| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,I ran across this in my file from Victor. This is for our information purposes only. Interesting read."Posted by Victor Khomenko on January 4, 2001 at 12:36:22In Reply to: Is phono cartridge a " balance " device ? If so, why is 99.999% phono ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Lewm, and you to Tom,No disrespect ever taken from either of you. My comments, the "Quasi-balanced" were from an article I read many years ago. I will try to locate, copy, and paste it here. My BAT phono input configuration has both single e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave,That would explain alot! My original VK10 arrived with the dealer display unit, in other words, one of the very 1st units in San Diego, very early production runs. It has been back 3 times for upgrades and is as current as it can be. Never ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Victors remarks, in no way changed my opinion of him. He is a genius in circuit designs and product development. That discussion, that long discussion with him, had to have been 15 maybe more years ago and I have since gotten a better idea w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dentdog,I run the BAT VK-10SE with 60+ different cartridges, including a Maestro and several M/C's. The table is the VPI Aries extended with a Graham 2.2 arm. I have had no compatibility problems with anything I've rotated in and out of my system,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Emperor Fleib,Your latest post has convinced me to take the FrankinFlieb all the way. It will be done with either a MLa or a ML. The ML cantilever auction ends today. If it works well in the CA, I will sent it off to SS. If it doesn't, off will go... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Earlier, you mentioned that you had transplanted a AT152MLP into a AT440 body with loss of dynamics but a gain in detail. Do you feel it was because of the less powerful magnets or something else?I ask because I am really trying to get my he... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Virtuoso/440MLaI have back tracked my play list and I am currently back to ghost of tom joad by the Boss. I hear absolutely no difference between the Maestro and the Virtuoso using the 440MLa as the driving force. Even the pop as the stylus gets l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1,I am going to have to force myself to do the swap!I am sitting here listening to the "FrankinFleib" as I type this. What I have on the table is "the ghost of tom joad by bruce springsteen. I must have listened to this a dozen times since I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Is it possible to have too much dynamics? This combination sounds "alive" now. I'm wondering if additional dynamics would make the entire soundstage sound artificial? Interesting at first listen, but tiring after awhile.I think I will try fo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Maestro with AT440MLa transplant.Let me start off this mini review, with saying this. The stylus that I had mounted in the Maestro is the Level 1 from Sound Smith. A tapered alum alloy cantilever with an elliptical tip. This has been referred to a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,You were quite right. It arrived today. I wanted to say thank you for your kindness before I do anything else. This truly is a gentlemans forum. Now if only Tom could be brought back into the fray, then the circle would be complete.Now, off ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,My dear comrade Nikola, has officially become a transplanter. He is now one of us! I am waiting for the email informing me that he has one morning awaken screaming, "NOOOOOOOO. I HAVE ENTERED THE DARK SIDE"!Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Yes, I meant the housing (plastic holder). Considering all that I would be using is the plug, I've been thinking only in terms of "the plug". The LPGear AT95SE just might be the only game in town. At roughly $50 for a donner plug, well, it k... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1In the last 10 days, I have received 5 styli from 4 different ebay vendors. None of them had the screw. 4 of the 5 were white inside but this just covered up the black injected plastic that was inserted hot to lock the cantilever in place. T... |
