| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 And not to forget perhaps the most famous cartridges of all time.....the Ortofon SPU.In all its guises....even with their new top-of-the-line SPU Century......only aluminium cantilevers 👍 | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Thank you Dover.....'Golden Ears'......👂 | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 It’s impossible via the YouTube Videos to hear the ephemeral nuances that I hear in my room....things like soundstage (side to side and back to back), transparency, imaging, image height etcTry this track.....SONY XL-88 LOMC CARTRIDGESONY XL-88D L... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 It’s understandably difficult to hear the ’nuances’ and ’subtleties’ that a different cantilever material may bring....I couldn’t hear the differences between a SAS-Boron, a NeoSAS-Sapphire and a NeoSAS-Ruby when I did the comparisons a while ago ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 In the other side if you can't directly at your home system hear the distortions developed by that terrible/disastrous S3 headshell how could you think you will listen it from you tube recording. Makes sense to you? because for me is almost a stup... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Will be interesting to see if anyone can hear the differences between the ’Normal’ cantilever and the ’Diamond’.....🧐👂SONY XL-88 LOMC CARTRIDGE SONY XL-88D LOMC CARTRIDGE Diamond Cantilever | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Dear Raul,You are more tolerant or less sensitive to those additional developed distortions than me.We’re all here to learn.....For many many years, we’ve heard about your unique ability to identify and analyse ’distortions’ in the ’Audio Chain’.Y... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 The S3 FR headshell you said is the one used with the 88D is more than the double the weigth than the SAEC one and that over-weigth stays where coul do more harm: where MOI is affected the more.Yes Raul, it astonished me also.....that's why I neve... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I was aware that the Victor is quite a delicate device, but I didn’t realize it was this fragile. Fear not Edgewear, for the MC-L1000 is a robust cartridge without the tiny PCB embedded in the MC-1 or Victor MC-L10.Hopefully, as Raul says....the l... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 BTW, I took my revenge last week, winning an auction for the Victor MC-L1000, another of those classic cartridges I simply must hear. Do you have this and if so, what do you think of it?Congratulations Edgewear 👍Yes...I owned the VICTOR MC-L1000 c... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 The Yahoo Japan auction site looks like a very DANGEROUS place for someone like myself to visit! lol.Uber, it's not for the faint-hearted 😬 but the first 'auction' is the most fearful. After that...with more experience, it becomes easy and excitin... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Thanks Terry,A limited 'Club' at the moment.....but sure to increase if current trends continue 🤔 | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 @best-groove I don't buy ANY 'used' cartridges without good-quality closeup shots of the styli 🧐I don't trust anyone's admission of 'hours-of-use'....🤥I didn't understand this sentence....Haha.....it means if you're really desperate for something ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 @best-groove,you can’t buy a new cartridge that sounds better than the XL88D?In 40 years of owning over 80 cartridges (both vintage and modern)...I can honestly say NO 🤗The STANDARD XL-88 is itself, the best cartridge I’ve heard in my system with ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I've heard Sony XL-55 with Boron cantilever and did not like it at all.The XL-55 and XL-88 are about as DIFFERENT from each other as any cartridges can be 🤗Not only in SIZE and SHAPE....but particularly soundwise.The XL-55 has a distinctly 'colour... |
