Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dgarrettson, if you get a chance to pick up an Akai RS180 do so. It is a completely different cartridge. Gains in some areas, loses in others.

There is also an add running with the statement, I will not buy through Audiogon and leaving his Email address to buy offsite.I don't think they currently read the post, but may monitor links of some people. I saw links to other " competing "websi...

To add to what Nandric said, it also appears you can write Vinyl Engine and Ebay but do not link to them.

The reason I find it interesting about Professor Timeltel having been rejected for not " having in depth answers" is his answers are always interesting and insightful, while mine, which are drivel go right through. I think Nandric is correct, in t...

I will work some more with the Precept/AT20ss combo when I get home. It did snap in good, but blu tac is worth a try.The Professor in his post on 4-26 gives hope that the ANT-155lc will work well in the Precept. He mentions the Precept's output im...

Actually, the Precept 550ml sounds a lot like the Garrot p77 I regretably sold. Great midrange, highs slightly rolled off, causing slight loss in dynamics. In the room presence!

Agree with Dave on the Precept. Sounds good. Maybe we overpaid, and were misled, but regardless of profile and cantilever material, I will keep mine.I am still curious about what exactly we have though!

A talented writer and good storyteller who I have always enjoyed is Chris Wall.

Fleib, Solar panels.

With the Audio Technica 20ss stylus on the Precept body there is distortion in the midrange. Moving on for now. Win some you lose some.

Trimmed a AT20ss and it fits like a glove. Very minor shortening of the stylus assembly. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I should have said I am going to install a used AT155lc Stylus in a Precept 220 body. I cannot find my small screwdriver set or it would be done. The Akai is usually about $150 from a vendor on Ebay. Auctions are/were fairly regular in the past. F...

Griffithds, the 550ml sounds fine. I agree with Nandric that it is not as open as the Akai RS180, but if you can't return it, listen to it. It is darker sounding, but that is not always a bad thing. Some people will prefer the 550ml over the RS180...

Turntableneedles has a much different description of the Precept 550ml than LP Gear. Micro line is stated as better than .2x.7, which is usually how an elliptical is measured. No mention of beryllium.
