| Azden Cartridges Raul/Jmowbray,The body of the 50VL is gold and that on the 50E (and of the 50C) is silver. I hear differences when switching the styli. Meaning that I get similar performance from both dependent on which stylus is used, which leads me to believe t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Have seen but not tried these Ortofon leads. However, having tested other silver leads (Van den Hul single strand versus Ikeda litz wires) I think this is definitely the way to go. Litz/multistrand options avoid obvious skin effects and sound... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi All,I really hope you guys do meet up to establish some values regarding equipment and capacity. I'm sure that as the time fast approaches for any agreed meeting antagonism will be replaced by increasing mutuality and respect. However, as long ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,I have both the Azden YM-P50VL and the YM-P50E. However, I have not had time to compare them yet. Still playing with the ATML-170 OCC and will then need to properly audition the Technics EPC 100 Mk4. My Glanz G7 audition is also on hold: no... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dertonarm,There must be a way that you could both select your preferred set up (the one in which you feel your best cartridge performs to its optimum)and let others judge the merits of each. If you were then both free to issue personal invitations... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? T_bone,I'm not sure, I've not asked them recently but I suspect one or two of them might! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Just to offer my belated "thank you" for your kind help in assisting me to replace my damaged Audio Technica ATML 170 OCC. I've finally got around to playing it and it is beautiful.So few hours, so many cartridges!!! | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Hi Nandric,The Critiques, particularly in the ultimate Critique of Judgement (1790) is a far more aporetic contemplation than the modern reading that you highlight suggests. This is hardly the place to discuss this but (Frege, Russell and related ... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Nandric,"Kantian apriory truths... I don't believe in any a priori truth"? I think, the Kant of the Critiques is a little more complex and useful than this. I refer to the fact that the notions regarding the "best" obviously drags up questions of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,My pleasure and I wholly agree about the headshell wires. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder/Raul,For headshell leads for your Technics Mk4, you might want to try the Van den Hul MCS 300 leads. They are made with high purity dense (single strand) matched crystal silver and might make a better accompaniment to this particular car... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Just to note that the Andante P76 is a much better cartridge (if slightly 'technicolor' in presentation) than I had realised. The key change in the performance that I am now receiving from it came about with my removing the pins on the p-mo... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,Well at long last, I now possess my Glanz G7. It will be some time before I test or report on it as it needs a suitable tonearm, which I do not currently possess. I have identified what seems to be the best option and will be keeping an eye... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Congratulations on a measured and detailed review. I have only heard the Technics on someone elses system but was massively impressed - to the extent of determining it will most likely be one of my ultimate selected three cartridges (one MC a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A highly rated headshell is the Denon PCL-4 headshell. There is some debate about whether or not it is made of an aluminium or magnesium alloy, although the retailer informs me that he was himself directly informed by its Japanese manufacturers th... |
