Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hello Dgarretson, A while back you mentioned building a Trans-fi arm that accepts different cartridge headshells. Were you able to accomplish the task? It seems with a fixed head we are missing out on some good audiophile neurosis and I wouldn't w...

I am sorry to hear of the increase in cost for Axel's services. I was planning on testing my thoughts on different cantilever/ stylus configurations on a Acutex 312. I have recently acquired 3 to send out. The 312 has a good stylus, so the problem...

Glad to see the boys from Husker Du getting some recognition for their good work. Always thought "Warehoues" was an overlooked gem.Btw, do you find yourself humming along with "Land speed record", or is it just me?;)

Hello Nandric, I have several cartridges lined up to go to Axel, but inertia, as Lewm says, seems to keep them at my home.I DO seem to be able to buy cartridges and stylus and listen to them, so I was interested in opinions on the Soundsmith.

I was thinking about trying the Soundsmith Grace Fe stylus assembly on my Grace cartridge. Has anyone else heard anything about it good or bad? Any thoughts on the best choice of options? 
Why does Computers - Amp - Speakers sound better?
Took a quick look at the owner reviews on Amazon and noticed, as I suspected, that most are bypassing the built in Preamp and using a external phono amp of better quality. While I don't believe you have to spend $$$$$ to get good sound, it is aski...

Hello Tubed1, Haven't you read the entire thread ;0). Raul likes the M320 better than the 320LPM. The Acutex 320/315 is a great cartridge, as are many others. Once you get to the top level it becomes more of " different" than better,IMHO, although...

If you need a laugh... I was enjoying the Beach House,but could not understand the GUY singer. After about 5 sides I noticed it was a 45 rpm record. Even better now!

Hello Raul, Nikola, Seems like a good idea to discuss cartridges with a common recording, although I don't think our problem has ever been we couldn't understand what the other was hearing. We just are listening differently to different things. A ...

Hello Chris, not an expert, but 33audio has an Acutex 3xx chart showing the actual size of each cartridge of the 3xx chart. This chart probably means nothing compared to the 4xx, but its all we have, and from there we only have speculation. The Ac...
