| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just realized that Victor X-1IIE has titanium cantilever, not sure if the information is correct, but here you read more. I thought it's beryllium, but if the X-1IIE (Orange, Elliptical) has a titanium cantilever, the only Berylluim one is the X... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you Chakster for those specs.Anyone who truly believes that Victor (in Japan) would have a production line producing two differing versions of the same cartridge and deciding to sell the better-sounding one in Europe alone is delusional.Good... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? A sad story.....😱If you paid via PayPal of course, you are covered and the Seller will refund your money and PayPal should even refund the costs of return postage.Good luck.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jessica,Thanks for the kind words 😎Glad I inspired you to get the Victor....I really admire the ethos that this company built, not just in its turntables, but everything related to analogue....tonearms, cartridges, platter mats. A pity those da... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jessica,There's more to a cartridge than 'frequency response'...whether 'flat' or otherwise.I've seen the Frequency Response plots for dozens of cartridges which look quite similar yet the cartridges sound quite dissimilar.....I believe there is a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jessica,Welcome to the Thread....Amongst the modern MM cartridges I own, are the Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood and the Audio Technica AT-150ANV which topped a 'blind' readers' poll between 9 cartridges which Michael Fremer conducted a few year... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,I was interested to see what effects could be heard when only the cantilever material of a cartridge was changed......So when the boron shortage caused Jico to make its SAS cantilever out of sapphire and ruby, I quickly bought a version of e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have the 'cheap' XL-88 Dover....I'm not convinced by 'jewelled' cantilevers (and I've listened to sapphire, ruby and diamond).....The 'cheap' XL-88 has a beryllium cantilever and this is my material of choice any day of the week....👌 | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I also have a NOS Victor X-1IIE and as good as this cartridge is, the Z-1/SAS is possibly even better IMO...😃A great resource for tracking down cartridges I have found (or any other audio item) jtnicolosi, is HiFi Shark ..You can list all the cart... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi jtnicoosi,I have bought and listened to many ’current production’ or ’recent’ MM cartridges and IMHO there is none that can compete with the vintage MMs produced in ’The Golden Age’ of analogue (70s and 80s) 😪There is simply a ’magic’ produced ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Received your PM Misha and sent through the details two days ago but it appears my response didn't get through.Have just sent it through again. Please let me know if you don't receive it...? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chackster,Lew is being fair in his responses and giving you full credit for the subjective evaluations of your cartridges.It is one of the most difficult areas of analogue high-end to equate subjective experiences of phono cartridges.There are so ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? He didn't work on my Victor chakster (I'm in Sydney)....He rebuilt Thuchan's who happens to live in Regensburg.If you decide on this route, let me know and I will try to put you in contact with him....😎 |
