| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Lewm So who are you really Pete or Roger? | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? What about the Munich hifi show in May? I have the "magical" Technics EPC-P100C-MK4 & Ortofon A90. Raul can bring his vdh aligned Technics EPC-P100C-MK4 Dertonarm - you can bring a miyabe and your secret cartridge. Lewm can bring his Ortofon M... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? I picked up a NOS Technics EPC-P100C-MK4 and have been playing it for about a week now. I might disagree with some of Raul's rants, but this cartridge is absolutely wonderful. Just looking at the straight frequency response is very impressive. It... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thnx Raul I am thinking of moving the technics onto the Straight arm of the P3 rather than the S arm with headshell. Trying to get a little more bass impact. that is the only weakness in the cartridge at the moment - maybe play time will help as w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul Can the P mount cartridges (technics) be easily used with normal tonearms with integrated headshell? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul yes, I just used the standard headshell wires that came with the cartridge. They are very stiff. I'll look at the Ikeda S-50 wires after the cartridge settles down. That way i will be able to clearly idendify what the headshell wires do to... | |

Who got the other one? cmon fess up boys Got it today and mounted it. WOW, fantastic cartridge. Easily the best MM cart I have heard and that is only after a fe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew I cannot believe you are overloading thye Ayre phono stage as long as you are using the appropriate gain. If you were using the 54db gain I could understand. You are using the 44db gain right? | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Trav I was somewhat tongue in cheek with my Technics EPC-U1200 post. Just goes to show how the mighty have fallen, but it does have a glow in the dark stylus :-) | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Perhaps someone might want to try Technics current top of the range cartridge. Technics EPC-U1200.Now that would be a fun review :-) Raul, you up to it?http://www.joynetmall.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=60_64_376&products_id=3704&osCsid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, by refined I mean that in the upper frequencies the 1080LT is smoother, yet has better detail (no, not not like a bright MC). I just find the M20FL Super in direct comparison just a little ragged and mechanical. cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I will add another MM cartridge to the buy list. Empire 1080LT - NOS P mount. now available from William Thakker and a very nice sounding cartridge. A lot more refined that say the Ortofon M20FL Super. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Hi Lew Tracking force range - 2.0 to 2.5 gm. Recommended tracking force 2.3gm. It will be interesting if Mike keeps his 1.5gm long term on his Garrard, as sometimes what can seem like an improvement in the short term is not as sucessful long term.... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? I guess I will find out. Got one of Raul's worlds best cartridges - Technics EPC-P100C-MK4 in transit. Will be fun comparing it to my Ortofon A90 after it arrives. |
