| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Erratum:"It does not share the warm midrange that some of the cartridges which have been seen as great/best on this thread display."Today I lowered the VTF by around half a millimetre and all the warmth that can be imagined is there. That's part o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I am positive that you're correct and Axel's repairs include an element of retuning. That would be the only way that I can make sense of the changes that he made both to my Technics 100 Mk4 and this Acutex: the latter representing the o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains,The AKG P-100 LE was one of my hit list targets, as a former friend played this to amazing effect during his all too short time with us. I've never heard the P1001e though and so I'll keep an ear out for one.The 420 (at least in my incar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Thanks very much for your kind suggestions and I will definitely give those cartridges an audition if the opportunity presents itself. That might mean waiting for a friend to get one that I can listen to in the first instance, as my genera... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Griffithds,All I can really say with any certainty is that Axel installed his branded cantilever and elliptical (diamant abtastnadel) stylus. If you approach him directly, he will be able to give you more details as he had voluntarily selected ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,Incidentally, I have had the joy of listening to the same records on both silencer and older (solid block) platters and the difference is clear, to my ears. You could not listen to a record on the old platter without some sort of mat.As alw... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,I agree on the Silencer platter. It does make a big difference to the resonances and lack of feedback from the platter (BS factor not withstanding). However, when I tried it naked with various clamps, it slightly raised the pitch while (pos... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,My final response will no doubt take a full day before it passes moderation and so maybe you will have hopefully moved on by the time it appears. However, I would donate a saying of one of my teachers: 'don't let ignorance close doors thro... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,You are wrong on this matter (as Nandric, as an actual owner and listener to the Glanz G series, can testify). However, I have no axe to grind in this matter. If you have made your mind up, that is fine.As always... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,"The MF-100 is in this cartridge series the top of the line and the MFG 71L the top of Glanz series line."This is not accurate. As you know, I owned both the MF-100 and the Glanz G5 and (their actual, documented top-of-the-line) G7. You re... | |
