| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,That store in San Diego, was it perhaps, Stereo Unlimited, owned by my dear friend, Bruce. A lot of my money has filter thru his hands. I was a member of that Audio Guild that met there. I have since retired and moved from San Diego up to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,It seems to me that you have had your Acutex on order for quite some time now. IIRC someone on this thread said he received his in 10 days. Was he somewhere in Europe or here in the US? I've had tubes ordered from Russia that did take 7 weeks... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,++++You may wish you'd ordered two.++++I had concidered ordering 2 originally but knowing that I have more cartridges (with replacement stylus), than I can ever wear out, even if I live to be 100 years old, I decided not to. What I am ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,+++++almost always, agree. I said " almost " because with that LOMC experiences I had the cartridge signal pass through more stages/steps ( gain ones. ) that with a MM/MI cartridge and performs better ?????+++++Yes, Raul, But the question ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,I have not been able to put into words, what it is about my Signet TK 7SU that I like so much. I have alot of highly rated cartridges, alot of them mentioned in this thread that I rotate in and out of my system. The Virtuoso, the AT20SS, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Slabadabada,Recieved shipping information from Italy today. I should be getting mine in about 10 days. Sounds like I'm in for a great susprise. Looking forward to its arrival. Blowing away a Nagaoka is saying that the Acutex really is something sp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,++++Fleibs suggestions are also very interesting. Alsomuch cheaper I would think.++++I neither have good eyes, or steedy hands. I would just be throwing my money away! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Flieb,++++a nude line contact stylus on a tapered aluminum cantilever.++++Thank you Flieb. Exactly what I needed. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,Your a very funny man Nandric. Was that all that you requested from Alex was for him to install a new alum. cantilever with a pressure fit stylus. Was that all? You are more lucky that I thought! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Flieb,Thank you for the explanation. I had not thought about how the plug angle contributed to this. I understand now why you had to try and slightly bend the cantilever. You were trying to compensate for the different body to plug angle. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Flieb,Why are we not replacing the cantilever/stylus on the Aurum Classic MKII? It's $600 cheaper an if I understand correctly, is also the AT95. It seems like what we would wind up with is an improved Virtuoso wood? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Fleib,I do not know what you do for a living but it seems to me that you could be making some money replacing cantilivers assy's into some of our cartridges. At the moment, I thinking about my 'Red' Virtuoso. I find it fascinating at what you d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,Your special 'sound criterion' Virtuso has got me interested in having my older (Red) Virtuoso reworked by Alex. I also have the Black version with the SoundSmith retip. It's the same as Rauls. I understand that your stylus was pressure... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Flieb,++++The plug is the small rectangle that holds the cantilever, like on the bottom of a CA. I found out the hard way that the angle of the cantilever differs from one plug to another, depending on the series.++++I'm I understanding you cor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Nandric,I seem to remember something about someone missing a great buy. I have gone back several pages but have not run across anything by Fleib that mentions this. |
