| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro,I agree completely about the original Martin Logan CLS panels and would also add a few Magnepan models of my experience; that occasionally and briefly sounded like the "real thing". It is indeed spooky when it happens and has brought m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,Sorry, I thought you would appreciate the sarcasm in English juxtaposed with the ironic use of a hoary Latin obiter dictum.John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My Dear Nandric,I do not think the situation will improve until these War Re-enactors take their silly costumes and fake weapons to another battlefield. "Si wis pacem para bellum".John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,Nice analogy. What do revisionist historians say about the Maginot line? Was it as boring as this thread has become?John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul et al, Can someone recommend a low gain (MM only) and hopefully low noise, vacuum tube phonostage. Low price, say under $1500, would be good as well.Thanks,John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Perhaps your refined European aesthetic makes you the most qualified to comment on this:http://stylus.export-japan.com/kanade.phpJohn | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric,It fits the G800 perfectly and actually has a Shibata stylus. That's why I bought 2 extra as Back-Up.John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? For Goldring G800 fans.The price is higher and the shipping is no longer free. Word gets out pretty fast. Still a good deal, though; I have bought 3 and am glad to see them still available.http://www.ebay.com/itm/350599487935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,This may not help your dilemma. My F9E purchased new around 1984 has the original rounded stylus assembly and is still mounted on my Phase Linear 8000 TT, which has not spun an LP in almost 25 years (perfect sound forever, you know). Can't s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dgarretson,Are you referring to the M320 LPM, aka "longnose" or the earlier model? Would you mind sharing the cost of the suspension refresh?ThanksJohn | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? hI nANDRIC,mY 'virtual' G800 styli are NOS Astatic replacements made for the G800 SuperE(110ESE). They are available on eBay from time to time and I hope give a little taste of the high end sound of an Axel re-tip. Pretty sure they have a Shibata ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HEADS UP! Goldring G800 fans,I'm sure that a re-tip from Axel is by far the best way to get the highest degree of performance from the G800.However, I have purchased three of these, and am quite enamored with their sound. I think of it as a 'virtu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No they are not. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Messrs.The consensus here seems to be that original OEM styli are by far the best. In regard to aftermarket and generic styli; are some brands and/or makers preferable to others? Obviously they cannot all be the same. Did Astatic make better repla... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Storyboy,Thanks, I was just curious to find a common denominator for the cartridges I prefer. Seems to be mostly IM/Shibata (type) stylus for me. I have found several 'cartridge type' errors on the VE database.John |
