| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Being a disc-jokey myself for the past 17 years, i love vintage 45s as the best format of vinyl to carry and play in the clubs.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds, you're right. Never had a problem to play 45s with MC on different tonearms.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Meanwhile i remember someone mentioned rare Technics model EPC-102SP. It's hard to find any information about this SP model, but it was described as the cartridge to play SP records (with special stylus profile) without mentioning that SP is actua... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib "There's lots of misinformation and/or apples/oranges comparisons the last 10 posts. We're presented with specs that ignore the generator and price comparisons that span 20 or 40 years. When I was a little kid gasoline was $0.25/gallon. As M... | |

I alway thought re-tipping is for MC (due to their desing) or just for very rare expensive MMs l... | |
