| 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Halcro,I also due to the "favorite cartridge " thread picked up a Signet Tk7su cartridge. I have enjoyed it very much so far. Also got a Thakker stylus but have not played it yet. I will need to do that soon since you had a problem with your... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 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 | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 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 ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 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 | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I thought the highs on the Azden were etched on some lps when I first tried it but it seemed to settle down after 10-20 hours. The next time I tried it the suspension became weak and I have put it away for now. It sounded real good while it ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The point of Raul's treatise was to take another look at the best MM/MI and see how they stood up to MC, not to determine if they were better or worse. To get back to the natural flow of the music instead of dissection of it. Some MC are highly th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Just an honest question, no sarcastic or frustration intended. Is the Technics 100c better than the Acutex 320/315 and Empire 400D3?Had the chance to get the Technics 100c as mentioned but already have Acutex and Empire. After looking for a while ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello All, Just installed the 155lc on the Signet 3ea body socan't make any recommendations at this point. Sound stage does seem bigger.I would like to hear the ATML 170 and 180 to compare since Raul thinks so highly of them.Timeltel, Both the 3ea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Timeltel, Took off the Signet3a/AT 140lc to listen to the Signet MR 5.0me. I listened all week to this cartridge and I have to say it leans more towards the detail category but is still musical. At first I thought it had a little to much edg... |
