| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,I so loved my MP50 and only let it go because of the Glanz and Technics 100 Mk4: more inspired by my views and where hoarding sits within these. In fact, along with the Music Maker 3, the Nagaoka was Raul's first recommendation that pul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,Humour always welcomed. "Raul's recommendations are the best." Complex, that old "best" but if substituted with "great", I could smile with ease. I wonder what Frege might make of that!As always... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains,Just reread my post. My reference to hoarding does not include the likes of Raul, who I consider to be a cartridge collector where his hobby demands hoarding - in the same way as an art, stamp or record collectors' hobby does.As always... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Glanz (despite baffling expressions to the contrary) are S.O.T.A cartridges (at least their G series are when properly mounted) and I am pleased that their work has helped to bring you added listening pleasure.Stltrains,This raises a lo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oops,I think my last post has appeared instantly. Maybe my inability to follow or contribute to this particular thread has increased my standing and ability to post here without excessive moderation. I can only guess but am pleased to note the app... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Kostas_1,I fear that this thread is (by its very nature) far too subjective for anyone to offer you such a categorisation of its findings. You might want to ask what key participants feel is best and view their disparate rankings. However, as I sa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tubed1,Massive thanks for the feedback. I'll read and consider the suggestions properly as soon as I have a chance (pressed for time at the moment). I really look forward to comprehending and attempting the changes.As always... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1,I think that the revamped [Axelised] M420 that I own is sublime. Yet, if there is more to be had from this mammoth, I am literally all ears. What are you suggesting about loading and what improvements did you hear?As always... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Would the argument be something like:It is not only 'how we [can] hear' or 'what we [do] hear' but 'how we interpret that': pleasure remains a personal issue dependent upon the interactions that inform that relevant personality.As always... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I should just add that not all pneumatic supports offer the same degree of isolation and that my most positive experiences relate using to the Audio Technica AT616 Precision Pneumatic Footers in particular. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Thanks Halcro,And I will of course feedback on my findings. I think the grounding issue really is a major one, despite my use of wall shelf mounting and experimentation with a number of platforms and methods of isolation. Walls rarely seem as neut... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Halcro,I don't know if this is on point, but I am currently experimenting with a type of plinth. My reasoning is simple.I noticed that using the Precision Pneumatic Footers directly beneath the naked SP10 greatly improves its performance (here,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul"Btw, where do you read about the 700?, the 1000 that Dgob name it is a different cartridge series: PS not PC and in the magazine I have looks different."I believe I was referring to the Pioneer PC 1000 Mk2: http://www.vinylengine.com/cartr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Stltrains,I suggested it was the AKG 100 LE that I had heard on my friends system. This is not the case, I've been reminded that it was in fact the Pioneer PC-1000 MkII and that gem remains on my hit list, if only to see if it performs as well ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,Yes, VTA. Incidentally, tonearm matches make an obvious but huge difference to the 420's performance. I'm currently playing around, again.I do spare my love for more corporeal beings (or, of course, a football club) though.As always... |
