| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rome is nice city but I prefer listen to COLOSSEUM LIVE (Bronze Records, 1971) fantastic live recording and one of the very best from the Golden Age of Rock, lots of virtuoso playing/soloing and singing/quite incredible yodeling, very enjoyable wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Morning Raul, Thanks for advice, I just couldn´t resist to grab that bargain for £124 ! I gladly say YES to JVC´s flagship cart with Shibata/beryllium, rf. 20 - 60 kHz, 35 cu.The most interesting thing will be to compare it to it´s "big cousin" th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Professors and fans, Is the Grace F-9U on the top of the F-9 series, the stylus is Microline, what´s the original cantilever ? | |
| Digital microscope recommendations Fleib, Thank you very much for your informative review. I also found that 2MP USB scopes really can´t see micrometers, and it´s even almost impossible to see a sharp pic of a stylus at 200X because the pixels themselves become visible. Depth of fi... | |
| Trans Fi Terminator T3Pro - which cartridge Hi Sgunther,I´ve been a very happy owner of the SHURE ULTRA 500 for 23 years, and been running my ORACLE DELPHI MKII.7 since 1996. Vic the Magician made me a direct rim drive especially for my DELPHI using the SALVATION motor. This works brilliant... | |
| Anybody specialize in older SHure carts? The Shure Ultra 500 is one of the very finest carts. I have had it for decades and lived happily ever since. To surpass it especially in musicality is a very hard task to a any HQ cart IMHO. Of course it´s also a superb tracker. It fits best a ver... | |
| SME III Tonearm: Classic or Dinosaur? A true classic, the very best SME ever made and one of the very finest pivot arms on the planet IMHO.Totally agree that SME went a wrong way after it.I bought one in 1987 to fit my very compliant Shure V15V-MR. I couldn´t find better arm on the ma... | |
| SME III arm wand rewire More than twenty years ago I asked my hi-fi specialist to rewire my SME III to silver MCS-300 by Van den Hul.The silver wires go straight from headshell to Tiffany RCAs, total lenght 120 cm. As silver is relatively stiff adjusting anti skating bec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David, Fantastic news from ACUTEX M320 III STR ! I´m happy it found good home and best possible arm. Raul recommended it and I had the feeling that it fits the arm just fine.Glad you´re enjoying. Meanwhile I´ll keep on searching for another...Cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, All right but now I´m confused. I came back to AudigoN after years of silence, so I may have missed this ? Reading your thread was the most interesting thing in the net for a long time, alongside Vic´s Reso-Mat that I bought last winter... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David, Great we are finally in the business, ha-haa !The ideas & implementations of Vic the Magician are brilliant as we have experienced over the years.Hmm, I think his designs are "not unorthodox, they are beautiful". Kind of a quote from Ji... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor, I would also like to see that performance too but I´m afraid I´m too lazy to do it with my deck ! I´m addicted in hearing my various records now. In the future perhas... You could try to persuade your friend to lend his TERMINATOR,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Porto, I also used to try to find optional "slope" between manifold and record, but I had serious tracking problems with some records, while with others none. So it is a wrong way, there is no optional slope att all. Manifold and platter mus... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Porto, Welcome to The TERMINATOR World !I´ve been running The TERMINATOR 3Pro for 2.5 years, and I bought The Tomahawk wand just a few weeks ago. Your Infinity Black Widow has a 3 gram wand and my SME III has 4.5 gram wand. They are quite similar,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, Glad to hear your AT20SS is not peaky and it is at the same time very alive, that´s very promising. You are quite right, there´s something wrong with my stylus, very likely it is not a Shibata at all. I take your advice and will buy a new... |
