| Cart for Grace 747 tone arm? The Denon DL301 should be a little more laid back. I think the OC9 will be more detailed.Your low mass arm is usually matched up with MM/MI carts.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Since when does someone else define your evaluation?Perhaps you've already heard a PC550ML and deemed it no improvement, but this would be surprising considering the 550 was the TOTL. I don't blame you for being reluctant to attempt a transpl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,The 155 and 160 seem to share the same motor. If you could transplant the ATN160ML into a round plug, you might improve the PC440.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Professor,What about meter, iambic pentameter and all that. Do people still write that way?

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Distortion is a damning word, as is intermittence. Of greater concern might be the reemergence of digital media as the preferred source, by none other. Redbook proved to be inferior and is now fading away, but not before exacting a heavy toll. Wha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson,Cool looking arm, like someone gone berserk with an custom erector set. In the horiz plane it doesn't matter whether it's technically eff mass or not. You obviously have the right approach, but minimizing horiz weight might not always b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson,*The lateral/horizontal effective/inertial mass of a linear tonearm is the same as its weight on a scale. Depending on choice of wand and air sled this runs from 35gm-100gm in my set-up.*Come again? The air sled is part of the horiz eff... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson,Art 7 surpassing the DL-S1 isn't at all surprising to me. The DL is a nice natural sounding cart as long as your phono pre gets along with it. I keep reading about people having to load it 20 - 3o ohms. It tends to interact badly with p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson, That's interesting. Lateral cu and eff mass are largely ignored in consideration of arm/cart matching, whether in SQ or resultant resonant frequency and trackability, but they certainly effect performance. Most of my experience is with... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson,*A single arm for cartridges of all compliances.*45g horiz eff mass can be increased. Why would you want to?I've heard the theory that increasing horiz eff mass can be beneficial, but this is extreme. Many carts are less compliant vert ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains*Hello all this may have been discussed and I missed it. On a at 155 or 160, now that replacement stylus has dryed up would a 440mla be a good alternative. I just picked up a tk10ml advertised with 100 hours. Haven't received it yet and n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I already gave you my take on the Alchemist III/S. 08-03-13 addressed to you. The only time 100K was acceptable to me was in a 4-ch input. Since you started this thread I tried it again in a couple of phono stages. It was unlistenable. I don'... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Timeltel,I am inclined to quote you, our esteemed Professor and say, "Wrong", but that would only lead to further misunderstanding. Isn't it strange how the combination of a few words can have different meanings for individual readers, and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Yes, I remember the Alchemist 3S, perhaps the best HOMC of its day. Beside the pole piece, if I remember correctly, it had a sapphire tube cantilever. Here's another cartridge whose sound would be degraded by any cantilever replacement availa... |
