Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Professor and Raul,Sorry to give the impression that my phono-stage is 'down'.........I was merely sympathising with the Professor's frustrations at his system sounding poorly from time to time?My Halcro preamp is working perfectly......howev...

There are other sessions when the components seem to not want to have anything to do with each other.Greetings Professor,I know what you mean and I sympathise.This last week.....for the first time in a year....my phono-stage has been destroyed by... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Dear Nikola,I am so convinced by the advantages and flexibility of removable headshells......that only the Copperhead (out if my six tonearms)......does not have this feature.I notice that the new DaVinci Vertu tonearm now features a removable hea... 
Ozzy members who do you use for shipping OS
Another vote for DHL........although it's hard for a private indivual to get anything out of them without having an Account?If you go to your local Pack & Send......they will be able to get a reasonable price from them to anywhere in the world...

Thanks In_shore.In regard to your 'lost' channel.......I also had exactly such a problem with one of my FR-S4 headshells.After storing it for some time with a mounted cartridge.......the right channel went missing on re-insertion.I thought it was ...

Hi Don,As Nikola says.......the 'intruder'....or 'troll'.....turned our thread into personal attacks on one or more people we know.They were inappropriate and offensive posts which have since been notable by their absence. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Just heard back from the Moderators.Apparently it was not I who was being 'moderated'..........but the whole MM Thread thanks to the appearance of an 'intruder' a few weeks ago?I guess we can be thankful that they 'monitor' the thread....rather th...

Thanks Audpulse.I agree that the paint over the Halcro DM10 circuit boards affords protection against possible corrosion...as well as helping with damping as you point out?Just makes for difficulty in others being able to work on the electronics i...

If form follows function, then I think the ML140HE is one of the most beautiful cartridges I've ever seen!This is a clear case of BEAUTY being in the eyes of the beholder? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Professor (Timeltel),Thanks for the wonderful information on the Shure cartridges.Interesting comment about the ML140HE being fussy about arm matching?In my system.....it loses all its magic in both my SAEC arms whilst revelling in the high-m...

Now that THAT post appears to have 'slipped ' through......the Shure ML140HE is a real contender.Trouble is.....it's as scarce as the Signet TK-7LCa according to the Professor.

I also tried posting 24 hours ago suggesting a Shure cartridge to Thuchan......but that one has disappeared into the ether after being 'held' by the Moderators?Land of the Free indeed? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Thuchan,The Shure ML140HE is a true contender.......if you can ever find one?They may be scarcer than the Signet TK-7CLa models......or so the Professor thinks?

And now suddenly.....I am up for 'Moderator Approval'?Ohhh how the mighty have fallen?! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
It's interesting that Don and Fleib reintroduce the Clearaudio Virtuoso into the discussion?After Raul proclaiming it the COTM (cartridge of the month) a while ago....I found a cheap used example (black) in Tokyo (HiFiDo) and sent it to Axel for a...
