Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
That's good to hear Sarcher30. I have seen those 207C's. I did not know that the 205C SAS or for that matter, the regular 205C stylus would work in one of them.

Dgarretson, My VK-10SE started out as the VK-10. I've had it a long time. I agree with you that I also did not care for the original SUT's in the VK-10. The last trip to BAT for upgrades, replace them with the Lundahl SUT's. They are using the the...

Fleib,No, I am only using the M/M portion of the BAT. There are several gain stages in the BAT. You have to ingage the Lundahl's SUT through the use of dip switches. I have max. 60 db's of gain from the BAT if I stay only in the M/M portion of the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Fleib, This comment about line stage, or pre-amp 'gain' is something most people do not think about. I have for years, been using a 'passive' pre-amp. These lack in the gain department. I never paid much attention to what the amount of gain that t...

Sarcher30,It appears that you also have caught the SAS bug! (grin) Next you need to get one of those cheap A&R Cambridge P77 bodies and place upon it the SAS Stylus 1. Better yet, if you own a Garrott Bros. P77, this same SAS Stylus 1 will als...

Lewm, There are a few M/C's that I 'also' would not sell. That Ortofon being one of them. It's so good that I own two of them. The only cartridge that I feel might out shine the Ortofon is my ART 9. My Einstein Barco TU-3 would also have to be cou...

Sarcher30 Congratulations! For about $170 + shipping, you are going to wind up with a cartridge that is damn tough to beat! I look at some of my multi-thousand dollar M/C's and wonder if I should just go ahead and sell them. This is because the Z-...

Abrew19 Do 'not' ignore it. Read it! You will find far more valuable information that you would ever think possible. You might even learn something in the process. Why go through life waiting for someone else to tell you what to do or what to buy.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Abrew19, You obviously have not read the 235 pages because in doing so, you would understand just how much information is 'in' those 235 pages. Think of it as an Encyclopedia of knowledge. Should we discard the Encyclopedia because there are 'to...

Fleib, The Professor has returned my Z-1/SAS and I will package it up today. I will have it in the mail on Monday for you listening pleasure! (grin)Best regards,

High End cartridges and the built quality
Those are some great pictures. We all strive and look for perfection in not only what we do but also in what we buy. But nothing is perfect. I'm not saying the pictures of the styli orientations are acceptable. But I do wonder just what is 'accept...

And you wonder why different people have different opinions about the same cartridge! Now ya know! 
SOTA I-clamp vs Reflex clamp
One of the biggest mistakes I have made in audio is selling my SOTA Reflex Clamp. It is by far, the best clamp on the market for non-threaded spindles. If it were not for my VPI Aries being a threaded spindle type, I'd buy another but this time I ...

Hi Pryso,I just received back a Sony XL-55 in need of suspension tweaking. It was returned stating he didn't do suspension work unless it was something related to cantilever replacement adjustments. I felt that his reply made it pretty clear!Regards,
