Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,Does anyone have detailed instructions for the set up of the B&O MMC2 (in keeping with those provided for the Garrott P77 above)? Otherwise, can anyone share their tips for setting one up to best effect?I'm hoping to use mine on my Audi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,As with Phaser, I followed Raul's suggestions for setting up the Empire 1080LT. It definitely works. The cartridge moved straight into the realms of the top performing MM's. I need to give it more time and play around a little with the very... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dgarettson,I have a clip that I will not be using for a few years (too many others to grow familiar with). If you want to take this to tide you over until you can produce or find/buy a new one, just contact me off line by email and we can arrange ...

Downunder,Regarding the ADC-XLM range, I think the problems with performance are complex. Apparently, ADC's earlier cartridges in the range (particularly the "Super" cartridges) had very high compliance figures (of course, along with very wide fre...

Phaser/Downunder,Regarding the MP50, I use mine on a Nagaoka magnesium headshell. You can usually find these going cheap on eBay etc. Obviously, use the best headshell connecter cables you have or find. I use it on a damped unipivot tonearm - the ...

Downunder,I fully understand your perspective on the ADC XLM-III. I think you'll be more satisfied by the 'XLM-II Improved', which you can still find for sale NOS. If you get really lucky, I believe the initial 'ADC Super XLM' (1972 model) is even...

Phaser,I am one of the owners of the 1080LT to whom Raul referred. I fully understand your findings on it. HOWEVER, please do try other mm's. I feel they will more than bring a new perspective on the performance of the Orpheus. I'd recommend you s... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Ricahrd,I have not heard the MP50 Super with its sapphire cantilever. The only one I've even seen for sale was Raul's. However, I highly rate the MP50 original and you can still find these going on eBay. Sadly, as with the law of supply and demand...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Richard,I have been assisted by some of the posters on this thread (Michael, Lawrence and Raul in particular). The other sources have been hifi friends over here in the UK and, finally, constant searches on eBay and specialist sites. It didn't tak...

Siniy123 & Lewm,Many thanks for your kind help and support. I have managed to order one. Well, apart from Raul's new favourite (the AKG P-100LE), I think that's it for now - I've managed to amass the top 10 mm's recommended on this site. I'm l... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi All,Can anyone sell me the adapter for the B&O MMC-2? I'd like to play it on my Audiocraft AC3300, which seems to do an amazing job with all of my MM/MI's. Many thanks

Dertonarm,Maybe a quick read of all the thread will give you some perspective on the general line of experience being expressed. The best LOMC's seem to have formed an important backdrop time and again. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Rayr2,Certainly, I have been playing my cartridge recently and if it helps:The AT20 SLa is a truly great cartridge. I'm finding it really difficult to rank the MM's though as nearly all of high quality ones seem to present the musical event accura...

Frogman,Thank you. On the issue of acoustics and venue, this obviously can affect both the various venues in which the same piece of music might be played by the same musicians with widely differing outcomes not to mention the differing venues in ...
