| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Tom,Last month I bought a NOS Z-1 stylus assembly. Yes, a Beryllium cantilever with a Shibata tip still in the box and sealed. I paid 2800 Yen. Yes, $24 for a NOS Beryllium cantilever/Shibata combo. These cartridges and styli turn up quite o... | |
| Cartridges in general I have a Micro Acoustic 630MP. I have had several of the various Micro Acoustic cartridges. Their being this 'electric condenser' type is another one of those that also fall in the "What Happened" puzzle! Not about the company itself, but to the d... | |
| interesting phenomena in the cutting room I also think this is a very interesting thread. Ralph, I hope you will continue with this discussion and your findings. It would also be nice if and when you actually have a product to sell, that you provide us with a web address or phone number t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Thanks for the reply. I own a couple of Grado's. A Signature 8 and a G+1/8MZ. I wonder if The Garrott Bros. (Slimline), version would be the same type of rebuild as what they did for the A&R Cambridge P77. In other words, internal tweaki... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,I do not know why I didn't think of you before with this but I guess 'better late than never'.There is a cartridge available on the Japanese auction site that is a creation of the Garrott Bros. I have no idea that they were producing these. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,The Japanese sites are no secret. But much understanding is required to operate within its system. Then you have the exchange rates to deal with because all bidding is done in Yen. Many fees are also involved but the good part is that you ca... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dlaloum,Your information is quite helpful. I see many Sony's for sale on the Japanese sites. Seldom do I see anything that even slightly resembles something that was built by Satin.Actually most of them (the Sony's), look more like Ortofons or the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes Neo,I have been writing (and thinking), in terms of sound quality of the LZ. You have been writing (and thinking), in terms of design. My statement 'replicate a M/C' was referring to 'its sound'. Not its design. The 'nonsense' that I'm writing... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib and David,I would like to readdress the Sony/Satin discussion. Was their, or is their a cross reference guide that would identify which Sony is what Satin? I understand there are several Satin cartridges that are sought after I wonder if ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,There are many forms of a signal. The signal that a M/C generates is an 'electrical' signal. The signal that a M/C receives are in the form of undulations of the record groove. It's still a signal. A stop sign is a signal to stop. Rain is a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Neo,You stated that Stanton made 3 different LZ models.See your own statement. I Quote: "Stanton made 3 different LZ models". In fact, Stanton made 4 models of just the Epoch. The LZ6, LZ7, LZ8 and the LZ9. If we include the 3 your post eludes to,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,The more time I spend with this JVC X1, the more I am convinced it is the best M/M I have ever heard. They'er times, during certain passages, that I just can not stop smiling. It is so smooth and dynamic that it just begs to be listened to. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Neo,The product catalog you state is rather dated! Stanton had an entire line of even higher (TOTL), cartridges after the 981's. They were called the Epoch. I also own one of those. The Epoch II LZ8S. The last Epoch produced and the 'actual' Stant... | |
