Tubed1,The MCZ stylus is still available from Grado ($150 I believe), and it is possible that even the TLZ may still be available.Of that excellent series the ones I know for sure are still available (and a viable upgrade from current prestige sty... | |

Hi Harold-not-the-barrel,It has been a while since I did my Shure 1000e experiments... and you need to consider what stylus you are using.With the N97xSAS in place the frequency range was flattest with high capacitance 500pf with 58k gave exemplar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is a thought - a 20% reduction in cantilever length has a far greater impact on effective mass and rigidity than the material used for the cantilever...The ATML series as an example had shorter cantilevers than the AT1x0 series...The press fi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hmm just had a look at images of the XL88, it looks nothing like the Empire/Benz/Vdh MC1 family - do you mean to say that the internal generator structure is similar? Or is it that the same designed worked on these? | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dover,I requested that Joe Rassmussen (maker / designer of the JLTI phono) load my phono input at 1MOhm, he was more comfortable on his design with 500k - so my custom version of the JLTI has a 500k ohm input load, which I then adjust as desire... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltels response is spot on!all that I will add is this:The R values I find most usefull are (roughly)35k, 47k, 72k, 100k.... if I have more slots I would perhaps add 30k, 40k, 62k.I prefer to use loading plugs rather than a switch, although my ... |
