| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Comrade,So you feel the Akai and the Precept, is like wearing your Armani suit with tennis shoes! One not being designed to go with the other.Please get us posted as to how the Akai performs on your newly acquired TK7SU. Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Comrade,With a very slight trimming of the rear of the 20SLa housing, it will fit the Precept perfectly. When I replaced the 20SLa back onto the 20SLa body, I did not even notice the slight trimming. Well worth the effort to me just to see what th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,The AT12Sa I know for sure was designed for CD4. I bought one back in the 70's when I had a Quad system. I remember it was highly rated at that time. Shibata tip was "the" hot ticket at the time. I actually preferred the Grado F1+ over the 1... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3Would that be a "backdoor" yes? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,"Is the 20SLa beryllium"? For the life of me, I'm not sure? To look at the "20" line you would think so! The 20SL is. The 20SS is. Why wouldn't the 20SLa be? But I can not find anything that would diffidently state that this is true. I've a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,So you are going to make me remount my 20SLa on the Precept!What do you mean that "now it is working fine"? Does it now sound like a 20SS cartridge? If you don't mind me asking, what are your settings? Cap.setting, VTA, T/Force. I'm not que... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,My point was perhaps even they didn't know what the had. They altered the MF-100/200 to improve the Astatic for what state of the art equipment they had back then. Perhaps, the "old" 2500 was inferior to the MF-100/200 in "that" period gear a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I for one, had no ideal what the potential some of the cartridges that are from our past actually was capable of. State of the art back then was far different than it is today. A lot of the cartridges that are currently in my arsenal,I owned ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Nikola and myself both like the Akai RS180 (AT14S), better on the Precept than the PCN550. I intend to run my Precept with (as will Nikola), the Akai, therefore your latest ideal sound very interesting. Please keep me/us posted as to the res... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I meant square post AT, not round post AT! Sorry.Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,Thank you for the thoughtful input. It gives me a lot to think about. You mentioned 2 things that I would like you to try and clarify for me. "slight raising of compliance if you're not using a massive arm. This can be done at time of reb... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I just picked up a Clearaudio Maestro for $98 (eBay). Broken stylus but does have the housing. Not sure if it has the screw or not but that is not important because it's easily obtained. The best I have been ably to gather is that our only t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,I see now that it's a MM and replaces the MC. Listening to records and reading sometimes don't mix. Must be a good cartridge mounted!Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Do I understand you correctly, that this "Babele" is a MC with a removal stylus. And best part of all it takes the (our) AT95 subs? If this is true, I need to put my search engine to work.Regards and thanks,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,When Timeltel posts, everyone pays attention. He truly is is a special person and is sorely miss by several of us. Tom, my next beer is for you!Regards,Don |
