Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what?
Thuchan Yes thanks for asking, nice to know you care - I felt comfortable before & now after your comments. I think as you would clearly know, having more than one nice turntable gives you a perspective that one can not do everything. BTW - h... 
Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what?
Thucan" Alectioning, what I learned from a friend in France: it is not easy to sell a Raven at the moment. I do not why but many potential buyers my friend contacted were quickly offered nearly new Ravens for a very good price. I have no clue how ...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Agree with Lewm, I heard the P5X and it sounded good - a little warmer than the Xono but both in the same ball park. I believe the "e" is better again 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Axel I don't know what the phono module is like in your 326S, however I just looked at the manual and it has no specifications that I can see. If you are saying that the Windfeld and Orpheus sound bad, I think you need to try and borrow another ph... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Axel I am sure glad I did not buy a Winfeld based on your comments. sounds like you need to sell it if it is really that bad in your sytstem. Funny I had a Jubilee and did not care for the way it played music in my system. The A90 OTOH is just a s...

Hi Lewm, DgarrestonI too don't believe in the cliche's of SS v tubes either.To clarify what I said thou " If anyone's tonal balance is ultra neutral (tube or SS, however generally it may be SS) using a highly detailed/transparent MC or MM would pr...

Axel the MP-50 should settle down after 10 or so hours. changing the cap loading has obvious changes in the sound opf the upper frequencies. I found 100pf a little too detailed and have settled on either 200 or 250pf depending on how my ears are s...

Audioquest, I saw one of your Transrotors in HK. Very nice bling :-)

Hi Raul Good to see we agreeRaul said" here are some: needs additional gain stages where added distortions that in the MM's does not exist, additional cables for the SUT's, normally the MM/MI's are better trackers than the MC: here too the MC add ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Axel" on the one side you speak of tolerance, on the other of WACO :-) Funny, is it just me, but I have absolutely no issue(s) with Raul's contributions what ever. In fact he often mediated when things got a bit hot, and I truly appreciate THAT... 
Nagaoka MP-500, what's your comment?
Hickory, Don't let Raul hear you say this :-) 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, I am sure the majority of us are enjoying this thread, me included. even the banter between us with differences of opinions is generally light hearted and just that - a difference of opinion - not fact. Except you recently are starting to so... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Gee guys, looks like I will have to open up my Ortofon M20FL and have a listen. sounds like it has a musical presentation vs accurate which is always nice. Will be interesting how it sounds compared to the Nagaoka MP50 as it to my ears is the best...
