| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I truly hope you are successful with your "friend price" talks to your fellow German. You surely deserve it after the investments you've made in unusable AKG stylus's for your cartridge. Perhaps some kind of "trade" could be worked out.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I think I need to correct my last post to you. The translated version (Bing), of Axels ad of the AKG P8ES Super Nova VDH uses the word "Shibata diamond needle. The stylus guard in the picture uses the words VDHIIS. No mention of Gyger a... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I have a different cartridge that also happens to have the Gyger II stylus. That one cost me $3500. This one, the P 8 ES Super Nova VDH will only be $216. Will this VDH sound equal to, better than, not as good as. For nearly 15 times le... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, Timeltel, and NandricTimeltel, I think you are correct in your answer to the problem Nandric is having. Someone has identified his stylus's incorrectly. Not visually but physically. I wonder it his 4 stylus's are even AKG's? Perhaps he co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,"Available as the P8ES with nude mounted elliptical stylus assembly model XHS, or the P8E with X8E stylus"The above quote is from your vinylengine link. It states your P8E has a X8E stylus. The P8ES has a XHS stylus. You and Timeltel have ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,Of all that has been said in the last few days pertaining to the AKG P8 line of cartridges, you are the only person to mention a X8S stylus? I do not want to assume anything with this line of cartridges so please tell me which cartridg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul and Cashcamp,Well, you two certainly belong to a very limited group of owners. You are both quite fortunate!Raul, +++"my ES stylus fit the 8E cartridge body"+++IIRC, you have the AKG P8 family. Can I assume from your above quote that it no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric and Raul,I very much appriciate all the imput in regard to the AKG cartridges. I do want to experience a working AKG so I settled on Axels reworked version.I have concidered buying the stylus that is listed on the William Thakker site (... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,++++"The P8 --VdH is a P25 with VdH stylus"++++Your above quote kind of caught my by susprise! Why was it not called the P25 VdH? As you have stated previously, this is a rather confusing cartridge brand as far as nomenclature!BTW. Their a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nadric,Am I understanding you correctly? The "> $200 for the retip" is what your "pressurefitted nude line diamond in a tapered aluminum cantilever" would cost? If this is true, then someone bought your AKG for less than $100 could wind up w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,++++"I regretted having done so, because I really do not need it. Today, I won the darn thing for my low offer. I fully expected to be outbid at the last minute, but no such luck."++++ I had to chuckle when I read this. Been there, done th... |
