Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric,I generally find it hard to follow your sentences (English obviously not being your first language) but does your account (03-18-12) really display the claimed maturity of not taking sides regarding Don and Raul? I believe this is also not...

Nandric,I would just note that there are over 11,000 others following this thread - some of whom I discuss matters with off site. You could think of it as my sharing experiences around a cartridge that (although possibly a better performer than an...

Hi All,I simply cannot optimize my G7 with my selection of tonearms. This is not to say that it cannot be optimized in other settings and I will wait until I do find just such a setting.On the plus side of my latest meander, I have not discovered ...
