Hi All,Does anyone know about the links between the cantilever suspension system used in the top range AKG and Glaanz cartridges? Is there a common engineer etc?Cheers 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Montpilot,As you'll see above, I had the AT20 SLa (Special Edition) with the SS stylus and was very impressed by its detail retrieval and composure. I wish I had not sold it now but, unfortunately, I just couldn't give it the time or home it deser... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,I remember someone on this thread recently suggesting that different cartridges perform better on different recordings. Well, while there can slight detail issues with the Andante, if anyone has or is ever fortunate enough to be able to get... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Raul,Sorry to persist. however, I notice earlier in this thread that you argued for the importance of tonearm set up in evaluating ultimate performance of your tt and its plinth. Yet it seem to me that you have suggested that your new armboard is ...

Raul,Just had the same experience with the Andante/Azden/Technics P mounts. No change needed for any and all perform perfectly. Btw, the Andante performs very well in the AC3300 with the Denon PCL 4 headshell and your recommended AT cartridge leads.

Raul,Thanks very much for your full and thoughtful response: "I like those differences that are so 'nice' that almost I don't have in deep preference for any of them."I know what you mean and agree. I think a good few of these cartridges are in ke...

Raul,What would be the benefits of owning the U205C if you're a P100 Mk4 owner: is the stylus a good match or something else?Cheers 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,I'm a little confused. Have you or have you not already auditioned the AT24? I only ask because you seem to already have confirmed the suggestion that (apart from your preference for the AKG) there is no finer performer than this audio techni...

Halcro,You're welcome to the deserved praise. And, on the Technics, I'm certain another one will turn up. Just keep an eye on the Japanese market. Every cartridge shows up sooner or later its just down to patience and a little fortune to get in th...

Halcro,Many thanks for the endorsement. Btw, I really appreciated your (or your better half's) description of the 1000 ZE/X's natural presentation: "like water". It seems to just about sum it up. If you get a chance I would be interested in hearin... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,No, I haven't had a chance to hear one yet. If you look at my earlier thread started about the 1000 ZE/X, you'll see that I was strongly recommended to get hold of the 4000 but I've still not done so yet - even though I was made a kind offer ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,An offline conversation has made me aware that my having described the Empire 1000 ZE/X as "great fun" might be seen to undermine its quality. Just to clarify, I think it is a 'great' cartridge but not of the quality of my Technics - to whi...
