| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nicola,My experiences with Apogee were not as positive as yours?My friend had the Apogee Divas which he drove using the big Naim NAP250 amps left over from his tri-amped Linn Isobaric period.To me, the Divas sounded too much like......metal?W... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Whilst I agree that the bottom octaves are important in achieving a realistic presentation.....like you I have also heard 'hundreds' (not thousands) of speakers....but I disagree that almost all ( decent speakers. ) performs very good fr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lew,Yes.....you're right about the Magicos seemingly being in the same 'camp' I appear to be disparaging?......yet its efficiency is quite high, its impedance curve is not difficult, its crossover is first order (I believe).....and it isn't por... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? An addendum to my previous posting........is it just me or do others find the weakest link in audio to be 'speakers'?In over 30 years of listening.......I can count on one hand the speakers I have heard which actually sound convincing?Leaving asid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes Chris.........a lot of work?Do you know what the result was?I can't seem to find this anywhere? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I believe that the 'secret' to approaching the 'dynamics' of 'live' sound.....is the reduction (or elimination) of all possible distortions?In that belief.....I am wholeheartedly with Raul.I generally listen at 90dB or thereabouts.......but can co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? From whence the expression "cloth ears" is likely derived.Heh heh | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, you were, in fact, discussing the quality of the performance. You mentioned how the flute trio sounded "dead and unattractive"; how the NYP's sound was "insipid". Those are all performance traits that don't have much to do with frequency ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? But, good live sound (and certainly, the best live sound) is so superior to the best reproduced sound that it is I that fails to see the argument. There is no way that any audio system can get close to a live sound...period. Anyone who thinks the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogman,I am not commenting in any way on the 'quality' of musical performances......just as those extolling the virtues of the wandering 'minstrel' or 'open window on live instruments' are not?We are simply discussing the supposed 'superiority' o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? When I read that I posted that " I respect all your opinions but IMHO that could not happened and if you heard that was because two factors: or you are near deaf or you know nothing about live music performance level ".Well.....I think this 'glori... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? For whatever reasons (at a certain point I personally stop caring what those reasons are) digital playback does more damage to that sense of visceral than does analog.Well said Frogman.To this day.......I have never heard digital playback which '... | |
| Cardas Clear vs Furutech Lineflux Cardas Clear balanced XLR interconnects made a significant difference to my system. Not sure how much going from single ended to balanced was responsible?Cardas Clear speaker cable did not make such a great difference. | |
| How did this FR-64S sell for $1990? To find an FR-64s complete in its original box with all the templates, tools and in such good condition is rare.The only rarer version is one which has 'SILVER INSIDE CABLE' on both the box AND the tonearm. These ones fetch much more.If your FR-64... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I find myself in agreement with the Professor's 'treatise' on materials and their specific characteristics.I also am firmly in the 'wood' headshell camp.....having never met a 'woodie' I didn't like?Dover.....do you speak from personal experience ... |
