| New AMG tt just arrived. Lewm - click on system and you can see his whole system. Benz LPS/Ayre...To me it looks unbalanced - heavy platter, small base and why did they have to purloin the AMG V12 moniker. If the table is unique it deserves its own identity. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm this is old news. The newer v2's have stronger magnets, higher output 3.5 to 4.2, and heavier bodies. Impedance, inductance, tracking force, cantiliever, tip etc all remain the same. Supposedly wider freq response, more dynamic, and smoother.... | |

| Original Elite Rock Turntable & Excalibur Tonearm Hi - I used to sell these many years ago.The TT is designed to work with a clamp and a washer under the record.Something in the back of my mind says that on the early ones the spindle was threaded on the inside, not the outside as per normal, so g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - if you are standing on the wrong staircase, then being on a higher step will be to no avail. There are no absolutes in audio. I do think we are guilty of making judgments on equipment without considering the design parameters of the product... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - beware the Carnegie 1, the suspensions are the weak point, they can sit very low. The cantilevers are from memory triple layer of carbon, beryllium & aluminium, easily retipped, Garrots did a few for us, but the cartridges are too diffi... | |
| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available Halcro, yes you are probably right, but for those who use English as a second language, with English syntax being at odds with many foreign languages, our colloquialisms and liberal interpretation with the use of words can be difficult for non Eng... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - It went into a system using a Burmester preamp that had been seriously modded with external power supplies and onboard regulation etc, unlimited loading options and run on both pivoted, Syrinx PU3, and tangential arms ET2. Although some of ... | |
| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available Halcro - An inanimate object such as a MM cartridge cannot be euphoric, are you telling us they have feelings of happiness and elation, get hurt if you try a moving coil or moving iron. Do you put them in the naughty seat if they misbehave ? Do yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - personal experience of Spectral MCR, purchased new, white, bright, opaque, lacked transparency. If you can imagine sitting in a dentist chair and and the anaethestic is wearing off whilst you are getting a root canal done - thats what the S... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, with your recent tales of cartridge woe, I can recommend going north for the water of life - Aquavit. A few drams are ideal for taming the top end of a pesky moving coil. If you need something more robust, try a couple of Harvey Wallbange... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? Syntax - the older Koetsu's generators were held inside the body with paper shims. The Garrotts would glue the generators in & replace the stylus with microscanner profiled diamonds. These modded Koetsu's were far quicker and more transparent ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree - I'm pleased to see that it's not just my magnetic personality. I live in the southern hemisphere, just west of the international dateline, on the shaky isles, and since I post outside of regular hours in the states, 80%+ of my posts get... | |
| Remove your bias for better sound Doug/Al - I 100% agree with Doug's comment that too much antiskate is applied in most instances. The proof is that very few cartridges have straight cantilevers after a short while. The most common mistake I've seen is people using antiskate to ad... |
