| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogman,Another commentator who it would be interesting to hear from is Jose Maldanado, the designer of the Essential 3160. I have personnel experience of his exceptional hearing and it would be intriguing to hear his take on those subjects. Howev... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogman,I only play the cello at a low level and so would not comment. However, if you read the FM Acoustics website, you will see numerous renowned musicians speaking about their quite different perceptions of that solid state equipment. Yet, my ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,Just to clarify. Despite Raul's undoubtedly sincere efforts, his comments come down to an observation of fidelity. Plain and simple.Lewm, Apologies but I was trying to give an example and not criticise. My point was more about perception... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Erratum,It should have read: "Anaylsis 'Plus' silver range". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,I suspect the universal response that you will receive to your questions is: "NO".I suspect that (like myself) most people are talking about colourations and not just brightness with MC's. The form of emphasis that spotlights aspects of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,No, Audio T has gone the way of the Dodo. I suspect now that your equipment has moved on and your tastes have matured, you might find a pleasant surprise from the ADC XLM-1. If the tonearm and electronics allow for verisimilitude, the ADC wil... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,As an entrepreneur in the throws of the credit crunch over here, I can assure you that you made the correct decision.So you had a part to play in bringing these things to an unsuspecting public. Honestly, they might not be the ultimate but th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,I have read many things about some lowly MM cartridges that are placed low down the traditional pecking order and none more so than the ADC XLM-1 (the integra version, which I recently acquired as well as the full range of their cartridges ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,thanks, very useful. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I have a few Empire 999 models. Unfortunately,some of them have no markings or stylus. I do have the VE/x versions with markings though but have not had a chance to play them yet! No help really, I suppose! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axelwahl,I believe that your references to "the S1000ZE/X" is a reference to the replacement stylus for the Empire 1000 ZE/X cartridge. I think this is why you and Raul are using difference terms in referring to the cartridge.Silly point but hopef... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy123,No, the fisture seems really integrated. Of course, you can change the stylus but the body seems rooted in the shell. As for their similarity, I suspect the differences might be as telling but I guess I wont know until I do a comparison. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I think you're right. Numerous cartridges display similar designs but perform very distinctly. I'll look into the MF 100/200/300 series at some point but I have my hands full just trying to play the cartridges that I have and those I am curre... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Siniy123,When you note that, "In my opinion Glanz G7 is basically is Glanz MFG-71L, which is same as Astatic MF-100", the Vinyl Engine article gives quite distinct characteristics and suggests that the G series of Glanz are superior (at least as f... | |
