| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric What kind of ’’Slavic brother’’ are you when youobviously have no idea that all Serbians family names end with’’ic’’? Oh, forgive me, but when it comes to vodka you should know correct brand name " Stolichnaya " if you prefer late 70’s fl... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Allaerts MC 2 - is that the one which cost like a used car ? Well, thanks for the offer, but i will stick to my working AT-ML180 OCC It was a genius combination to end up with 300 quid offer for AT-ML160, someone should buy it to compared to 170... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oh, that's what we call re-tip, but "refresh" in Raul's terminology means something different. I always thought it's something with suspension. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas actually when i managed to get perfect 205c mk4 in mint condition the suspension was not perfect, that’s what we call Lowriders. People can live with them, but i sold mine for that reason. The stylus is tall, so even when the cartridg... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @ateal I'm gonna send one of my Stanton CS-100 WOS to Expert Stylus in the future to get Paratrance diamond and new cantilever. Then i will be able to compare it to the original Stereohedron. For rare Stanton top of the line cartridge owner the Ex... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is the same seller who has a bunch of Glanz cartridges, some dead stock. He also offering repair service for Victor X1 suspension. Make sure to check it's the original. I've been watching this technics stylus for about 2-3 years from this sel... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice I am precise as much as your best MC cartridge, lol Even AT-ML150 cantilever is Gold Plated too, but it’s not Boron, it’s Gold Plated Beryllium. Here is a picture of my ex AT-ML150. So i just don’t know anything about your 160 model (can be beryll... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Never seen AT-ML160, it can be closer to AT-ML150 which has a beryllium cantilever, the 150 is also very good cartridge, but not as good as the 170.AT-ML180 is completely different compard to all of them. The problem with the 160 models is that yo... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Yeah, closer to the original, unfortunately hollow pipe boron is not available anymore in the world (which makes the original cartridge so special). I would use boron with microline/microridge type of diamonds. They call it paratrace. See below wh... | |
| Has anyone heard the Miyajima 'Snakewood' cartridge, After your post i saw a few other models in snakewood body. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @downunder it was available for at least 2 years from this seller on various sources in the internet. The price is high. The more important is the condition of the damper, most likely it must be dead (low rider), do you have it? | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice The original is gold plated hollow pipe boron with tiny nude microline stylus, i have a few samples of perfectly working at-ml180 and at-ml170. I also have a few broken samples of both, one of them is here. I think the best option is Expert Stylus... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @daveyf Chakster, if you enjoy an old cartridge that is more than likely destroying your vinyl, so be it. Cartridges are a wear item, plain and simple. Like Clearthinks stated, just one play can easily damage the groove if the cartridge is badly ... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? New cartridge is not a new car, you tell me what is the advantages of the new cartridge in terms of material used (compared to those carts made in the 80s)? Do you hear the difference between brand new $4000 MC cartridges and $16000 MC cartridges?... | |
| How to choose a cartridge you can't hear on your system? @clearthink cost has nothing to do with performance, if you think $1000 is modest price then you are ignoring the world of vintage cartridges, they are all under $1000, sometimes 50%, but they are easily killing those $3000 MC carts and we have de... |
