| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Fascinating Frogman........You're obviously a musician and your insights are eye-openers for me 👁I really appreciate your time in giving me this kind of 'feedback' 👍I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the other cartridges yet to come....Yes...... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Interesting insights once again Frogman....I'm a little surprised by your thoughts on the Victor's 'lacking' in the frequency extremes as this is not noticeable to me in reality....?For me.....this Joan Armatrading track shows a cartridge's abilit... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I posted about the Victor Z-1 in my first month at Audiokarma(look at the date in the post #8):That's a while ago Theophile......I hope you still have that Victor Z1 cartridge as you won't believe how it sounds with a SAS stylus?There are many mor... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Great shots as always Chakster.....👍Fascinating information on the AT-ML180 OCC....but we have inadvertently uncovered a troubling anomaly as my ML180 OCC is described as having "gold-plated BORON cantilever" 🤪Can you upload your Serial No which m... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Haha....Sorry Slaw......but I didn't consider this a 'contest' 🤼♂️I hoped....but wasn't convinced.....that the tiny, sometimes ephemeral differences between cartridges might be able to be discerned on the videos?I was so excited when I read that ... | |

| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... The story about vintage cartridges making LPs too noisy to play when the Lyra was re-mounted sounds to me like hogwash....Copy that...My a’phile friend destroyed thousands of dollars of great and collectible Albums.Oh sure.....he played what....20... | |
