| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frankensteins (cartridges) only a joke ? I doubt that. Frank Einstein may very well have been a very intelligent man and must have been a close relative, a cousin maybe to Albert Einstein. Where can I buy these carts designed by Frank Einstein ? | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don, Yes I understand the material itself is not toxic, I was just joking.Btw, Johnny Winter´s voice and guitar sound is very raw on Trans-Fi/Reso-Mat/direct drim drive Delphi. This combination reveals this very aggressive, like live sound that... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1, My AT20SLA has an ATN20SS stylus with beryllium cantilever, so I have a hybrid AT20SS and it´s superb performer. But you must be careful when ordering a beryllium ATN20SS because there are also aftermarket stylii that does not have a beryl... | |
| setting VTF with a digital guage Definitely at the playing surface, otherwise incorrect measurement ! Nearly all digital gauges measure at too much high level, so you need to measure without record. | |
| Should I retip a Shinon red, or replace it? $350 Hi Pryso,Yes very optimistic.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Nandric, Tell Kuzma my apologies but he got me wrong: I have nothing against his stiff plastic belt drive. On the contrary, stiff plastic is completely different than flexible rubber a´la Thorens, Oracle etc. Stabi Reference´s drive method c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Dentdog, Firstly forget rubber belt drives as they can´t maintain constant speed: the stability of platter´s rotation is the MOST important thing. If you have a limited budget I suggest a Japanese direct drive from the golden age late 1970... | |
