| Best Phono amp under $2000. Rogue Audio - Triton (SS) for $1K and Ares (tubed) for $2K. I own both - I use the Triton for rock and the Ares for jazz/acoustic. I'm very happy with the sound. Both of these have plenty of loading options. | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Halcro - since you guys brought it up, I hope this isn't too far off-topic but having recently acquiring a Signet TK7Ea body, I'm about to find out for myself just how good your TK7*a/ATN155LC combination sounds in my system. I haven't done any co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm - you didn't do that just to be the 11,111th poster, did you?:-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder says: "I want as close to the original technics stylus profile and definately nothing like the Ortofon replicant100 stylus."According to the Vinyl Engine database, the original stylus for this cartridge was elliptical (.2 x .7 IIRC). If ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder - I submit that a SS LC stylus would be an improvement over the elliptical stylus that came with the Technics EPC100mk4. If you wanted to improve this cartridge or just bring it as close as possible to its original state, SS would be the... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Anyone have an extra Signet TK7Ea or TK7LCa body they are not using that they are willing to trade for one of my AT 155LC bodies?Jack | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: regarding revisiting gems from the past, I submit that this is particularly appropriate as we approach the thread's 10,000th post.I plan to mount my YM-P50VL this weekend to see how far I've come (or not) since then. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro: "The No.3 stylus assembly transforms the TK-7Ea into the TK-7SU"Perhaps you meant to say TK-7E rather than TK-7Ea?I also do not believe that Raul's approval or 'blessing' is necessary to enjoy what you like.Agree with you re: Signet cartri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul: I have long since grown weary of the "chase". It's kinda like a dog chasing a car or an old fart like me admiring the beauty of a young woman - I wouldn't know what to do with it if I ever caught it!Seriously, I've experienced a number ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds: Thank you for your observations. While I have not listened to the Precept, I find it difficult to believe it is superior to other top level Signet/AT carts such as the ones you mention. I have long since gotten off of the "cartrid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: my comment was directed to the swishing noises he was experiencing. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dlcockrum: you may be hearing the swishing noise on a not-perfectly centered record because the TK7LCa maybe has a lower compliance than the other carts you mention (the Sonus and ADC are very high compliance carts). You may see better results wit... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? You can get genuine ATN155LC stylii at Stereoneedles.com. Mine came in the original AT packaging. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul et. al., apples and oranges - the difference between Axel and the newly announced Soundsmith service is that SS is now fabricating complete stylus housing assemblies for the F9 cartridge whereas Axel is not. I only hope that SS will continue ... |
