| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @lewm the question is about low output MM versus high output MCthis high output MC is 1.8mV and close to the low output MM cartridges. P.S. the high output MM is not the subject of my question (it can be as high as 9mV). | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oh, sorry Carlos, i just mixed up two differen posts from two different persons, my apologies. So my message about "blind test" was adressed @ivanj about 2M cart. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'd like to expand the title of this threat to "Who needs a low output MM cartridge type when we have hight output MC ?" Seriously, i'd like to learn more sbout this subject. I have couple of High Output MC cartridges which i like a lot, as much a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @ivanj unfortunately nobody really cares about high-end MM cartridges anymore, manufacturers focused on trendy MC design for audiophiles, dealers love it because margine is crazy. But the best MM cartridges are from the 70s and 80s. Those vintage ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @jls001 Where would the Astatic MF200 (or even MF100) stand vis-a-vis the X-1 II Shibata? At least the MFs show up once in a while NOS. You’re welcome. In my experience the Victor X1 (Shibata) and Victor X1II (Shibata) are much better cartridges... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What i can see under my macro lens:-This is X-1II (Shibata/Beryllium) -Here is X-1IIE (Elliptical/Titanium or Beryllium) The are both original, but way different from each other, the X-1IIE is hollow pipe and straight (conventional design), but th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @halcro right, i remember when i sold mine i was pretty sure it’s beryllium, but now i see a few sellers stated X-1IIE as titanium cantilever, i’m a bit confused. Maybe i missed something? Anyway, i think Elliptical X-1IIE is not extended to 60kHz... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove @Chakster Sorry what is your country? I'm in St.Petersburg to be exact | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove I found the turntable repairer that in the past had saved the link ..... I do not know how it works and what experiences it has, but if anyone in the future needs it can remember it.https://www.wilkinsons.tv/?page_id=1173 Thanks, e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just realized that Victor X-1IIE has titanium cantilever, not sure if the information is correct, but here you read more. I thought it's beryllium, but if the X-1IIE (Orange, Elliptical) has a titanium cantilever, the only Berylluim one is the X... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Feickert is great, worth the price (especially used), i use it with all my tonearms and i don't need any other protractors. I like the build quality. design and accurasy and if you can find any better it must be very expensive. The cheaper protr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @bimasta this is all bulshit, without original cantilever and original stylus this 205c MK4 cartridge is a waste of time and money. None of the existing replacement is equal to the original (the original has the lowest tip mass and hollow pipe Bor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas right, so we have one more misterious cartridge from JVC Victor and i'm intrigued, would be nice to see some pictures. Thanks Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas The JVC I speak is the one labeled X-1 at the top cartridge plate, the model is: JVC X-1 MK2 and is different on what you are attesting. The side labeled is different. I have dejavu nowHere is a pair of my X1 labeled Victor. And h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ok, i will add specs for comparation from an old German JVC catalog. In this catalog of cartridges even Victor X-1 labeled as JVC X-1. For this reason i think it’s just a different branding of the same products. There is no JVC X-1II in the cat, b... |
