| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, yes the Acutex 312 is a good rocker cartridge. It is not as refined, as you mentioned, as some of the better cartridges, including it's siblings the 315 and 320. It is the best $60 cartridge I have heard. Google acu tex bar for some info... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pnmyer, I listened to some Roy Hargrove recordings a few years back. He had a bright future , but had IMHO not matured as a musician at that time. I will certainly check him out. I will also check out Eric Alexander as I have, not to my knowledge,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As with most, not so well thought out rants, the point gets lost on the side issues. Rok, the usage of Lee Morgan's " Live at the Lighthouse" was only used as an example of how he and his music had changed, not a recommendation for the music. Also... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, to avoid confusion, is your cartridge a long nose 312 lpm, or the short nose m312? | |
| Jazz for aficionados People have been saying Jazz was dead since that delinquent Benny Goodman came along. Then it was really dead when Bird and those crazy boppers started going nuts. Then Coltrane planted jazz six feet under?Jazz is dead in the water? It just mutate... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Mike, Actually it is a TKN 2, but it looks like a TKN 22 would work. Both are elliptical, but TKN 2 stylus looks better on paper. I have not heard the 22. You can compare the two directly at ttneedles. The Atn 22 will not work.I was just wondering... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? Time to start looking for that Preamp and cabling? ;) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I had not considered the AT-150anv against the TK7lca and the TK7su. I actually hope you are wrong in them sounding alike. :). I will listen to the 2 TK7's and both the TK10 and AT 150anv and see if I agree with you.Raul, I will have to co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains, What is your opinion on the Signet Tk7e? Although not Raul approved it sounds good with the tk3 shibata stylus from Thakker, and I really like it with the Akai Rs180 at a lower cost. The ultimate upgrade is the At 20ss so lots of option... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well said! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, Thanks for mentioning Warren Vache. I have been wanting to pick some of his music for a while. What is your opinion regarding his music with John Allred? I have heard good things about both men. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Talk about a blast from the past. The Ortofon M20fl has been on my turntable for about a week. This is a really good cartridge, and has easily found stylus. Whatever I have played has sounded good. Not in the top categories, but has some nice qual... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, I think it was more a "retro" move. The old is cool again for a short period.To be honest I can't afford to move into the brave new future with Raul and remain married. I still love the hunt, but will have to hunt less. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have and LOVE the Acutex 320lpm, but others had commented that the M320 was better, so I was hoping to find out, but and old foosball injury caused my click finger to slip. Yeah, thats the ticket. :)I am very happy it went to a good home. Let us... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? FWIW, I had a Krell 400xi with Martin Logans and Joseph Audio 25xl and enjoyed it. Not bright like the Krell reputation. Only sold it to go to separates. YMMV unfortunately!!!You can study and read til the cow's come home, it's good to do your hom... |
