| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, the 15/20 stylus have to be shortened to fit. The 155lc and 152 snap in square instead of round.The Akai RS180 does not sound right to me, but I will play with it a little more. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I just modified a Akai RS180 to fit the Precept. The RS180 is the same as the Atn14, which has a Shibata tip. Closest I can get to a 440 stylus without modifying an Ant 20ss or 152 stylus, which I am not going to do. I will let you know what... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I will continue to listen and break in the Precept. We can discuss once you get your 550ml stylus and you hear it. I agree, it is surprising.To my ears the 220 and 550 have the same general sound, but would never be confused with each other.... | |
| Just got a platter upgrade What is the best way to reach Gunther? He has not responded to emails. I guess I will call him. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Dgarretson's wife said, "big and buttery", after only a few hours.My mistake. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? After rereading what I had written, I realized it sounds sort of negative. The bass on the Precept 550 is as deep as I have heard on my system, and very tight. Although it leans to the warm side, it still has great detail retrieval.The highs, whil... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I would enjoy a comparison between the Precept 440 and 550, when you get your 550 stylus.The Precept 550 on the 220 body is very smooth in the high registers. With a little work with VTA, I was able to get rid of most the " carmel " sound Dg... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Just thought of one more. " Bloodcount", written by Billy Strayhorn while sick with cancer. Both haunting and haunted. | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? "My one and only love" | |
| hair brained idea and a hello Swampwalker, I think the 640p is a phono amp.I do wonder if the Yamaha internal amp can be used for external speakers. | |
| hair brained idea and a hello Jabbles180, The Yamaha sound bar is not going to give good sound, and needs to be replaced at some point. It is probably the reason your vinyl is bright. You can do as you plan or save money for a integrated amp/receiver or preamp/amp and speakers... | |
| What country still has music? A lot of good jazz out there. A lot of great musicians who are not popular because they don't sound like the "Giants" we grew up with. The music scene will be very good once the large group of boomers, which I am part of, are gone, and they stop d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul seems to be driving the market. We just need some good old insider information to buy ahead of his announcements. Maybe an investment newsletter for $10 a month.Btw, As good as the Precept is ; Raul keep it up as long as its fun or till I am ... | |
| Johnny Winter Bootleg Series? Polk, I will let you know what I think.Casey33,I am hopeful that I will enjoy these more than you. Thanks for letting us know your opinion. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I get great sound from the Mat II, and only can tell the very slight masking of highs, when I go back to the bare platter. As you know, this is so system dependent. Next week I might decide it is to bright and go to the Mat II full-time agai... |
