| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi all, I agree with Raul, in my experience there are situations where MM's are a better option. Firstly average mid priced MC's, eg Audio Technica OC9, often sound slewed, phasy and non linear, I have demonstrated to customers that a humble Sumik... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "I theorize that the sense of increased detail with LOMC cartridges is due to their lesser ability to re-create the harmonic envelope of a voice or instrument, compared to the best of the MM or MI types."Totally presumptuous ironically from a hars... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, now you might have a hint of what the Ikeda MC, which is Mr Ikeda's next generation cartriudge after the FR-7f, and has no cantilever, might sound like. I have owned 2 of them and believe me, if your arm/phono is up to it, and most aren't, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That last post is superfluous. Digital doesn't resolve anything. Digital is an approximation of a sine wave, nothing more. I think you are in the wrong post. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo363 - I couldn't disagree with you more on multimiking. Most of my classical music section is from the 50's/60's. My view is multimiking destroyed sense of reality, imaging and resolution because - firstly in the real world we only have 2 ea... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - one other suggestion to check out. On the Platine Verdier you can put a steel or ceramic ball bearing into a cavity on top of the bearing axis. The bearing can be adjusted so that just a little weight, not more than a few hundred grams is h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 3D or not to be...What a load of codswallop. Last time I was in San Francisco Amanda McBroom sang for me without a mike in one of the hotels private reception rooms. I could close my eyes and tell you that she was standing about 10ft out from the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - I'm pretty sure that the original Garrot P77 contains many internal mods/tweaks compared to the A&R cartridge it was based on. So if you have one of the originals - do not throw the guts away. It was always much more lively than the e... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - to answer your question, I have had the SME V and can tell you the 3012 is not even close. The 3012 has an old fashioned charm, read coloured, to the sound and lacks resolution. The SME V has a very organic sound, its a big sound. Some peop... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - the SME has double knife edge bearings, that is the arm just sits on a knife edge ( but with 2 lines of contact ). A low compliance cartridge or cartridge that puts a lot of energy into the arm can "rattle" the arm in the bearings which lea... | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani - if it were me, I'd look at updating the tonearm first. I own a 3012 and it is really of collectors interest only. If you want more detail start with the tonearm. If you can afford a Graham Phantom or similar performance even at the cost of ... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Halcro - the Eureka moments are gone in a blink of an eyelid. Just enjoy the fact that you know they are there.I think Mapman has a potentially lucrative business - "My wife goes nuts trying to figure out where the music is coming from at any give... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Henry, this reminds me of an experience with the Cello Pallette equaliser, where in the hands on a record producer it was a very good tool for poorly mixed records and did give more insight and enjoyment from the music.I would have thought that if... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - the cartridge in the picture may be a Dynavector Nova 17D, not the 13D. I dug out my correspondence with Dynavector. The cartridges look identical. If the serial number is in the format X### then it is a 17D. My 13D is ##, ie 45.Now the spe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Raul, re Dynavector Nova 13DThis cartridge was initially purchased/used many yrs ago, the sytem was at the time Final Audio Parthenon turntable/Dynavector 501/NYAL NCP II preamp with HTMPS tube regulated power supply and NYAL OTL1 monobloc... |
