| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi David, Square wave response was shown to me by an electronics designer. The output of the device was plugged into a scope and analyzed. In the case of an amplifier a signal generator can be used as the input. In the old days square wave respons... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm, Your comments say more about the design flaws of the LO-7D than about Lurne. I must plead ignorance concerning your Kenwood, just as you are ignorant concerning Audio Mecca, Goldmund direct drive and Lurne.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Lewm, I really have no experience using a RF/EMI shield on a platter. I never had a problem in that regard, but I would imagine it could be something that you might not realize it needs fixing until you hear it w/o interference. Is that the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Timeltel, Sorry about that post last night. The 2nd set of pictures at the AC link I provided, above, shows the 95 with mods. I didn't want to add a lot of mass, that's why I used a cut down aluminum headshell. The epoxy holds it rigidly in ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I made it out of an old aluminum headshell, using the old slots to align with the mounting bolts. It is fixed with epoxy. A broken keyboard is forcing me to use an old one whhhhhhhhhich had coffee spilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllled on i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you Timeltel, I started investigating the differences in tips a few years back. This necessitated using MM/MI carts for obvious reasons. Although I wanted to approach from a standpoint of "no preconceived notions", it's impossible to put asi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Lucky you. I've seen a couple of 7Ds sold here on Agon for ridiculously low price lately. ERS cloth is a great idea. You can get it with adhesive backing. Put it under a delrin mat and you'd have the ultimate interface? Built in constrained ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm, Yes, a couple of years ago I was visiting the KAB site and happened to go to the cart section. Kevin was selling the 980 in both hi and low. I didn't need Desktop's recommendation to choose the low. BTW, he thinks the 980LZS might be th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The 980 and 981 are the same cart. The 981, if there was one, came with a matched stylus. I'm told that the low output is far superior. I don't doubt it. This came from as guy called desktop, a pro who used to post on VE. I suspect that any who pr... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, It's been awhile since I was last here. My apologies if I am repeating something already said.I realized that you asked my opinion about inductance and I failed to comment. In general, I consider 400mH to be the line of demarcation. Tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? hello Lewm,***By the way, it seems intuitively obvious that Fleib's points about tonearm/cartridge matching are spot on. Yet, I also take seriously the testimony of Thuchan and Halcro that those big heavy FR tonearms can work well with MM cartridg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul,***What in this regard tell us " physics " ?: well it gives the value/number/frequency where an arm/cartridge combination due to effective mass and compliance that set up resonate. That's all nothing more.***I disagree. Arm/cart res fre... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello, I don't know about wooden arms, but I have a Sonus Formula IV. It's a 4.05g eff mass, aluminum unipivot. Mine has a custom aluminum headshell which brings the mass closer to approx 5g. Eff length is 240mm. Inertia moment is 5213g cm2 with 5... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Timetel,Over the past couple of years I've done some stylus/cantilever substitutions. When you have the same tip on two different cantilevers, the difference can be revealing. If you swap a TK-7_ for a 20SS, it would be much more difficult t... |
