| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi folks,The discussion doesn't actually help me with guidance as to the best way to measure vertical compliance .... but I think I will stick to the vertical track... (makes intuitive sense!?) - and I may confirm using the other method...Measurem... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I am trying to measure vertical compliance as that is what is most critical in matching the tonearm setup, and therefore selecting the right headshell weight for the cartridge...The lateral vs vertical is the cutting/recording method - so ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Fleib,the lateral calc came out at 32 to 35cu where the vertical came out at 14 to 16cuThe former seems too high,and the latter seems too low....I may just redo the whole thing.I have a couple more cartridges recorded but I need to do the e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have a puzzling quandary...When I posted the compliance of my TK9e, it was based on measuring the resonant frequency using a laterally recorded sweep (from HFN Test)When I did the same test using the vertically recorded track - the result was su... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcrothanks for that - I have been keeping an eye on HP developments and the Audeze are up there....but they are more than I currently was planning on spending on HP'sFurther testing has shown that my Sennheiser PCX450's are better at this tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raulthank you for the encouragement - unfortunately it is only the tip of the iceberg....If you could provide me with an additional 36hrs in every day that would help !!But seriously - any feedback is very much appreciated, also peoples listeni... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Folks,as part of my own testing of cartridges... I have been recording the same AR demo record with each cartridge... and when trying several different loadings recording those too.Today I finally got some of this up on the web...Cartridges tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,I believe the Shure range at the time had in order from Top of the line down:Ultra500 (optimised V15V)Ultra400 (Oprimised ML140 with MR stylus)V15VMRUltra300 (optimised ML140)ML140ML120And there is some debate about the rankings at the top... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? An addition to the previous comment about Signet p-mountsI have the TK6Ep and the TK4Ep - these are identical looking bodies from the AT102 family.They can host their original styli or any of the styli from the AT102 or AT120 families (including A... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Folks,another update on my 1000e/SAS vs TK9E/ATN25 comparison...When trying to compare the same tracks I listened to in the morning, but now in the evening, and through headphones - the differences are almost gone.The (or rather... my) speakers... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow - I was by no means making any negative comments.... the cartridge is superb, as is that stylus.I was making comments about the confusion out on the web with regards to what type of tip the ATn25 should have...The cartridge is a corker - ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Very strange - they are claiming shibata tip?I believe the ATN25 is an eliptical?The (supposedly) ATN25 I have is definitely an eliptical (a very beautiful solid diamond naked eliptical - confirmed under the microscope)I do have some ADC Magnesium... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Just had my first listen of the TK9eThis is lovely - smooth, sweet, and so far, most probably the most realistic portrayal of acoustic instruments I have heard out of the JVC TT.I measured compliance at 31cu - and it is currently sitting in a Lust... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,yes I accept the possibility - thorough testing of the theory will take a LOT more listening.... this will happen in due course.I have however made some Square wave recordings and analysed the results showing almost identical responses...... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,yes perhaps it is a lost opportunity... and I did start out bidding on one... but then I thought about it, and thought about the issue of getting replacement styli...And I decided against it!Any day now I will have a TK9 and TK10 to play w... |
