| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Comrade,Three battles on eBay! You live a very full (if not precarious), life. Hope all ends well.I wish we could edit this forum. In my post to you I listed the wrong serial # for the Ruby 3 (yours). I have several numbers scribbled on note ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,There is a Ruby 3 with a FG-3 stylus listed on Audiogon with serial #151596. That is 6 digits. Mine is only 5 digits,#22258. I don't know what number the FG-S serial #'s started with, but I do know that mine is a very early one. What is th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Comrade,I agree with Dover's NorthWest Analog repair option. I think he would be someone to give serious concideration too. Sounds like your cartridge has a problem that someone with extra time available to do complicated internal repairs is what ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,It never ceased to amaze me how the entire Digital industry kept shooting themselves in the foot. Instead of promoting the format, they continue to try and protect their tiny portion of it to the determents of the rest! There would be no d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,You truly are a gentleman. Thank you for the narrative of Axel's video. Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree,You will enjoy the SAS-1 from the 1st note that comes out of your speakers. Break-in was nearly nonexistent. $160! You have one hell of a bargain.Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro,Perhaps someone (Comrade Nickola), could give us the Readers Digest version of what is being said and perhaps how this video came about? I had a mental image of Axel, hunched over, slaving in some dark dingy closet replacing stylus's. Video... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Link to a short video of "Axel" performing some of his cartridge repairs!http://www.wdr.de/mediathek/html/regional/2012/10/23/lokalzeit-suedwestfalen-tonkoepfe.xmlRegards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes Dear Comrade,The Aussie's did tweak the A&R's. Some slight internal tweaks but mostly the stylus was improved. Concedering the leap the SAS-1 made on the already improved stylus on my Aussie version, the impovements should be even greater ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree,Conceder yourself lucky. I'm sure you must of got that (body only), rather cheap. For another approximately $100, you are going to have a cartridge that will be as good as, and in most cases, better than just about every cartridge that ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,If this fuse comparision (cutting them in half and comparing them from the inside), happens, make sure you use the lastest batch of fuses from Acme. He has recently made changes to the coating of the fuse and has gotten great feedback from so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,The fuses that are in our gear, put there by whom ever built the gear, can be bought at any auto parts store here in the US. It's a sad fact but true! They are nothing special, just fuses. You can buy a 5 pack for $1.50. Considered th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,Have you assumed (incorrectly), that I am running my equipment with fuses bought from some auto parts store? I did a fuse comparison several years ago. Because of the ridicules prices I only upgraded certain fuses in my system. The pr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewn,Thanks for the tip on Acme Audio Labs. Michael Brinkman was a real gentleman to deal with. Ordered 15 fuses and should have them by Monday. Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Lewm,Axel, sometime in mid September, did the nude Shibata/Beryllium cantilever replacement on my Goldring G800 for 273 euro's. I'm going to assume that prices must vary from different vendors or materials. Perhaps prices are lower on old... |
