| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Is the HE referring to hyper elliptical stylus btw ?I think you might be right.....I thought the ML could stand for 'MicroLine'...but the specs call it hyper-elliptical.Imagine back then....we had the technology to produce, not only solid berylliu... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The first Shure cartridge I owned, was the little known ML140HE. recommended by a US audio buddy.....In what was a cheap and unassuming plastic body....Shure had armed the ML140HE with a nude Line-Contact stylus on a THIN WALLED HOLLOW BERYLLIUM C... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Strangely enough.....in the reality of my listening room....the "unabashed ear-candy" of Julio Iglesias immediately revealed the differences between the two cartridges.And not in a subtle way......The Palladian doubled the 'air envelope' within my... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 What a bummer......💩YouTube advised me that due to copyright issues it was blocked in some countries but normally it lists the countries.This time it didn't......And I'm sure you would have like it Frogman.....Final movement of Copland/Dance Symph... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Unabashed ear-candyHaha....soooo right 🥳Thanks again for the wonderfully detailed commentary Frogman.I won't comment until you hear a 'proper' test...🧐Personally, I would love to hear the two cartridges playing something like the Stravinsky “Fireb... | |
| JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage? I had the MC-L1000 Chak....and it was a STUNNING CARTRIDGE 😘Amazing concept of the COILS NEAR THE STYLUS gave sound that was unlike any other cartridge I have experienced.The midrange and particularly the HIGHS were stunning and close to ethereal ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The inevitable 'Shootout'.......The music and performer may be 'corny' to some, but the recording on this album does some extraordinary things in my Living Room which the video comes nowhere near conveying...☹️The sound has incredible depth and he... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 You’re welcome Harold.I think you’re probably right, except it’s a ‘hollow’ tube....and I don’t recall seeing a hollow boron tube before?The cartridges in the shoot-out above are NOT F-9 Graces.They are F-8 Level II....Different animals altogether... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I agree with you Frogman....And it's something I didn't expect as I generally prefer beryllium cantilevers...🤔And my apologies for messing up the cartridge names....Of course they are the GRACE LEVEL II/Beryllium and GRACE LEVEL II/Ruby.Not SHURES... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Could you tell which one is lighter or darker in colour ? Is boron darker ?Hi Harold,The Glanz MFG-610LX is darker than most of my Beryllium cantilevers....but not as dark as most of my Boron ones 🧐So I don't think colour (in this case) is an infa... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I am a bit confused by your comment. First, I will point out that I did not say “current” MC’s. But you did call the sound of the FR-7f and 7fz "dated"......Imo, excellent modern MC cartridges, the Palladian in particular and as heard in your comp... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks Frogman, for amplifying (😜) your use of the word "dated" relating in particular, to MC cartridges.....It is here, where I believe we diverge significantly in our preferences and I believe you highlighted in an earlier Post, that your all-tu... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 - 7f is fuller sounding- 7f is slightly more “refined” sounding That's what I hear....🤗For me, more so with the 7f and while both sound very good they both sound “dated”. Interesting Frogman. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "dated"?un... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Most audiophiles never have the opportunity to hear the legendary Fidelity Research LOMC cartridges comprising the FR-7 Series.Here's what Jonathan Carr says:-Here you can see just how huge the magnet structure is, and if you understand cartridge ... |
