Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Folks,In my measurements of a range of cartridges recently, I have succeeded in identifying what I believe are the Cantilever resonances. (model the electrical behaviour, deduct the measured behaviour and you have an approximation of the cantil...

Does anyone know where one could find a Line Contact / Shibata stylus for an Azden YM-P20/P50 cartridge? (an original P50VL would be lovely...)thanks 
Nagaoka MP-500, what's your comment?
Just on the off chance someone might still be looking at this thread...Any update on how the Shure V15VxMR went in retipped Soundsmith version?thanksDavid

I think anyone posting here is well up in the obsession stakes.... otherwise we would happily be listening to the 50,000 tracks we have on our iPhone through little Apple earplugs....Audiophiles are by definition perfectionists..... just a happy b...

Raul - thank you .... sometimes a bit of a reality check is required! I still recall with fondness my first "stereo" of Rotel Integrated, Radio Shack speakers and pioneer PL-320... I must say though that my first experience of high end, was with a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Timeltel....an observation - usually lower voltage cartridges also have lower inductance. (more coils = more inductance and more voltage)Lower inductance leads to more extended frequency response especially with low Capacitance.AND if the electric... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Timeltel, Raul,could you guys please post... 1) The load capacitance of your phono stage and cables (total capacitance), 2) The Impedance/Resistance load used in the configuration, 3) The Inductance (and if possible resistance) spec of the cart...

Hi Raul,re: Listening levelsMy own observations are that the Level dependency is very speaker related...Some speakers need to be driven to a certain level before the details (in the recording) start to become apparent. - I used to have a pair of K... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Timeltel, yes indeed - also I have read references to a paper Ortofon put out in the late 70's or early 80's about their "Ortophase" methodology, theory etc... But so far I have not been able to find a copy.The trouble with using resonance to c...

Hi Timeltel,to the best of my knowledge the 6006 (2002/3003/4004/8008) is part of the same family as the AT3282/300/301/311.Apparently some members of that family were available in a low inductance (unknown stats) 3mV output version. According the...

Still no one out there with info on the Signet TK6Ep ?I have fitted mine with a 440MLa.And I have measured it as follows:Inductance 565/567 mHResistance 791/797 OhmI don't know at what frequency my multimeter measures, but the normal AT specs are ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I was just reviewing the specs of my Sony XL-MC104 HO MC cartridge... (which is a very sweet sounding cartridge...)Having just measured the cartridges inductance (0.6mH) I then plugged it into the Hagtech calculator - and with an inductance of 100...

Yep ... what about:MF Astatic series - MF200 = 90mHElac ESG896 & ESG870 = 200mHElac ESG791 = 250mHGrado Prestige series = 45mHAKG P15/P25/P8 = 150mHEmpire 66 = 225mHAT180ML = 240mHEmpire 3000-I = 280mHEmpire 2000E = 300mHShure V15V = 330mHEmpi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Timeltel...apparently Ortofon have been pushing the Linear Phase wagon for many years.... it was mentioned in a Gramophone review from the 70's or early 80's I was reading... "Orthophase"?A number of people have stated that getting Phase right ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hmm with all this Signet info flying around, does anyone here have any specs or other information on the Signet Tk6Ep?This is the same format p-mount body as the AT102/112/122/132/142/152.... and accepts the same styli as the "2" series and the AT...
