Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good?
Musichead,Any of the ideas above are good for replacement stylus. There are 155lc stylus available. The 140lc is a good stylus at under $100, and I like Johnnyb's idea on the 150 stylus. I was off work today and broke in the new AT155lc stylus, it... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dgob, I guess we would need a platter without silencer's in our system to actually know the effect of the silencers. I do remember a Acoustic Sig. video where Gunther had someone rap the aluminum platter to show it ring, and then rap a Storm, I th...

Hello Timeltel, any ideas why TTneedles would take the 155lc out of the original box, and install it in a tin?Also, as described above, the 155lc shows to come out of the Astatic line at the top of the TTneedles page. i don't believe they were mon...

Turntableneedles even shows the 208-dex under, Astatic instead of Audio Technica, but other than that they make no mention of this being Astatic.I owe Indianrider an apology. I should have done my homework before posting.

I may have some crow to eat. The Turntableneedles 155lc does not come in an Audio Technica box like another 155lc purchased elsewhere, and it has a dot on the shaft which is not on the 155lc I just took out of a box.

I have purchased a couple of 155lc stylus from Turntableneedles, before they ran out, and they were always the correct stylus with beryllium shaft. They have since running out, shown that they had none, and point to their 208 stock which does incl... 
Johnny Winter Bootleg Series?
Since no one seems to have heard this series, I have ordered the 1st record. I would think they would put out the best first, to get sales on the latter releases. Looking forward to receiving this!

Raul, The silencers are flat with the platter, so the vinyl is not in contact with any rubber. The theory, at least as I understand, is more in absorption and dissimilar metals not allowing resonance. It kind of sets off my BS meter, but the table...

Raul, the Precept 220 showed up today. The cartridge has a lot of promise, even with the 220xe stylus. Took a little while for the bass to show up. Only about 3 hours on it. Can get a little bright so far.Regarding TT mats. I use the Acoustic Sig....

Harold, I got the idea from Dgarretson. He is light years ahead of me in knowledge regarding, well anything related to turntables and arms, and probably many other things not discussed.I will try some different materials and see what happens.

Since some of us are using tonearms with fixed headshells, and most of you are using different headshells to tame resonance, would using a spacer of equal thickness, as a headshell, made of headshell materials, ie ebony,titanium, give the same res...

Thanks Nandric, that should do it. Something subtle was what I had in mind. We don't want to oversell.BTW, Where can I get a F8 from a parallel universe? What kind of stylus does it have, and how does it sound compared to the F8 from this universe? 
Grace F-9 broken stylus
You can probably get around $50- $100 maybe more, for your F9 as is. As Tommyboy65 said, it is a very good cartridge. It may be one of the reasons you like records, so get the Shure and see if you want to have the F9 repaired latter. As you are fi... 
Joseph Audio RM7XL
Mynameisnoname, When I purchased the RM25xl in Feb. of 2007, the dealer said Josephs had just changed cabinet makers due to poor quality. Mine look and sound great.

Nandric, If you will sing praises of the Grace F8 I am thinking of parting ways with, we will call it even. ;)
