Hello Qdrone, I remember watching Point Blank in Dallas area clubs. They were very powerful in the smaller venues. A great bar band. That power is hard to transfer to recordings for some reason. What recordings of Point Blank would you recommend t...

Does anyone remember if the Empire D40003 stylus is interchangeable with the D40002 stylus. If so, there is an interesting Jico shibata that might work.Danny

Hello Raul, I have been playing around with Vta and letting the Signet break in. The Signet TK3's HF opens up as it breaks in and likes a positive Vta due to its very strong bass. It is still the more euphoric of the two stylus but in my opinion n... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul, I have been trying to get more hours on the TK3 to make sure it is fully broken in. Only has about 15 hours on it. It has not changed much so far. Listening to a little Johnny Hartman. Wow!The only thing I have noticed is that when the mu...

Hi Raul, I have a lowly Project 9 tonearm with fixed head-shell so I will not be able to comment regarding o rings.First impressions are they do sound similar. The 20ss is the more analytical of the two. The notes start and fade faster. The Signet...

Hello Timeltel, Yes I did try both the AT140 and the 155lc on the MR 5.0 and predicatively the 155 sounded the best. All sounded good with a tendency to sizzle on certain recordings. I have since changed amplifiers and will revisit the MR and it's...

Hello Headsnapin, Do a search on Audiogon for Signet to find the specs. on the 5.0 basic. The bodies are the same on all the MR 5.0.Danny

Hello Headsnappin, As Timeltel has mentioned there are many choices for the Signet MR 5.0 cartridge. Check out Lp Gear for replacement styli. They have added different choices since I last looked.The main characteristic of the MR 5.0 is detail. It... 
Question about entry level tables..Debut/CJ Walker
Just for your information, the Astatic mf 100/200 are good cartridges. Have not heard the 300. Condition of the used equipment would be important. From Viridan's description it sounds like a good table to learn turntable setup on, to get the most ...

Any thoughts on the Astatic MF100 on the Gon? I have the MF200 or it would already be gone. Any replacement stylus.The Astatic MF200 is excellent if my memory is correct.Danny
