Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
In support of Rauls quote, ****Now, the 103 success IMHO is not because the speric/ conical stylus shape but mainly because its motor. That stylus came with conical stylus because the cartridge belongs to a very restricted consumer price range and...

Hi Tubed1,"a conical styli actually rides deeper in the groove"Ask yourself something. Does additional information reside deeper in the groove? I think it's just more dirt!

Hi Raul,I'm a little confused? Do we now have 2 Axels. One in Germany, and One in England?I think it's the exchange rates that are making the UK prices seem higher. If England had moved to the Euro currency system, I doubt that their would be much...

Hi Timeltel,****the mongrelized TK7SU is sounding extraordinarily good tonight.****I think it was you that once said "I never met a Signet I didn't like." I have come to that same conclusion. It doesn't matter which model, or what type of music yo...

Hi Lewm,++++Does anyone here agree with the notion that a spherical tip is optimum for a stereo cartridge? I have no doubt it is a good way to go for mono.++++I certainly do not agree with the stereo part. The information that is captured by the s...

Hi Timeltel,I was going to make you a deal. You buy the Audio Acoustics 3002 that's killing me sitting their, and I'll buy the *****EPC-102SP offered on Agon, someone please buy it.*****, but I now notice it's not a standard mount! I could not use...

I have done a search of this forum and have not found much of a duscussion in reference to the London Decca cartridges. They seldom if ever show up on Ebay so I assume the owners cherish them and retip when necessary. They seem to have that homema...

Hi Audpulse,From time to time, I go back and reread the previous 5-10 pages of the forum to kind of refresh my memory of the various topics that we are discussing. I ran across the following quote I had made to a reply to a comment that you had ma...

Ecir38,With Raul getting back cartirdges in days from vdH. Others getting theirs back from Axel within 2 weeks. Having ES state 6 weeks for turnaround but then delivering in 6 months, just makes me want to comment and ask "WHY". Orders must have c...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The problem as I see it with all the normal retip services (other than Axel), is that we (the repair my 1 defective cartridge group), are at the bottom of the priority list for repairs. If vdH and others deal with Expert Stylus, and I'm sure they ...

Hi Lewm,Try contacting vdH for a paratrace/sapphire combo and see what he says. It might be a backdoor way of finding out if he does send some if not most out to ES. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Lewm,In June, I was given a, (have cartridge to them by 1st week in Aug.), repair schedule. Their email said 6 week turn around from that date. That would be end of Sept. The cartridge is a Denon 103FL. They are installing the Sapphire cantlive...

Timeltel,I accidently hit the submit instead of preview to edit so I'll continue. I did ask Axel to not replace the cantilever if it needed a new tip. To me, the stylus looked very good under a 75xx scope. I have high hopes for the turtle. The rep...
