| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi boofer,I have a copy of that comparison and agree that each of these is a fine cartridge, favoring the Micro Acoustics myself. I find it to be the fastest-sounding non-MC cartridge I have yet heard, excepting MA’s upper-line models. Very dynami... | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Hi ptss,"Significantly faster and more musical" than the "5400 ES which I owned when I bought the RT20;no contest"Ever compare either to the Modwright 5400ES?Best to you ptss,Dave | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Okay by me, Nikola. Best to you,Dave | |
| Taralabs cables Hi audiolabyrinth,I imagine your "budget system" to be quite good as you could have bought a Maserati/Ferrari for what you must have in your Tara Labs cables/cords in your main system. ;)Best to you audiolabyrinth,Dave | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? I continue to learn...noromance, what makes the MA electrets unique to all others that I am aware of is they have a "common to MM" 3.5mV output and seem completely insensitive to cap/res loading. No special accommodations required to get their bes... | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Hi noromance,I can't say. The Stereophile review of the TOTL cactus-needled Hyperion says that it is a "moving iron" design. Best to you noromance,Dave | |
| Taralabs cables Thanks. Now I can relax and enjoy the music.Read where you plan to try Cerious GE?Best to you audiolabyrinth,Dave | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Hi Raul,I recall your mention of the MA 630/830 as top contenders in your initial post on the MM thread. It seems that many are missing out on this fantastic and unique group of cartridges.I have searched almost continuously for a 630/830 but have... | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Some interesting reading material on MA’s final electret cartridge products:http://www.vinylengine.com/library/micro-acoustics/system-ii.shtml | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi audioman58,Good to read your impressions of the various fuses. Too bad you used the post to editorialize about cables. My experience with SR products over many years is completely contrary to yours. As there is no Virtual System posted for you,... | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Hi nandric,No special anything to use the MA electrets. Just the opposite. Output is a very-agreeable 3.5mV and they seem to be, as claimed by MA, immune to loading, both capacitive and resistive. I suspect that it is this immunity that lets the... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi nandric,I don’t think you will experience reprisal here over your comments on the ET Two, made in jest or otherwise. We are all confident in the virtues of this arm based on years of listening (and also of tweaking) and comparing, thus knowing ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,You were right as usual re: the Symposium-modded TNT using Rollerblocks as the sole support for the plinth and the corner footers being for show only. I will attempt to contact jloveys hoping to get some pointers. Thanks for the tip.nandr... | |
| Taralabs cables Thanks for the extended explanation audiolabyrinth. You remind me, well, of me. lolI thought as much re: the "thin wire about 3 inches long". My Ayre preamp’s L &R outputs are on the exact opposite end of the back panel, so I had to "rig" a sm... |
