| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,***With sufficiently low C, higher inductance designs can be given the same performance parameters as lower inductance designs*** IMO you couldn't be further from the truth. You're relying on amplitude response and that's only one aspect. A ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? AT-7V vs TK7_ On LpGear which imports the 7V, it's intimated that these are the same generators. It could very well be. There were 2 series of these Signets. The first has tips that can be exchanged with a 15/20 series, like the SS. The 2nd has st... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? RE: The TK10ML on ebay. That's not a 10ML stylus. It's a TK-9Ea which is an elliptical on a beryllium cantilever. It could be a 10ML body with a replacement tip. There was also a TK9LCa with a line contact. The AT 22 through 25 have the same style... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,**IMHO outweight " nothing ". Do you know why a designer build a unit around ICs?. I know the answers but is useless to tell you, I think is better if you find out the reasons real reasons for such kind of designs where quality performan... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I don't know the difference between a TK-10ML and a MKII. IMO many carts have loading requirements that are normally not met. This is another myth perpetuated by the powers that be. Much discussion and tweaking is done for MCs, but MM/MI a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Concerning tubes and ICs. I question the wisdom of your approach in an epistemological sense. I refute all absolutes in this regard. I know there are exceptions to these rules. The output impedance is not always a limiting factor. While ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew,***It would seem to me (without of course my having done any work to investigate it) that a resonant frequency higher than 10 Hz might be more problematic than a resonant frequency less than 10 Hz, for example the 4 and 5Hz figures that som... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree with Raul in the sense that measurements are very revealing of performance and are completely dependant on that performance. It's not always easy or convenient to reconcile subjective results with measurements, but more thorough investigat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think that Teres no longer offers belt drive motors. The Verus is the outer rim drive. www.teresaudio.com/verus-motor.htmlRegards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Geoch, It's funny, I only saw the Thorens Reference. I never heard it. The dealer who owned it kept it in the back room under a blanket. Because I knew the guy for years and I was in the biz, I had the privilege of seeing the throne. The ST4 wa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tuchan, Tell you the truth, I'm no longer on the quest. I just like to play records sometimes. Most of my experience with comparative tables is from 20 yrs ago. I set up tables (among other things) for a living at a couple of different high end... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, What brouhaha? I plead guilty of implying my Sota is a pos. For all I know they completely redesigned and the 4 springs no longer hang from a 1/2" piece of mdf plinth, which bends under the weight. Now I envision this as being steel with... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards David, The LC denotes line contact and ML is micro. There's no doubt that it's damping cantilever movement that causes phase nonlinearities. You are probably right regarding the ATN440ML vs the 7V. The 7V is intrinsically damped due to cu.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm, Fair in the sense of limited experience. Maybe sometimes it's best not to say anything at all. I've seen many of all kinds of tables in need of repair. I've only heard a 7D a couple of times. I was impressed, but by no means definitively.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm, No offense taken. I think it's unfair to Lurne. A Goldmund direct drive was my all time favorite table. I wish I still had it. It left my LP-12 in the dust. Now I have a Sapphire sitting on the floor disassembled. It awaits my redesign ... |
