| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,Your rant against the United States is unwarranted and unwelcome. All of this because a US merchant refuses to ship a stylus to countries with unstable political situations without ensuring that he will get paid? Get some perspective. Thos... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you for responding Raul. I did not expect you to go through a full re-evaluation of the 4000D/III and I appreciate your comments that it is still regarded as a "standard/reference MM cartridge". No sarcasm or offense was intended by my use o... | |
| cartridge for Thorens TD 147 with TP 16 Mk III I have this table/arm and use a wide variety of vintage high/medium compliance MMs. I would recommend the Micro-Acoustics MA 2002e. A NOS 2002e can be found for sale on "you-know-where" right now.Happy Listening,Dave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Mike. The Empire has a very balanced and lively sound that I enjoy. I was hoping that it had endured as one of the "standards" among the folks on this thread, but maybe it was just another short-lived favorite.I also have a TK7-LCa and woul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I was 3 years ago today that you posted your glowing review of the Empire 4000D/III: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ranlg&1275323834&openfrom&1&4#1At that time, you ranked it as second only to your Technics EPC-P... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Fleib,Perhaps this will help clear up the confusion on the 5 DIN to XLR wiring recommended by Ayre:http://www.ayre.com/acc_phono_schematics.htm#phdinDave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I use an Ayre K-1xe preamp with the differentially-balanced internal phono section (very similar to the P5xe you previously owned). My tables/tonearms all have the traditional single-ended phono cables with RCA connectors, so I am currentl... | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? Thanks Wntrmute2. I appreciate the info. Dave | |
| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? What would a mint condition, original owner TNT 2.5 with air bladders, SDS, and JMW 12" arm on zebrawood armboard be worth these days? Thanks,Dave | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am a few months behind this thread's relevant discussions on the Astatic MF 200, but I just lucked up on a NOS MF 200H. It is everything that Raul (and others) say that it is, IMO equaling (or surpassing) my previous favorites, the Signet TK-7LC... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Gracious thanks to Halcro, Jmowbray, and Raul for your responses re: surface noise with my TK-7LCa. I was hoping to hear from Timeltel too ;)Halco - I got this cartridge as a "free surprise" when I purchased an inexpensive Thorens TD-166 MkII from... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just placed my Signet TK-7LCA (with the original stylus) back in service. Wow, what a cartridge!! Even on my modest Thorens TD-147 with TP16 MkIII arm (7.5g eff. mass), this thing has detail, clarity, imaging, air and space that is far beyond wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Henry for the recommendations on VTF and VTA. I will experiment with it and report back on what worked best.One strange issue with switching the TP63 armwands between the Thorens TD166 MKII with the TK-7LCa and the TD-147 with the ADC XLM I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hey Timeltel and Halcro,You won't believe this, but i just bought a Thorens TD-166 MKII table cheap on ebay just to get the TP63 armwand off of the tonearm as a second wand for my TD-147 and it came with a Signet TK-7LCa cartridge!I did a quick se... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... A good friend of mine makes excellent Class D amps. I have heard them numerous times and did not think that they sounded the least bit "dry, unmusical, and strange in the treble". I would not confuse their sound with tubes, but they were not unmus... |
