A new King just might be standing in the wings.Why is it that when a new state of the art MC comes out, it's cost is in the thousands of dollars. But a new MM stat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,++++the one where I will " arrive " will be the one that's more accurate++++I'm alittle confused with your statement? Are you saying that you choose measurements over your ears when arriving?Regards,Don | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Has anyone found a stylus replacement source for the Acutex M420STR? From what I understand, this is a boron coated Titanium tapered tube. This isn't something offered by our known repair shops so to have this cart. rebuilt, we would wind u... | |
| I just started listening to my CD player again And your question is? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,++++question is: which one performs near to the music.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HI All,Has anyone noticed that there is a person (Brankopolak), on this site who is selling and has sold some of the Acutex 420STR for $249. He has a listing for a 320IIISTR for $499. I wonder if he's buying them from Italy? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,++++ acclimating to it's "BBC" sound++++Would this be the soundstage that was provided by my Rogers LS3/5a's? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Flieb and Tiemltel,++++I wonder if this spectacular separation comes at the expense of some central image information, leaving a hole in the middle or suck-outs.++++I had this same thought several times during break-in. I even had a period wher... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Stltrains,Dgob said it best. Too hear this cartridge at its best, the break-in "will take perserverance". I also have the 4000D3. You are going to be a happy man! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dgob,Total time on the 420 is 16+ hours. All center fill issues have not just disappeared, but has turned into a rock solid center presentation. A rather odd break-in? I would be quite happy living with this cartridge for the rest of my life. I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Dgob,You might have hit onto something that is puzzleing me about the Acutex 420.This morning I switched over to my floorstanding speaker system from my 3pc. monitor system. It was not that noticable on the monitors but there seems to be a redu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,Is Alex aware of the improvement the pressure fit made to his cart repair? I see this as an opportunity for Alex to perhaps offer something to his customers that other repair facilities havn't offered. I don't know if he needs additiona... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro,++++I believe the Clearaudio Virtuoso has the edge on the Acutex 420.++++At this point in time, I'm leaning towards your opinion on this comparision. Imaging is something I value as #1 priority when I audition cartridges. The Acutex imag... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Timeltel, you were 100% correct. I did add longer screws to increase the tracking weight. I started at 1.9 grams and was quite disapointed. Sound became muddy/distorted. I'm back to 1.4 grams and working my way down. If I can get it under t... |
