| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,From memory, I'm not really sure if the noted review (or any other really) will give you the level of detail you desire but it will at least increase the available perspectives and information, I suppose.Cheers | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,It appears that the Glanz, particluarly my G-7 has some common roots with the Astatic MF range as had been suggested earlier in this thread. However, there are clear differences, which might explain some of the clear sonic differences in pe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Incidentally,My search for the Glanz review turned up a couple of interesting things. It appears that the Glanz, particluarly my G-7 has some common roots with the Astatic MF range as had been suggested earlier in this and my Glanz threads. Howeve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I cannot find the actual review but I have a reference suggesting that it is in the publication: "Hi-fi News & Record Review" (August 1980, p,117).I've recently sold my hifi magazine collection and so cannot confirm but I would appreci... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I looked for it online the other day and couldn't find nor fully remember where I'd seen it. I recall it seemed a fairly old (70's or 80's) article. I'll try again when I get a chance and let you know the outcome.D | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,There is an Audiocraft AC 3300 tonearm currently available on eBay. It's not cheap but definitely worth the funds. I think Raul shares my appreciation of this wonderous arm and it does an amazing job with a wide range of cartridges. Also, v... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Thanks. That seems compelling. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ... And to know that place for the first timeDgarretson, I've been experimenting with my MF100 on a modified magnesium headshell and silver leads. It is even better than I had initially recognised. A joyous cartridge.I'm having a similar experienc... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,Just a return to the issue of set up on the G5. I should point out that there appears to be a reason behind my initial findings for the plug-and-play nature and ease of set up. I must also clarify that I receive a far better sound when the ... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,If the data on the Cartridge database is correct, the performance parameters of the G5 would appear to exceed those of the G7 and MFG-71 range (I do not possess historical data and so use the atemporal term "range" here rather than "series"... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timetel,My pleasure for mentioning what was probably very obvious in the first place. I suppose it was only a 'just in case' pointer really.Have you ever tried your Black Widow with an ADC XLM Super Mk2 (or other) and, if so, what are/were your im... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi All,The Glanz G5 is still very special (in case there has been any confusion regarding my position), even in the new Audiocraft (MC-A) armwand and "on target" overhang etc. A case in point would be a direct comparison between it and the Astatic... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I concur with the view regarding VTA dependency. A case in point would be my Astatic MF100, which performs much better when parallel in my Morch DP6 green dot than in an elevated position (with the Morch or any of my other tonearms). Many lessons ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timetel,I would be careful with the gold leads as they have a sonic signature and tend to colour the sound slightly. The silver leads (S50 specifically) remain a must have for the better MM/MI. | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Raul,Without a doubt and my irritations with you are not universal. I do appreciate many of your qualities and opinions. I also hope to continue to learn |
