| Review: Clearaudio Concept MM Cartridge Hey- Read the At95/Clearaudio forums at Vinyl Circleand Vinyl Engine...The AT95 can be upgraded and anystylus that fits the 95 will also perfectly fit theClearaudio. Clip off the wings of an AT95/3400 Shibataand the stylus plug looks like the Clea... | |
| Review: Clearaudio Concept MM Cartridge The Aurum series, which this unit is a part of, is reallyan AT95E with perhaps an upgraded needle. A base AT95Ecan be upgraded with an LP Gear or Stereo Needles stylusin either an HE or Shibata. There are further commentsabout the Clearaudio/AT95E... | |
| Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge Raul- Thank you for your kind response. How does the Virtuoso compare to the AT150MLX or OC9? I understandthe OC is an MC but still a lower priced unit.Regards, | |
| Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge I am not aware that any LOMC cartridges are removable perthe rhetorical statement of 8-21. This is clearly an ATcartridge that has been modified by Clearaudio. The plugis an AT plug with or without wings and many believe theplug without "wings" ma... | |
| Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge The Virtuoso stylus is in fact removable by prying out with a small knife or screwdriver blade. Amazingly enough, the Audio Technica ATN95E stylus will fit perfectly and to preserve the original appearance,the plastic "wings" can be clipped off. V... | |
| Vintage Infinity speakers with emit tweeters.... I have a pair of Infinity RS7's which are 3 way with anemit, mid-range with Butyl ring and 8 inch woofers withfoam. I just had the woofers professionally refoamed @$30 each. The ribbon tweeters really "soar" and seem tohave no top end. Base is not... | |
| Review: Grado Prestige Black P-Mount Cartridge The same Grado stylus fits the P mount as the Standard Mount. I have both cartridge bodies and can alternate the stylus, i.e. Blue, Red, Silver,Gold between either the Pmounted TT or the standard mount TT so a separatestylus is unnecessary for eac... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik As an Alternative to the EDR9, I just purchased ten (10)NOS Empire A22ME's which will arrive in a few days. I'mlisting some for sale on Audiogon but want to compare thedifferences between this unit and the EDR9. After breakin,the A22ME has amazing... | |
| replacement cartridge for Denon DP 45-F Don't believe a Pmount will work on your TT unless you usean adaptor. You can get various AT units on Ebay for $20+that will include a pmount adaptor.(At means Audio Techica.) A Denon 110 or 160 will work quite well with your turntable. Again, loo... | |
| Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1? I own a TD190 and just sold my MMF5 after buying a usedREGA P3/2000. The Rega is definitly the best sound withthe same cartridge used on all 3 units. I know that fromactual experience. I'm sure the P2 would provide a similarsound, particularly wit... | |
| low tracking force cartridge recommendations? While I agree with Mark on the Shure, a Shure M91 or M95 will sound similar to the V15 III (though without the IIIsuspension) and can be had for $25 or so on ebay. The Dual 1000 series is pretty long in the tooth and very hardto get parts for. Mov... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I followed most of the threads about the EDR9 and my experience does not quite agree. The French source did not show up and after a month he gave me a refund.( Two weeks later it showed up and I paid him) I mounted it on an MMF5, Thorens 190, and ... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge Follow up to HDM 5/15, I just retipped by Clearaudio AurumBeta S with an AT95E stylus with amazing results! Clip offthe wings and you can't hardly tell except for the color ofthe sylus plug. I'm sure a 4 x 7 stylus may not equal the original S but... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge The Pearl has a .2 x .8 bonded elliptical stylus. The 201 has a .3 x .7 elliptical stylus. Peering closely with the naked eye and a magnifying glass, it does appearthe 201 stylus pierces the stylus shaft which would normally qualify it as a "nude"... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge It does appear that the 201 is similar to the Pearl. Thenmy remarks should be considered a supplement to the other review of 5-9 on the Pearl. . I still find it an outstanding cartridge. Some have called it bright. I believe "strong" might be a be... |
