Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
@pryso I’ve intended to change the circuit loading resistors from 47K to at least 100K but have not done so yet. I have utilized the second pair of input RCAs to lower R for MC cartridges with good success. This is David’s webpage and you will ...

@nandric However the fact that you sold all your 205mk4 and 100mk3 is suspect because those belong to the best MM carts ever made. If you are sporty you should mention the real reason why you sold them.Just to earn money for some other top MM cart...

@sbank for those who don't know: KAB site is down for a few years, it's impossible to open the site. I got those fluid dampers on my pair of upgraded 1210, but it only helps with high compliance cartridges. My SP10mk2 in a custom plinth gives me m...

I would never chande high torque Direct Drive turntable for a Belt Drive toy. But Technics 1200 with $100 stock arm deserve a better tonearm for MC cartridges.

@fleib thanks for pointing me to JLTi phono stage (the price is right), i have checked what David @dlaloum reported about it on another forum, i will put his quote up here (very interesting):  My criteria were1) Infinite loading variability rangin...

@audioman2015 technics stock tonearm and Denon 103R cartridge is a total missmatch. This tonearm was designed for MM cartridges of mid/high compliance and the effective mass of this arm is too low for a fairly low compliance DL103R cartridge. You ...

@lewm this loading quest getting even more interesting with your latest comment. I've been looking for phono stage with high gain and sockets for different load resistors to make it easier for both MM & MC. I think McCormack Micro Phono (under...

@montesquieu thanks for your story, i believe it was your post on theartofsound. Have you ever tried FR-7fz? And what was your source to buy hashinoto sut?  
Interconnect cables for turntable
@fundsgon i’ve been using Chris Sommovigo’s interconnects and speaker cables for years, first it was Stereovox Colibry (with his own Xhadow RCA) and later Stereolab Master Reference Phono (with his own LoveCraft RCA) which is the best interconnect... 
Cartridge recommendations
@sunnyjim i’m not trying to insulting you or anyboby else on this forum (never), but if you leave a comment or advice something, trying to be helpful, please refer to your own experience with certain cartridges, not to the reviwers experience (who... 
Cartridge recommendations
It's pretty funny when people suggest something they have probably never owned based on review online @sunnyjim DL-103 has conical tip, people love it or hate it, to my ears conical tip is the worst ever and it will be the worst choice for people ... 
Tonearm for Luxman PD 441
That's why i bought Dr. Feickert protractor. If your arm does not come with original template you need to measure spinde to pivot distance correctly. Your Denon tonearm fits Luxman tonearm base (model TP-SG) with single small mounting hole. Tonear... 
Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ?
@fleib Feickert’s step-1 of the Stevenson’s point for overhang is exactly the beggining of the groove on 7’inch vinyl. That’s what i meant. The null points are on the left and right, and only inner null (by Stevenson), which is step-3 by Feickert,...
