| Miyajima MADAKE experience Terry as you know Madake is top of the line and totally different:"Instead of using a metal to fashion the cartridge's cantilever (aluminum, boron, etc) or a crystalline solid such as sapphire, ruby or diamond, the Madake actually uses BAMBOO. Mad... | |
| cartridge cleaning? Not the stylus........ Apart from that don't forget to use healthy Frequency Sweep LP (Cardas) to refresh the sound of your MM/MI/MC cartridge and even the speakers. Very cheap and effective solution. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I guess so ... Otherwise i don't understand why people retipping old cartridges to the new standard when totally new cartridges available and claimed to be better. Ferefing to you own comment the old ATs are better than new ATs. Same we can see lo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Whilst the AT150ANV sounds similar tonally to both the AT155Lc and the Signet TK7LCa....it somehow misses the ability to convey the emotional impact of the music." -HalcroYep, looking at vintage AT155LC spects (1982) i found it superior to latest... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is very interesting fact: "The earlier Pyramid stylus - released in the late 1950's appears to be the first attempt at a Line contact stylus, however at that time there was no pressing need for it in the market, and the concept appears to hav... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It's a matter of taste then. To my ears original stylus of 205c MK4 has very pleased presentation, sweet, delailed (especially in the upper range). My sample also came from Alex Tan. However even used 100c MK3 goes much deeper in the bass with bet... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yep Griffithds If the SAS for 205c MK3 is an improvement I can't say the same about 205c MK4 which is a much better cartridge with stock technics stylus. It was not easy to find 205c MK4 in absolutely perfect condition (suspension/stylus). I have ... | |
| Technics 1210 Mk II Vicks, there are plenty of companies charging crazy money to modify Technics SL1200mk2. In my opinion it's not worth the investment for a top level mod with external power supply (this is the most expensive option). Check the price from Zu Audio f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, absolutely no broblem to track all bands on HiFi Analog Test LP with 2g tracking force. I must say the sounds really opened up on Reed 3p tonearm with much more air and details. Before i have tested it on several arms including EPA-100 and ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? thank you GriffithdsThat's what i heard before about TRX-2 and Astrion, seller also preffered TRX-2. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks HalcroI wonder how do they perform against fabulous Technics EPC-100cMK3 ?I forgot who shipped his Technics to Alex for suspenssion replacement / "refresh" etc, but i'm still not sure about my own EPC-100cMK3 which perform very well (but ma... | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Any happy owners of Miyajima (Kansui or Madake) on Reed 3p "12 could leave a comments? Accordind to updated spects on miyajima website: Compliance of both cartridges (10Hz) = 9×10-6cm/dyne. Miyajima-san said that Reed 3p arm would match the Kansui... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I'm in the middle of reading this thread, but couldn't find the opition about modern production of Garrott for example. While people talking about benefits of vintage MMs, we still have so called upgraded versions of the classic MMs like Garrott P... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Thanks Mosin, the one you have posted reminds me Monarch turntable (which is no other than SP10 motor). Unfortunately not for "12 arm. Anyway SP10 wihtout metal frame is much nices in any plinth and more flexible to tonearm mounting. Monarch looks... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth David, you are right.It's a shame that i can't just go and check my SP10 in different plinths.I'm in another world. This Teak Wood plinth from Thai is virtually unknown, no feedbacks/reviews online, but the guy also made Garrard and Thorens plinth... |
