Dec 07, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul, If you are correct, that the individual 312 thru 320 bodies are different, how do we know which cartridge we ACTUALLY own?

Dec 07, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul and Lewm, The Acutex 312LPM thru 320LPM share the same bodies and the stylus are interchangeable. There is no difference, to my ears, in useing a 312 body and a 320 stylus or a 320 body and a 320 stylus. I have switched back and forth m...

Dec 05, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Fleib, I think it is up to ones definition of bite and when they played .Other tenor players were already getting harder toned than Coltrane at the time of his death. Even Pharoah Sanders had a harder tone, so by modern standards his tone do...
Dec 04, 2011	Butler TDB-2250 amps in mono mode Hello Tpreaves, My common sense idea without understanding the electronics involved was that you would possibly have two tubes instead of one in each output. Just kindly ignore that idea if its stupid. Mostly just wanting to know if running these ...
Dec 04, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Halcro, I agree with everything you said regarding the Signet 7e/7ea. I had just been searching for another TK7lca stylus as I find it a little better/different than using the AT155lc. I got sidetracked and remembered I had never used the Si...
Dec 04, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Lewm, No, I was around 10 when he died. My family was not interested in live music and if they had been, I would be able to tell you more about Porter Wagner and Bob Wills than anyone else.Regarding Coltrane's sound I was going by the record...

Nov 25, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello All, I wrote a post last night but It did not go through so I guess I will try again.The Acutex terminology is very confusing as they used the same model number for different cartridges. The M312 that the Italian seller has for sell is not t...
Nov 25, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello All, The Acutex terminology is very confusing so I wanted to try to clear up my mistake before I mislead anyone.The Acutex M312 being sold on Italian Ebay is an LPM long nose model. It is not the M3xx short nose model which Raul has said is ...
Nov 24, 2011	Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Stltrains, Great ! I look forward to your observations. The Acutex 312 lpm and 412 are both boisterous cartridges, lacking in the subtleties of the 315/320, so I would expect the same from the M312. Do you plan to send yours to a rebuilder i...
