| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tom,This AT color code ranking that you have mentioned, is it in the order that you list? I have been aware of the colors, but did not know the order of rankings.As always, your knowledge and you are sorely missed!Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,"Maybe that should be the Michael Jackson of cantilevers". And then again, maybe that will become the Wrong Way Goldfarb of cantilevers.Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I forgot to ask you about that 152LP/Precept440! What was the outcome. Seems to me that it would be very close to a "real" 550ML! Good or bad? I have parts earmarked for Andy (Needle Clinic), to do just that very transplant but I'm waiting f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Yes, the SS level 3 does wander in and out of my thoughts. I also visited Axels' site to see what his "boron/what ever" would cost. $500. A person could damn near buy 2 AT150MLX's off of eBay for that kind of money. Actually buying 1 and doi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? LewmWhat's that saying, "you better be careful of what you wish for". Screwed!Both needledaddy1 and stereoneedleslady on eBay have generic AT95 replacements. I have asked them both if what they are offering, have the compliance screw. Theirs do no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I did not know "all" 3400 series were pressure fit!That red Sony is the one I bought. Yes, I was hoping for the screw!I'll take you up on your kind offer. I'm dying to get this 440MLa tested in the Maestro. If it works well, I'll order from ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,That AT95e stylus that I was waiting for came today Has the AT insignia on its face. But generic packing say Sony ND138G. Right size plug so probably does work in the AT95e body. But has the damn pressure fit insert. J&R has original AT9... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Flieb,I'm having trouble finding a replacement AT95 family housing that has the compliance screw. They all seem to have the cheap pressure fit insert! Both the AT3400 and the AT3472 has the right size plug but without the screw! There useless with... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,While waiting for the postman to arrive today with the new AT95e housing so that I can do the 440MLa transplant for the Virtuoso or Maestro, I decided to remove that pressure fit insert from the Maestro boron fitted plug to see if the 440MLa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I have removed my 440MLa from its housing and I am waiting for a 95e housing to arrive. I will marry the 2 up and hopefully discover another option for the CA. Keep ya posted!Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Your idea of using the 440ML (higher output), as a transplant to the Maestro is something I have thought about. J&R has them for $129 and they are getting scarce. CA settled on a .6 rise in output when they could have used the already av... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,There is no "In their defense". They charge $600 for that exchange. For what? A stylus anyone can buy off of eBay for less than $25!Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I own 2 Vituoso's. The Black I bought from a seller in Canada and came with the SS level 1 cantilever/stylus. The other is a replacement for the original which was bought many years ago, Both of them came from Musical Surroundings, an offici... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I popped in the SoundSmith Level 1 cantilever/stylus assembly plug to verify that the Maestro was a working generator and it is. I'm a little taken back at just how good this sounds. I need to mount the Virtuoso with the Vital Line stylus in... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, and all the Virtuoso com-padres,I received the $98 Maestro with broken cantilever today and Fleib, you are correct. The opening for the/all cantilevers must be the same size. Even as small as the boron cantilever is, it was still mounted on... |
