| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Banquo363/Timeltel,Hegel is difficult (although the link through Kant is instructive in comprehension). It has been decades since I studied him but comprehension seems to be enhanced through contextualising his phenomenogical speculation t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I owned the MMC2 and it does require elevated gain levels to fully appreciate its qualities. It provides excellent detail and a stable soundstage and imaging. A neutral and accurate performer is how I recall it: in my particular set up.I sold mine... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,"or Dgob in the subject"You have misunderstood my post. I did not nor did I intend to criticise your practice of notifying people of worthy products. My intention was simply to explain the frustration that I felt Nandric ("like myself 'on occ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I suspect Nandric (like myself on occassion!) was really only moaning about the fact that cartridges (that he might have been tracking for some time) go up in price once they are advertised on an Audiogon thread such as this. This can have th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Regarding the difference made by styli, I have found the same with the Empire 1000 ZE/X when using the original Empire stylus in contrast to the replacement 4236 DEZ, as supplied by Garage-A-Records. They seem to be made of different material... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul/Thucan,I am interested by your comments on "the path" to hifi perfection. I have been mulling over a point that you (Raul) made recently about the distinction between the recorded event (using close field microphones whose sensitivity exceeds... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I know I have been pressing you to retry the Astatic MF-100. However, I have done so because I was surprised by my own experimentation with it. Your response is brief and the quality of exploration is therefore obviously not as deep as it mig... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Thanks for the suggestion and I will keep an eye out for one. I've used the 103D on a Grace G-660P tonearm (basically for the nostalgia of recreating the standard choice and set-up of the Japanese broadcasting compan to good effect. Sadl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,"We are supposed to know what it means to lose some rare stylus or cart".I hope many don't know this now or in the future, although I agee that many do and/or will. Such is this interest. Of course, that wont remove the options of 'empathy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,Would that also mean that there is no way we can understand our feelings without reference to the other in that difficult dialectic between thought/feeling ('What is Orientation in Thinking')? Whether or not the answer to this lies in the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro,I will definitely keep an eye out for a replacement Technics Mk4: although financial constraints might dictate at present.I really empathise with your losses as I'm currently using an Empire 1000 ZE/X to great effect as one on my cartridges... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,Many thanks for your kind thoughts.A tortured soul | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Mab33,Sorry, just reflected on your line "Any existing company wishing to make a new replacement stylus assembly would likely make some sales, but at what cost?". Meaning you are not just talking about a new stylus but the entire assembly into the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Mab33,Sorry, a similar question to the one I've asked Siniy123. However, your feedback from VdH is the same as mine and my further explorations have suggested that simply replacing the stylus assembly would not overcome the loss of the suspension ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy123,I am not certain if you posted this before our last off line conversation? Or does the agent's suggestion that the new stylus would not cure the problem still stand? |
