Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Happy Birthday Raul :D 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Agree with you Lewm. Apart from that, I've heard top MMs do all that top MCs do, with more ease, authority, weight and continuity. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewm,Isn't practice a better word, habit and has elements of involuntary/subconcious? As we all know, demand raises the price of everything, even old MMs. You may have missed the point that many follow this thread but rarely or never comment so th...

Thanks for your alert Raul, much appreciated as always.As for the 1080LT, my opinion mirrors yours exactly, albeit your former one. I find it dull, boring and non engaging. The highs lack energy and is terribly unexciting. Frequency response seems... 
Is anyone familiar Holfi?
Hello Chris10an!I have used Holfi pre and power amms for 15 years now and I know Peter. The local distributor in Malaysia gets new products from Denmark to this day and 2 years ago their multiformat DVD/CD/SACD player was awarded by Stereo Times m... 
My findings on Magico V2.....what now?
Hi Jtein,I'm Eisubius from Malaysia, Kedah, Kulim.Was seaching the internet for info on Soulution and Magico cos a friend already purchased the Soulution, pre, power and he seems to love it, and now is considering buying the Magico M5. I have hear... 
Stand out phono stages
My vote goes to HOLFI! Holfi Battriaa, phono stage of which there are 3 versions I believe and the top model being the Super Battriaa. It is a battery powered phono stage. Single ended circuitry and output, no global feedback whatsoever. Solid sta... 
Holfi Battriaa better than Levinson No 25 S ??
Hi Blackblade,I'm in Malaysia. We are one of their earliest markets in Asia. I had a few opportunities to own a Xandra but I simply find the sound unnatural, like pieces put together but dis-jointed. Some of the cheaper models sound nicer, but I u... 
Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading
Hi all,Mass loading is a very good thing and I love to use a particular grade of sand. I sew them into tiny black pillows about 1.5 x 2 inches in size. I place this on different parts of the electronics, inside the cd player, amplifiers and preamp...

Hi Lewm,You like it better than your tricked out Lenco? That Kenwood is a direct drive right? Interesting.In what ways is the Kenwood better than the Lenco, very curious to know. I have 3 SL1200mk2 and 3 heavy platter Lencos, when compared to the ... 
Holfi Battriaa better than Levinson No 25 S ??
Hi Blackblade :)The Pre NB1 is a dream, someday. I use the pre nb2/ power nb2 now with built in phono stage. Peter and I are friends, so I get lots of explanation from him, he's a simple nice fellow but very smart :) Holfi turntable, Matilda is ve... 
Holfi Battriaa better than Levinson No 25 S ??
Hahahahahahaha.... typical, when the word Holfi is mentioned, everything goes quiet. I have been happily using Holfi Amps for 15 years now, nothing else comes close. Very beautifully honest equipment.Cheers,Eisubius 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi everyone!I have read every single post on this subject, very interesting stuff.I too have purchased an Empire 1080LT cartridge. I have a question, it says on the specs/info provided by the seller that its output is 3mV. Is that correct, isn't t...

Audio Technica AT-91, at about 20+ to 30 bucks, its almost free. Anyone listened to it before? 
I'm taking a poll...
