| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm - drop Axel a line, he responds in good English... he may even be able to handle American.. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,terms like "smooth" and "romantic" are usually problematic...They have a strong tendency towards subjectivism.... and as a result can mean something different to each and every person.Usually when I see the two used together, the cartridges... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Shure ML120/140 Ultra300/400 Dual version body !?I just came across a very interesting add on ebay...For a Dual TKS380e cartridgeI had not heard of this cartridge before, but on doing a little research it appears to be a Dual mount version of the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, is "too relaxed" code for a dropping top end? If so it is fixable with lowered capacitance or raised resistance... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sebastien - sibilance has two likely/possible causes:1) Mistracking - this need not be gross mistracking of the needle jumping from the groove type, but even slight mistracking will quickly lead to audible issues at the high end....Causes of mistr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,I don't think pressure fit is possible on a solid boron cantilever...The tip is therefore bonded (it sits in a dab of glue on the tip - I posted some photos on VE in the stylus shape thread)It looks almost identical to the method also used ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, you left out the low output members of the family..Stanton 980LZ and Pickering XLZ7500sThe XLZ7500s is 3ohm and 1mHI have also seen the XSV3000/XSV3003 quoted as 500ohm/270mH which makes it identical to the Stanton Collectors series 100.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I have a strong feeling that the AT180 and TK8CL solid beryllium cantilevers (I think?) would be very very similar to the currently available solid boron.Differences would not be of an order of magnitude in any case.Whereas with somethi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regarding Re-Cantilevered cartridges:I just want to remind people that it is not as simple as getting a cartridge "retipped".There is a LOT of work that went into the very best cantilevers, and looking at something like the EPC100 and its close re... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Or get a JLTI Phono - a SS Allen Wright (ish) design... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This vendor has quite a range of rare vintage styli as well... but at prices that make a top of the line Ruby retip look like a very reasonable economy option! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A simpler and more reversible option rather than glue, is a tiny sliver of blue-Tack or plasticine along the inside edge of the stylus holder (away from the cantilever shank)Although this is an elastomeric connection rather than the "hard" connect... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Three cheers for the optimistic perfectionist.... And as for AS.... my Revox Linatrack does not appear to require any! ;-)Apparently some listeners still use those archaic beam on a pivot systems.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is a list I put together for myself of headshells - quite a few of them I own and the data is my measurements, others are measurements posted online that I have recorded for reference:Brand Model Weight Technics 5.7 Garrard Ugly Silver 5.7 Bl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Mike - I pulled the specs of VE...The P25MD24/35 (series II) and the P8ES-Supernova and the P15S appear to be the same body (based on electrical parameters)Is it right that these four have interchangeable styli?P25MD (series I) - seems to b... |
