| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tom,I am wondering if the following "Frankenstein", that you constructed, "13Ea/beryllium cantilevered 155LC stylus", would also be a viable option for the Precept 220/440?I have the stylus housing and a new 152LP stylus assembly in which I wou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My Dear Comrade,What have I done! I have allowed the pride of my capitalist greed slip through my hands and take up residency in the Balkins. How could I have been so foolish. (grin)Do not worry my dear friend, because if the need arises, I do kno... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I have the AKG P 8ES Super Nova VDh. It is an excellent cartridge and better than a lot of cartridges being used today, but it is not quite at at the level we are currently discussing. It deserves better than just a luke warm response thou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob,There have been 3 cartridges in my life that absolutely stunned me because of their remarkable performance. The 1st was a Nagaoka MP50 Super. A Sapphire tube cantilever with a solid nude shank diamond stylus. The 2nd one was a Goldring G800 t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains,I like how you think. Raul, I do not recall you mentioning the ART-1 much in our cartridge discussions. Is there a reason why it stays out of rotation? I would think a cartridge with a titanium body and a solid diamond cantilever and sty... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just ran across an ad for a Signet AT ART-1. I had completely forgotten about this cartridge. I remember it was highly thought of during its existence with some claiming it was the best cartridge ever produced. Doe anyone have one of these in th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Tim,I forgot you lurk around here from time to time.Yes, It sort of was an inside joke when thing got a little hairy and you are correct. I can hear just as plain as day, Jerry saying just that with that sly grin he had. Those were some good ti... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,Perhaps I'm not grasping a full understanding of the statements presented by JE? But then again, as you made quite clear,"his graph for the MC cartridge assumes a 1M load resistor, i.e., no load. No one does that."He has "created" data to bac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,There is an old saying in engineering that seems to apply with what has been brought forth through JE's comments. It goes like this, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit".Have a great day! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, and Lew, "pissing in the wind"Now there's a graph I would like to see! (grin)Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,Yes, I have read Mr. Ellison's post on Vinyl Asylum. Graphs make great talking points, but I don't listen with graphs! He does make valid points based on the models he has conveniently chosen. I'm sure others could, and have chosen other m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo363,How about just give you the answers to the next test!No testable hypotheses or review of anything required that way! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jmowbray,I am finding that when I remount these after they have been sitting around/stored for awhile, that they need to have some time of playing before the suspension loosens up and settles down before they start to sound their best. I had origi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Quote:"I waited much longer for my XV1. Mine was waiting on a part. It never arrived so Axel made it himself." I find this kind of service, no matter how long it takes, just amazing! The World would be much better place, with more people like Axel... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3, I am still at a loss as to what is meant by "miscommunication" Exactly what "did" happen that created this mess!Regards,Don |
