Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Harold, Sorry to have driven your cost up. You DOG! :)Enjoy! 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
I personally would make it 15k-20k. A lot of class d amps run at 20k and would be fine.

One of the reasons Timeltel was given for being censored was that he referenced another competing website ( V E Database). How strange. If you never hear from me you will know what happened. :)

Two not mentioned yet, would be Bill Holman and Bob Florence. I always found them interesting. I have a newer recording of a big band Bob Florence wrote and played piano in before his death. The Phil Norman Tenant .May seem like a strange question...

I would go with "Sonny", the masses would say "Kenny".I rest my case.

I forgot to say thanks to Frogman for his awesome answer to my John Purcell question. Hopefully Mr. Purcell will get the help he needs.

For the sake of Orpheus's thread, let's just say, I am struggling with the football/music analogy, however I do agree Bill Parcells was a great coach.If the masses don't get it, it's bad? We will have to agree to disagree on some things, or we wil...

Rok, I am hesitant to say, you will love. It is not a safe choice, but it has been one of my favorites, and is a classic. After starting to listen to jazz from strictly rock, by way of Metheny, I picked up an ECM sampler and "forced" myself to und...

The rule of thumb is 10x the preamp impedance, but others say 20 x the Preamp impedance, so either way, your under 33kohms.Let us know how it turns out for you and good luck!

I am going to move to modern jazz, only 30 years ago. Jack Dejohnette's "Album Album" from 1984. Great from start to finish. I was even dancing around Rok. Not a pretty sight.Frankly, I had not listened to this lost gem since I upgraded my system ...

Raul, the stylus was abused. It was off center and had gunk on it which Timeltel scraped off. I only listened for a short one or two hours. I should not have even commented on the cartridge. It was just passing through. 
can a new amp amp tame my speakers?
I think your idea of a good amp to mate with your speakers is a good plan. Then fine tune with IC's as Hevac1 says. Then move to better speaker if needed.If you buy used you can keep $ losses to a minimum if you don't like the results. Cables can ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, when I heard the Pioneer PC330 I could tell it had a lot of promise, but the low freq. had a lot of slop. Timeltel cleaned it up, and Halcro helped secure a replacement. The highs and mids were excellent as I remember. I had been looking for... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I am also in theory, agree with Nandric and Dover, but if the cartridge was made for beryllium, ruby (MAY?) be the next best available material. I have heard the Precept 220xe which is an aluminum cantilever with epiliptical stylus, but did not fi...
