| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Actually, I take back my "touche'". I had not only the appearance of the Arche to go on but also the knowledge that DT likes/liked the Orsonic. Thus how could I not conclude that the Orsonic at least influenced the design of the Arche. Further, tw... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Touche', Nikola. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, I am afraid it was I who promulgated the Orsonic/Arche analogy. On the Arche thread I stated that I had been offered the opportunity to be an "early adopter", but I held off purchase of the Arche, because others on this thread, includ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thuchan, Is that the ceramic headshell supplied by SAEC? If so, I have second-hand information that it is not so good (meaning I have never heard it myself, but I do trust my source). Kenwood offered an optional ceramic platter mat for the L0... | |
| Get Stoned Stringreen, I respect your opinion based on the totality of your contributions here, which is why I asked to know more about the Terrastones. Skepticism is usually not inappropriate in this hobby, but because you like the Terrastones, I would make... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I and all my friends preferred Veronica. Archie was a shmuck.Timel, bluetack is all I've come up with so far. But I fear it would add too much mass to the cartridge body. "Self-adhesive drawer bumpers"; does McMaster-Carr sell those?Is it true tha... | |
| Get Stoned As for me, I do think footers can make a difference to sonics, especially as regards turntables, maybe not so much as regards something like an SDS, but I am just wondering specifically about the Terrastones. For example, there are dozens of varia... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Exactly!!! You got it. Plus pixie dust.Actually, it's probably easier and smarter to buy an M series Acutex rather than to mess with the LPM. | |
| Get Stoned What are Terrastones, and why would they make any difference vs some other footer of similar type? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think (note: "think") that the major difference between LPM and M that could account for the difference in sonics (unless they have very different engines, which is not the case as far as I know) is structural rigidity. The M structure may bette... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, Where does that place the LPM320STRIII, a long-noser of the 320 series? That's the only Acutex with which I am familiar. I own a used M312 (flat nose 3XX series) in unknown condition and have had thoughts of upgrading its stylus assembly, an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Diatribes are bad enough, but these vitriolic diatribes are simply too much. Let's stick to diatribes and cut the vitriole.On another thread was written, "the 420STR does/did for me what no other cartridge, MM or MC, has ever done" (or words to th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Wow!And that's all I have to say about that.Dear Zaphod, I am sorry if it seems I meant to jump down your throat regarding your statement on the preferences of Japanese audiophiles. In truth, I was just making conversation. I can tell from your re... | |
| Why so low? At some point in my life, I decided that I had had enough Lincoln Mayorga.Harry James was at the end of his career when that LP was made, but I am sure it has better musical content than did the typical Sheffield. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Japanese were at the core of the MC "revolution" back in the 80s, with Supex, early Koetsu, etc. In my recent visits to Tokyo, I see/saw no evidence to support the notion that they prefer MM. However, it might be fair to say that some of the v... |
