| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @pryso Namiki Jewel in Japan is the manufacturer of MicroRidge diamonds related to Shure.

| Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof? @peter_s It's a nonsense to read about new Stanton and new Pioneer turntables on audiophiles forum. I have no idea why Rich posted about them, but i will tell you for sure that plastic Stanton is the worst turntable on the planet with awful tonear... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, i knew about AKG and my memory is very good. I think your answer addressed to Cleeds, not to me. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @cleeds That would be news to companies such as Shure Bros and Grado, who manufacture in the US, and other companies such as AKG, which manufactures in Austria. You can add ADC and Sonus, Ortofon etc..., but do you really understand who supplied... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel just proved what i said: if the Signet was made in Ohio, that’s the reason why those sub-brands (Precept and Signet) are not for sale in Japan, never been officially distributed in Japan, because the Audio-Technica made their own product ... | |
| Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof? If you are looking for something build like a tank and properly working (Direct Drive) my advice would be used Technics SP-20 (1976), if the budged is under $700, the rest is for tonearm etc. https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19149053_... | |
| Vintage Denon turntable I think it’s too much for non working turntable, for nearly the same price you could buy working DP-75 or DP-80 drives. | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Next week i will get my rack for Luxman PD-444 powder coated, it's my own design, super heavy, can't wait to try it. I have few more Technics SP-20 tutnables and looking at EMT metal rack here i wonder why not use similar custom made racks for my ... | |
| Best mc retip service If you want to invest up to 1500 quids in the broken cartridge you’d better buy another cartridge, maybe you will find something better. When my ZYX was broken and official service was extremely expensive i discovered the world of vintage MM cartr... | |
| A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection @tooblue you know that you can easily edit your post 15 min after it was published? @stereo5 Cartridge can't recognize the genge of music you're playing on, really good cartridge plays all king of music.

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Once i've come across the Tuchan’s blog with a picture of his "stand" for tt-101 i realized it reminds me something. It was beautiful OMA plinth for one for their turntables, but later i realized the orignator for that kind of "plinth" was Jean V... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas the problem with the 170/180 ML is that ceramic top plate in the cartridge body that unfortunatelly is way resonant. I don't think so. Let me quote Audio-Technica's description from the original manual for the AT-ML170 cartridge: ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas ... not only that it can't outperform the 20SS ( it's almost at the same level. ) Very interesting, do you know AT20SL (not SLa) ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Signet and Precept are just an export brands of the Audio-Technica, those cartridges are not for sale in Japan, but normally sells in the USA and Europe, but it does not make them better than Japanese Audio-Technica top models! The AT was an O... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I wonder if anyone ever tried to re-build the AT-ML180 or AT-ML170 cartridges. Apart from the working units i also have some broken units (no cantilevers). The last AT-ML180 was destroyed by a friend who decided to touch the cartridge at my studio... |
