| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? How does one go about setting up a cartridge that has a skewed cantilever? Do you square up the body, expecting the cantilever to follow when it is place in the groove? Do you square up the cantilever, ignoring the cartridge body position? I would... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Early on in this heated discussion, I began to feel alittle sorry for Nandric. I caught on very early that he really had a problem with what he had. It was not a "Who is right" problem, but a "What is wrong" problem. I was hoping Timeltel ... |
