| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob response and more on M20FL:I agree with a breakin for catridges because of their semi-mechanical nature but if a cartridge isn't even in the ball park of what I like to hear after trying this and that, the only other break in I'm willing to o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A new thought to the discussion?Does anyone else with multiple trial and error generated setups with that final tweaking for the best sound find that they all sound pretty much the same but one still does something a little better or a little wors... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob: I have a DL103 and a DL103D. I gave up on the D103 because I could never get it to sound good enough for me to listen to and all that modding and hand selecting can cost more than a new cartridge so why even bother trying to make a silk purs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul and others,I put the M20FL into a heavier headshell and then back into my SME 3009 with a heavier counterweight to get an arm balance.The bass was better but the setup seemed a bit excessive for the 3009 and I thought the sound should be bett... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy: Thanks for the information. Maybe I need to go up in arm/headshell mass and not down. I didn't try the M20FL in my SME 3012 but I will now. Dave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Speaking of the M20FL--- I also bought a NOS one from Germany because of the rave reviews here and the relative low cost.So far I've only tried it in my SME 3009 S2 Improved arm and I'm beginning to think that it might do better in a lower mass ar... | |
| Thoughts on SPUs I have an old SPU/GT with a .17 dia tip. The xfmr was removed when I got it so I'm using an Ortofon T-30 xfmr with it and the cartridge is mounted in an FR64 arm. I could easily be happy with it if I didn't have some other quality cartridges, MM a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sanlanman,I was frustrated for years because I couldn't find a cartridge/arm/table combo that made the majority of my large LP collection sound engaging enough to me so I could enjoy the performance/artistry instead of listening to things I didn't... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Now that I've taken the time to seriously try some old cartridges I know they will be used.My better MC, a Miyabi, pleases me by being a very neutral sounding device not favoring anything and being an excellent tracker but when I hear the Emp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,I have a Grado MCZ5 that I forgot to mention. I had it in an Empire 298 about 10 years ago and it didn't really make my feet tap so I ignored it for all these years other than to buy a new stylus for it a couple of years ago just in case I ev... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul & contributors to this thread,I've been using an expensive MC for about 8 years and it does make my AT OC9ML MK11, Denon DL103 and 103D sound kind of inferior but it's not worlds a part from my FR1 MK11 MC.I've heard this MC sound any num... | |
| Speaker Shipping Restrictions If you dig you will find an FAA guideline for how much magnetic radiation can be present at a certain distance from the magnet. I don't think a pair of speakers packed for international shipment would be a problem. You might try calling a couple o... |
