very good integrated, where you can bypass the integrated pre when watching movies, and switch back to the integrated pre for 2 channel. Best of both worlds.
