| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I have been listening to the Signet MR 5.0 and it is better than I remembered. I had listened only briefly to it on main system. Had been used on old cheap Rotel turntable in old system. Sound is a little more HiFi than the Empires and O... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewn,Good for you. I received a reply from the vendor and he will be selling the remaining stock in the next few weeks at an unknown increased price.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I believe the NOS Empires 4000D3 were around $300-$350. There were only 6 left about a month ago so he may be out by now but he was selling them slowly. It was a private seller on eBay who bought them when Empire closed and left them in stor... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Franklin, I liked the M20FL a lot and then tried the azden. I personally liked the azden better except for etching in highs on certain records. I got frustrated about this and went back to the M20FL for a while[ may have needed more break in]until... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? Gte,if you can up your budget to $600 there is a Quicksilver preamp available. Had one in my system and enjoyed. Also good reputation.Danny | |
| what cartridge? The best thing that ever happened to my mmf-7 was when the stylus fell off the Goldring. I have used the Soundsmith smm2 ($500-600) and the ortofon m20fl super($180).Both are very good with the m20fl being my favorite.Danny | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Thank you for the recommendation of the m20fl.May be the best sound I've have had on my system. Need to get my soundsmith repaired and do a comparison but I really enjoy this cartridge.Very musical. Makes me wonder about the Garrot although ... | |

Interesting thread guys.I have been using a Soundsmith SMMC2 with a Music Hall 7 with good results but the cantilever started having play from side to side and will have to be returned for repair.I installed an old signet mr5.0le and it sounds pre... | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back I can't believe I'm weighting in again on this point but some people are trying to make things which are subjective into absolute truth.I tried to point this out with humor/sarcasm but it seems not to have had any effect on the tone of discussion.... | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back Just ordered the King Cobra cx For my Ps1. Thanks Tpreaves for the idea.Got to go Harry Potters starting and you know how I love my Magic.Danny | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back Pani,It seems both sides of debate like Signal Cables.The Shunyata cords have moved the sound stage back for me. But what do I know.I am obviously delusional and being strongly influenced by the placebo effect. Danny |
