| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, did you read the fleib and this post?, because as I always " shout ": for us audiophiles time all days are a learning time, always.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? With some of the vintage cartridges it is not easy to pull out the stylus even when you have to, for example with Victor X1, X1II it was the most difficult. The stylus fits extremely tight on Grago XTZ (and all related grado models). It is also fi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @lewm Do you mean to say that the JLTi has an inherent input capacitance equal to zero? Even if it's solid state, I doubt that that is the case, but perhaps if it uses a differential cascode input topology, the capacitance can be very very low... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @bimasta Stanton 881s is a bother of Pickering XSV3000 or vise versa, those two cartridges are identical. Not sure what is wrong with your sample, but there was an improved version of 881s called 881s mk2 which comes with Stereohedron II stylus ti... | |

JLTi avoid all capacitance other than the cabl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @zachteich In my big rig, I tend toward LOMCs, either the Denon DL-S1 or Audio Technica AT ART7. Either work beautifully on the VPI HRX/12' 3D arm I use in that system. The only MM cart I have used on that table is the Clearaudio Maestro Wood ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric i'm pretty sure that without this thread i would never try cheaper vintage MM cartridges and cheaper vintage tonearms, it took a year (everyday reading) of all the posts and much more to mess around finding mega rare vintage MMs, not all ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I wish Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to all the contributers in this thread.

| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @oregonpapa Chakster ... think I heard the ART-2000 in a high-end audio store back in time, but it seems as though it was longer than 15 years. ago. The dealer was bringing them in on the grey market. No warranties. I remember being totally impres... | |
| Recommendation for Tonearm Cable try Signal Cable Silver Resolution and don't be surprised the price is not high: http://signalcable.com/silverresolutionphono.html | |
| VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441 @bdunne I've never had pd441, but pd444 in stock condition with saec ss300 mat impressed me more than my SP10mk2. If the pd444 would have high torque as sp10mk2 i would sell my Technics. Luxman pd444 is amazing deck even in stock condition, pd441 ... | |
