| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Lew buddy I'll swap you my Technics EPC-P100C MK4 for the current cartridge of the month - Acutex 315III STR :-) Perhaps we can get a MM swap club going as it seems that not many of us keep any one cartridge on our tables for any long term listeni... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Gents Bad luck boys, its just my Aussie dry humour.My Technics EPC-P100C MK4 ain't going anywhere, except to van Den Hull for a re-build one day. I have had it on my P3 for a couple of months now - and it passes the long term satisfaction test eas... | |
| Mac C220 vs. Cary Audio SLP 98P I used to own the Cary 98P. It drove my Mac 2102's easily. Great sounding pre amp and in the tube like category Met mentioned. I preferred by a long shot to the VTL 7.5. I was not impressed by the MM phono stage thou. I thought compared to the lin... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Oh thanks a lot Raul Who wants to buy my Technics EPC-P100C MK4 ? Its clearly not cartridge of the month anymore :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks but a bit more info. do you use the Wally/Mint mirrored method of aligning by the cantilever or just get the overhang etc correct and align by the cartridge body. Do you follow the same procedure if the cantilever is for example sligh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? RaulWhat alignment method do you use? | |
| Dynavector XV-1S tracking force issue HP is full of crap and he does not spend his hard earned money on cartridges, we do. I have owned XV-1 for around 9 years and 2.5 gms of above does not give any sonic benedfit. In my system I have always found between 2 and 2.1gms sounds best.cheers | |
| Which cart works with Ortofon AS309S 12inch arm I have the AS309S on my Raven AC-3. Almost all cartridges I have tried on it sound good. As Raul said, with removeable headshells, the world is your Oyster with combo's. Empire 1080LT MM cart sounded really nice. I currently have the Ortofon SPU R... | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm Thanks for that Rdcline. This is good feedback as I have a Phantom 1 on my AC-3 as well as an Ortofon AS-309-S. was the phantom a mk1 or mk 2 that you compared it to. cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Driveman I only have the Stevenson & Loef for my P10 & P3. With some cartridges the Stevenson had no alignment room at the back of the headshell, so Yip made me a Loef which gives you a couple more mm's to play with. I prefer the Steven... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm It seems that almost all of the Japanese tonearms use Stevenson alignment. My P3 / P10 certainly do. I have had Yip at MintLP do up a Phantom & P3 Stevenson & Loef mirrored alignment tractor and they are fantastic as you can align to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro Do I ever agree with Raul? :-) In all seriousness, with the Technics EPC-P100CMK4 I pretty much concur with Raul. It is a wonderful cartridge and along with the Ortofon A90 the two best cartridges I own. I was pretty lucky to get one of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul you compared the 1000ZE, not the 1080LT. Raul, have you ever heard the EMPIRE 1000 SE/X ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro Do you have the Empire 1000ZE arse up? Sounds like I need to move my Empire 1080LT to the P3 and compare against the Technics EPC100CmkIV Raul, ever heard the EMPIRE 1000 SE/X ? | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm How does the raven tonearm sound ? |
