| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hey Tom,You get instant double posts, my single posts take 2 days. Go figure?Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,**Other consideration here is that my HZ runs with the Pickering XSV 5000 MK2 stylus replacement that between other things fits ( stay in place with out loose. ) better than the original one.**Richard Steinfeld (the author of the Handbook for... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Fleib,Neutrally rich. Yes, that I would agree with in describing either of the two cartridges.Neutrally rich, I like that!Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,How could I have thought that you think I am "wrong" in my opinion when I know I'm right. (grin)How exactly would you describe your LZ? Not bright, well then perhaps dull?, Leaning towards neutral? Leaning from where? Bright? Dull? There is n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,We are splitting hairs in our description of the two 981's. My comment did not state it sounds bright. I said "ever so slightly bright", and this was only after listening to a steady diet of M/M's for days at a time. It is not a bright soundi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Stltrains,"Has any of you tried the new Garrott P77i micro scanner."I would also like to hear from someone with knowledge about this stylus. I do have on my P77 a Jico SAS1 stylus and concider it something special, I have heard it said that it bet... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,As you are aware, I also have both the LZ and HZ 981's. I have spent hours swapping them back and forth trying to determine why "if at all", one could be preferred over the other. The comment you made, "tiny, tiny, hair", can not be stated mo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Professor,Andy will take good care of the "TK7LCa". I intend dropping in on him this spring for a visit. Early M/C trip (Motorcycle not Moving Coil)! We're only a couple of hundred miles apart so for me (as well as it should be for you), a much... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3 & Comrade Nikola,I only have spec. sheets for my LZS. I bought the HZS used and it didn't come with anything but the stylus guard!From my Stanton Cartridge Specifications page, Tracking range---.75-1.5Channel seperation 35dbDC Resistanc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tom,"Just a thought." Yea, and a very good one!Thanks to both you and Fleib. I'm not interested in having someone else change the Virtuoso. I wanted to do this myself. Yea, a fool and his money are soon parted but sometimes that's how we learn. As... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Fleib,I don't mean to be a pest over this. This angle difference must be far greater than I have been mentally picturing it.You still have given me additional options with your previous sugestions. Thanks again, over and out!Best of Regards... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,If the slight difference in cantilever angle was quantified, lets say 2 degrees positive, could you instead of bending the cantilever, just place a thin, very thin tapered wedge on top of the cartridge body at installation to the tone arm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Acman3 and Balkin comrade!Never heard of the Th 981? Surprised at amount of difference between the your 2 cartridges numbers! I didn't know/realize actual readings could be "that" amount of difference. Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? On the usaudiomart.com web site there is a Virtuoso Wood with a slightly bend stylus for sale. Concidering how easy and cheap ($33), to actually get a replacement stylus, the asking price of $250 seems down right cheap. If I didn't already own 2, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,LPGear is in my understanding, the US distributor for Jico. Do you think Jico grades their stylus (grade 1,2,3,), then ships to LPGear? They (LPGear),then distributes to say TurntableNeedles and others, keeping the grades 1 for their own ... |
