| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK, M20E super stylus fitted to existing M20FL super body.Sounds a tad more natural right through the audio band than the FL one, so I agree with Raul on that.Is it a 2 point difference between the E and the ZE/X? I would not hear it this way in m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,some respondent i know in Malaysia prefers his Shure V15 III to the 1018, which in his system sounds too "bright" (brittle?).The Empire 1000ZE/X sounds very much more "refined" (less forward?) the the Shure V15 III. So all being equal (w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Limp Bizkit --- no kidding, eh. What's the recommended cart for that then I may inquire :-)Denon 103?Axel | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso,you are right the "theory" applies to everything we perceive and judge by our senses, includes women else there'd be no girly of the month in mags either.Keeps things from getting boring, hm. M20FL super is my pick of next week. Right now it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,here I have a "theory" about this weekly best cart happenings.If you ever read Robert M. Pirsig "Zen and the Art..." and "Lila" you will have come across his MOQ stuff (the books are all about it actually). He would say it is "Dynamic Qu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul: Axel's is clearly the small one (shorter & thinner), by comparison only the Shure V15 III with VN35MR has the same small diameter alu tube, tho' a bit longer +/- 1/3.The treble of this cart begs the theory that a longer cantilever p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK, gentlemen let's have some comic relieve -- and let me call MY new love for this week coming.I just replaced the 1000ZE/X with a Shure Type III VN35MR stylus (sounding better the SAS stylus in my rig).I had NOT tried (dared to, MC conditioned?)... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, in all fairness I think we are picking the pickings on the top of the MM/MI lot --- aren't we.Some of these slightly greater (or lesser) likings are ALSO dependant on one's listening "tastes", as the difference between M20FL and 1000ZE/X is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree with Raul on the 1000ZE/X VTA to be VERY high, in fact more so than for the M20FL super.I just comfirmed this, and it is my best sounding cart with this setting. This Empire sound pretty nice with lower VTA --- but REALLY comes into its ow... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, my cartridge says on the lable of the cartridge-body "Empire 1000ZE/X" on the outer paper packing (inner is a hardwood case) it says "S1000ZE/X-ERD"Could it be the "-ERD" addition is just the code for the stylus which is supplied in addition... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,having looked at your posted stylus replacement link I see "replaces also 1000Z/EX-ERD" --- any idea if the -ERD is a different cart / body / performance to the 1000Z/EX? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,you can do a simple test. Turn up the volume, arm is in the arm rest, until you can clearly hear the buzz from either one, or both channels). Now slightly loosen the mounting screws and lightly move the cart to and fro. If I'm correct yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,10/10 it is a mounting bolt nut that touches the cart body (screen), I mentioned this issue about the sensitivity of the MP-50. as it turns out the M20FL is the same susceptible. If this happens the cart screen is connected to the arm's ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Now after all this M20FL.... talk, and Raul's cursory mention that the Ortofon A90 is not going to change his opinion about the MM/MI's by comparison, I wonder if anything at all will transpire of Mike Levine’s intended testing of these MI's (M20F... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,just for the record, I mentioned that "very substantial" pivot up, when one of the folks here understood you it being only "slightly" up. As it turn out, I came to this conclusion via the same road as you did. It is so substantially up, that ... |
