matching cartridge and speakers
Dear Inna, I certainly have to the slightest problem with "stressing the art part" of the game. However I noticed the the 160+ top-flight audio set-ups I have visited and listened to in my life, that the "science" should be solved first.You won't ...

Dear Ct0517, sorry - I was serious ! Life can be kind .... sometimes. But it took me a long time to find that particular girl.Kind of copernican journey in itself....;-) .... much harder than audio - at least as rewarding.Cheers.D.

Well - reality bites ...... which is an inevitable side-effect of reality .... it is real.Enjoy the trip.As a serious epigraph: do take care to match cartridge's dynamic-mechanical parameters with the moving effective mass and energy conductivity ...

Dear Geoch, this is not about elitist behavior nor such a state of mind - it is about logic and using one's brain."Matching" speaker and cartridge. Oh please .... I certainly have a lot of understanding for many "each his own"-attitudes. I am cert...

Well, if I didn't knew before, than I know now why high-end audio is called by some bright minds "big boys toy- and dreamland". Kind of "have no idea where to go from here, but will do so with high pace, past experience and all my strength" -appro... 
What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built?
Dear Mikelavigne, yes - most great european generated music - classical as well as jazz and rock, beat etc. - was recorded on Studer - most american on Ampe(re)x.The voltage conversation isn't all that great deal at all - this does frequently scar...

Well, while I certainly agree regarding mechanism and transport, I have good reason for recommending the C-37 especially for home use 2-track playback. Carefully serviced, their built-in amplification is about as close as you can get for the best ... 
The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....
Dear Nikola, I didn't want to ask any specific person about this - I wanted to get the information/recommendation as eclectic as possible. There was no reason to direct the question to someone in specific. Furthermore - I'd rather intended to dire...

Studer C-37 with thoughtful modification. Had two of them. Never heard more faithful, dynamic or physical presence from any R2R. Together with "air" and soundstage.Cheers,D. 
The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....
Dear Halcro, dear Timetel, actually I wanted to have this thread as "open" as possible. Many of the best MM and MI cartridges are long discontinued and their dampers (guess we all noticed, that "break-in" time of MMs is (if any...) much less than ... 
The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....
I certainly agree that there is a good number of very good performing MM and MI cartridges out there. What I am missing however are a few MM/ MI cartridges which do display greatness.Is there any MM cartridge (or MI) out there were you would say:"...

There aren't any other two components in the audio chain which are more independent from each other than the cartridge and the speaker.They both are interfaces to the purely electrical part of the audio chain.Their jobs are entirely in reverse to ... 
The greatest MM and MI cartridges ....
Dear Halcro, no other agenda here as to separate the two threads indeed. This is about the MM and MIs - Syntax' is about the classic MCs.Period.And - yes, there were a few MM and even 2 MI cartridges which did indeed influence me in my journey and...

Gentlemen, please calm down .... the blonde in the video is just a marketing "tool" ..... sorry to burst the bubble with cruel facts however.I noticed her too - looks like a sister of my wife.Cheers,D.

Dear Halcro, I certainly agree regarding the proportional unbalance of the whole ensemble. I for one would always try to use a bearing with zero horizontal force (- well, not on the Well Tempered TT of course....;-) .....
