Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Wdi,Another less costly approach mighjt be to try the red dot Precision armwand on your Morch. I found this a better match with several MM's than the green dot (despite the well worn formula!) and it is the ultimate match (from my assessments) for...

Wdi,I own the Empire 1000 ZE/X and found this to be a great match with the Audiocraft AC3300 (LB). They really sing together and the AC3300 seems a great match with many MM cartridges.

Hi Rsul/All,Just to let you know that the UK representative is now saying that VdH has had a change in policy due to the increased volume of work. Apparently, they will now no longer give you a quote prior to undertaking work on your cartridge. Th...

Hi All,Who got the Technics Mk4? I still think, given the price of your top MC's that the price was very reasonable.I hope whoever it was that won the cartridge has great joy with this gem.Congratulations

Hi Raul,I've always been playing my Essential set at 3 for capacitance since the upgrade to the 3160 and loving it. Is that the setting that you're using and referring to?All the best 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Downunder,I am pleased that you now realise that my comments very much included my views regarding bass slam, control and extention. I'm being as honoest as I can in noting that, in my system, the Technics 100Mk4 excels there as everywhere: 'when ...

Raul,Many thanks for clarifying the issues about my system and perception of those cartridges. I can only suggest observations based on my most honest experience and that is all I have tried to do above.All the best
