Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Grbluen2,That 440 went cheap. After bidding ended, I had that sick feeling in my stomach. You know, that one you get when you tell yourself, damn, I should have bid on that. There will be others but the buyer will be paying top price now that Raul... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Comrade Nadric,Axel was buying up the supply of used AKG P8's and rebuilding them, then selling the refurbished cartridges on the web. I got mine from him that way. I had thought that you also had gotten yours from him (rebuilt). I'm having troubl...

Dear Comrade,IIRC, you also have one of Axel's AKG P 8ES Super Nova Vhd's. I don't feel it has taken over the top spot in my arsenal but it definitely runs with the pack. I just replaced the Azden YM P50VL on my table with the AKG and once again, ...

Raul,I know your plate is full but you do need to find time to mount the DTL-4S.Quote from TurntableNeedles.com "• very close to PICKERING NEEDLES D4500S D7500S STEREOHEDRON STEREO HEDRON"It did take a while for the suspension to settle, but I do ...

Raul,There was a MKII available on eBay in need of a stylus just a few weeks back. Knowing there are no stylus's available, I passed. BIG mistake! O'well, be patient, there will be others.Regards,Don

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,I have remounted my AT180 and my TK10MK(?), to decide weather my initial impressions could be confirmed. I think the person who sold you the TK10MK calling it a MKII is because the stylus was upgraded to a MKII. Looking at the screws, there i... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,Thank you for the update on my "TK10ML" It was an honest mistake. Expensive one, but honest mistake non the less. If I ever decide to sell it, It will go as a "MK" only. But I do disagree with your assesment of calling it only "average" perfo...

Nandric, Raul,I have read on other forums that Sound Smith (Peter), is doing great things with what he refers to as a manor rebuild of the Denon 103. It's not cheap but claims to make it a world class contender, bar none!Regards,Don 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,A few weeks back there was a Glanz MFG-71L up for auction on eBay. I came close to bidding on it but because I already have a Astatic MF100 & MF200 I decided to pass. I hope you still have a MF100 in your stash because I really would like... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,I feel tracking distortions (or lack of), is even more important than cantilever/stylus profile. What I wonder about is the fact that your 5000 is not even Pickering's top stylus. There is still the 7500 series. I understand changing cantilev...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,Perhaps you need to address your findings to Richard Steinfeld, the Guru of all that is Pickering/Stanton. I only quoated what he has placed in print. I don't doubt you like your hybred better than a original 881LZS. But you do not have a ori...
