| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,One thing I forgot to mention is the channel separation. It's not just their advertiseing hype but something you can readily hear. Might just be the best separation I've heard from a cartridge. It's starting to get a little rough sounding. Br... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel and Raul,You were right Timeltel, I should have ordered 2 of the Acutex 420's. I just got off of the Italian site and ordered another.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I've got a 103R that I recently returned to my system for a breif listen. After a steady diet of good MM/MI cartridges, the 103R was a susprise. It's very clean sounding and quite (no surface noise), but there is a lot of music missing. It... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Stltrains,I have both versions. It wasn't by choice. I did not even know there were 2 versions until this thread.

| Upgrade my CD player or buy a DAC? The answer to your question is a no brainer. Go with the seperate DAC! If I were you, I would save a little bit longer and get a used (from this site), Benchmark DAC. It will be the best investment you have ever made. Read the reviews. Class A in ... | |
