| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,CA states they are using stronger magnets to increase output. The coils (inductance) remain unchanged. The impedance spec is increased a little - from 660 ohms to 700. This is kind of interesting because the AT440ML and the MLa have identical ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, **I expected to find the same one that is in the Virtuoso. The green one with the bottom (only part that you see),painted black.**I bought my Virtuoso used, with a busted cantilever in the orig plug. That plug was all black plastic with the A... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just visited the VE library to see if there was a manual for someone. I noticed a Precept section in the library and the PC550 is described as a beryllium/nude square shank ML. I'm no longer a member of VE, so I can't open the file, but assuming... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I forgot to mention, a couple of months ago Raul answered the same question about AT20 cantilevers. As much as I can verify, that is correct, all beryllium.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,As far as I can tell the hole for the cantilever in the front of the plug are all the same. Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Aceman,I don't have a Precept body so I can't comment on that. On the 15, the PCN550 seemed forward and lively into the treble region, but not necessarily extra hot at the extreme high end. I changed the system around and maybe I pulled it off too... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Aceman3,Thanks for confirming Wualta's measurements. Apparently the PC110 is different. Specs are similar to the 12/13E.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,All the ATN20_ styli are beryllium. I bought an AT12E body (4.2mV, 1200 ohm) back when Prof an I were trying to figure out Precept equivalent. I trimmed the plastic further on the PCN550 and fit it on the 12. It seems like a good match for the... | |
| New cart for under 1K David, ** I am hopeful that upgrading to a new cartridge helps eliminate some of the treble harshness and provides a sweeter overall sound.**It might not be in your current budget, but it would be much better if you could replace the speakers firs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,In playing around with my Virtuoso I've found that the P-mount stylus seems to track better and sound better than the 95 styli. The cantilevers, although straight, seem thinner and lighter. This means less tip mass and VTF is 1.25 to 1.5g. Com... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, There are no other options for a ready made stylus for the 3400 series, except P-mount styli which IMO are superior to 95 replacement needles, but none come with exotic cantilevers. I assume you're getting a version 1 Maestro? Your best bet m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,I haven't heard the new Babele. Like a CA, it's a custom made generator in a 3400 series body. 470 impedance means it should be PCC wire and might outperform the Virtuoso?Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It has come to my attention that Goldenote (formerly Blurnote) has a new MM cart, the Babele. This replaces an older Babele, a HOMC? Like the CA MM line, this is custom made for Goldenote by AT. The top has threaded inserts for mounting. With an i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? **BTW, Professor Timeltel is still being monitored by the KGB, and his post are being rejected as not " having in depth answers" and not worthy of being posted.**That's troubling. It was the prof who pioneered the beryllium transplant from a 100 s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro,The SAS tip is virtually the same as a microridge or microline. It has a boron cantilever which is the main difference between it, and what Axel made for you. This would be similar to the difference between an ATN440MLa and an ATN150MLX.Reg... |
