| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I've seen posts on this thread about sellers who were suspected of taking money for defective cartridges. However this turns out, it is unseemly for you to be named as one. Although this is not a tribunal, people reading this have only heard... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I wasn't going to post on this thread until the tape ball incident was cleared up, but I'm compelled to comment. I didn't design the phono stage that you thought, and I have no financial interest in any currently manufactured product. I susp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Montepilot, I agree with you regarding detail and resolution. There's no disputing your results. There's a big movement lately about preferring musicality over detail, but I don't think it's an either/or proposition. Sometimes it might seem that w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew, Yes, the orig stylus for the 980 Is the D98, but the D81 is interchangeable, so are the other Pickering styli I mentioned. I don't know if there is any difference between a D81S and a D98S, possibly compliance or some qualitative differenc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I thought it was common knowledge that Stanton and Pickering were sister companies. They shared the same technology and stylus substitutions are prevalent between model lines. Some time ago I posted that I'm using a Pickering D3001 stylus on my 98... | |
| WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LINN K 9 CARTRIDGE? If you want a new stylus for your K9, you have a few choices. Audio Technica was the OEM for this, and it takes the same styli as the Clearaudio MMs. The options are either an AT95 or it's various aftermarket replacements, or the 3472 series (P-mo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, Lucky for you the XV-15 750E is not the same generator as the 681. The 750E is a MM and the 681 is a MI which happens to have 930mH inductance. Perhaps you meant stylus substitution/body style? I suspect you could get a replacement subst... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Superglue or even epoxy can be cut with a razor or sharp blade like a scalpel. If applied sparingly, in a manner as described, there should be no problem removing the stylus holder/assembly. This would be very different from using contact cement o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Prof, I guess in 1980 the gentlemen at BAS, and possibly most people, only thought in terms of VTA/manufacturer spec and/or level cart top. As you know VTA is angle of cantilever to record and not SRA. SRA will vary for any given VTA, cart to cart... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Prof, I just looked at the first file. It's 1980 confusing because cutterheads were calibrated in terms of VTA or cantilever angle. The standard changed from 15o to around 20o. Because of VTA variations in carts, SRA is really what counts. 2o forw... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? LOL Aceman, 1000 hrs of Kenny G. Dude does not abide.It seems to me there are different types of skewing, those from the factory and those as a result of incorrect AS. There are also different cantilever connectors to magnets or coils. Common sens... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sometimes a slightly skewed cantilever can be corrected by using max VTF and corrective AS, in opposition to the skew. I've successfully done this a couple of times. My results indicate you must catch it early, before it gets extreme. Sometimes it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, You quote me out of context, not even a complete sentence, and change the meaning. It wasn't a command, it was a request. You omitted the word please.""address further comments on this subject to someone else." is not exactly what I said... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I said I wasn't sure about CENTRIPETAL force. I still don't see tangency or lack of, as causing skating. Must you be so emphatic? I'm done with this. Please address further comments on this subject to someone else.fleib | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, The basic vector is tangent to the groove in a clockwise direction. This is further complicated by the pivot/offset angle thing. Please read the last paragraph under Arm Systems (below). I think that's it in a nutshell. Beyond that you'll hav... |
