| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry - what I meant was I picked up the data/statistics....The family members that I have "picked up" ie that I own, are the XSP3003 (250mH) and XLZ7500 (1mH)It would be nice to have a 980H or 880 to be able to compare the High Inductance version... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,the original doco from the XLZ talks about its ability to "handle" long cable runs.I do need to scan it and send it to the VE library - the copy that's in there now is almost unreadable..picked these up:Pickering XSV/4000: 900Ω 510mHStant... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi LewmI think the real clue behind LO vs HO designs is in the marketing info about the LO models (both pickering and stanton)Cable length... ie cartridge loading.With the LO, you can fit it on TT's with high capacitance cables (or long cables) an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi FolksFollowing on the earlier discussion about LO vs HO, and low Inductance vs High Inductance...I used my Pickering stereohedron D7500S stylus in an XLZ7500 and a XSP3003 - basically the HO-High Inductance body vs the LO-Low Inductance body - ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib - interesting comment about MC's generating current - and there are phono stages that focus on current rather than voltage - Dynavector P75...I'm not saying lower inductance is a negative by any means, but I do question quite specifically1) ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,Yes - I was channeling "Audio Golem" - I have been a fan of the Lord of the Rings books since first reading them in the mid 70's... and with a name like Sussuro... how could I resist!With regards to the conflation of low inductance and low... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sussuro.... my precious.... (licks cartridge.... gently cuddles it against his cheek....).... pressssioussss..... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains - some of the classic designs are still being manufactured...The Audio Technica VM generator is available in the very economical AT90/91/92/300/301/3478 series, the AT95, and the AT120/440/150.The biggest difficulty is getting good to gr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There was also a remark about the Stanton Pickering LOMM carts...I would be interested in peoples comments as I am about to start testing one - would be good to compare notes...bye for nowDavid | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib - I hear what you are saying... and I will try it out experimentally.I have a LOMM (XLZ) and currently a matching HOMM (XSV) - and can customise their loading to match!Same design house, using same cartridge, in same turntable, with same sty... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Honestly I see no reason why a MM cannot achieve ultra low mass - the Technics EPC100 series achieved effective stylus mass of 0.055g - which I think is the lowest I have seen...Inductance was 33mH.I am not yet convinced about the need for hyper l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Guys,yes when talking about the "stylus" I am talking about the entire removeable unit on a typical MM / MI setupThat is to say the needle itself, the cantilever, the suspension and the damping...Although the needle affects the levels of distor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,With regards to your comment of a TOTL cartridge working best with its intended stylus.With the greatest of respect I disagree.At the manufacturer recommended loading - this will be partially true - but the loadings are always limited by mark... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Folks,I am the new caretaker for Travbrows TK9/ATN25...So it is staying "in the family"... rather looking forward to it...I actually had not conneted the dots in my mind between username here and ebay seller name (which are the same!).It went f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Just wanted to reiterate Fleib's request...if anyone has access to AES paper #1866, convention 71, this might be helpful.The paper is the Ortofon AES paper on phase response in cartridges, in which they tested a number of MM/MI cartridges, and the... |
