| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm, indeed - bandwidth is the key to a perfect square wave. Here however we deal with a electro-mechanical transducer which transforms mechanical declination into electrical swing. As you mentioned, the resulting bandwidth here is a functio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, generalization is what it is - generalization. That includes exceptions from a general line .. ;-) .. no doubt, there are (have been ...) a few MI and MM cartridges with very low moving mass. None of them however (did) set the all-time mark... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm, sorry, but I can't buy that from PL. Core-less LOMCs do have much less moving mass than even the lowest output MI ...In any case my main intention was to express my interest in a true high-class LOMM design. Dearly hope that one day we ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dlaloum, dear Timeltel, the ability to reproduce a clean square wave response - i.e. fast rise and settling time - is direct related to moving mass INSIDE the cartridge. By their very design, MMs and MIs do struggle with a much higher moment ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear T_bone, dear Nandric, indeed - that particular tonearm ( I shouldn't name because of known reasons ...) - is form-follows-function is the strictest sense of the term - as originally meant by the industrial designers of the early 20th century.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dlaloum, given my low enthusiasm in fighting windmills and little spare time, I restrict myself - and thus my comments - to the bare minimum. The good support some high mass tonearms do offer for many MMs performance, has little to do with th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, dear Thuchan, there is a technical explanation why the FR-66s handles the MM cartridges so well despite the obvious "high effective moving mass vs high compliance"-mismatch. If you are curious, I am happy to explain that technical bac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, ...;-) ... "it is allowed what you fancy, what is accommodating" ...a good translation, if however Goethe's "was sich geziemt" includes not just what is accommodating, but what is legal, commonly accepted and ethically approved as we... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I will not take any side here, but I just want to recommend to everybody's attention once again the ultimate statement by J.W. v. Goethe regarding individual human preferences in all aspects of personal life: "erlaubt ist, was gefaellt,... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Hi Jazzgene, the "black" reticule proofed much more difficult to produce in equal quality than estimated. This is not laser etched, but has to be printed. We finally got a perfect inspection sample this week and will get the full production run ne... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Thuchan, the full 2nd production run of the UNI-Protractor was just collected by the shipping service. I wanted to have this on it's way first before actually introducing the new UNI-P2S.The UNI-P2S will finally be introduced and in stock by ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Nandric, stylus drag is a resulting force related to VTF. The actual "value" of the force in question does vary because of VTF, stylus shape, alignment, record "grip", record weight etc. - IMHO the more important point is how to tame the beas... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Need to mention that I was in México twice in the mid-1990ies. Both visits were a 1 week stay in México city with the then CEO of BMW-México. So I was in an all-guarded area and saw little more of the mega-city than what was possible through the s... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Dear Isochronism, I think blondes will never ever get out of being en vogue - at least not as long as there are real conaisseurs among men. So the competition may not be high in number, but fierce in quality !! However - I for one are no longer in... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Dear Nikola, just 3/4 of the girls world-wide? Unfortunately the percentage of blondes is much much worse ..... and then a man must stand to his passion !!You just can't please all the people (girls ...) all the time.Or: so many opportunities - so... |
