| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, What is the cost of those fuses? Have you compared them to Acme? Have you compared them to "no fuse" (i.e., a silver wire bypassing the fuse holder)? Do you use a contact enhancer, like the Walker SST? Stock fuse-holders?If you could perform... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? Dear Dover, Either I misspoke or you misunderstood my comments about Koetsu Urushi. Prior to the MM/MI odyssey, I was very happy with the Urushi. It was my only cartridge for 4-5 years. I still think the midrange is to die for and that the bass is... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What I meant was, what you wrote was similar to what I wrote. We used very different words, however. I guess you disagreed with me when I said that the tonal composition of sax is more grouped around the fundamental than is that of the human voice... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? Te Kaitora Rua and Karat are two Dynavectors about which I have always been curious. Dover, what do you mean "out of the closet"? Because I listed my Urushi and the MC7500 as among my favorites? I never made a secret of my liking for the Urushi, e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, I agree. Trotsky was a very interesting person, perhaps the most intelligent of the original Bolsheviks. Too bad he lost out to Stalin and the rest. I think he was portrayed also in the movie about the Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Dieg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If you say so. | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? Nandric, Saw your listing of the Phase Tech. Never heard of it. Thought it must be vintage. Went on eBay and found NOS one for sale and also that it is a current product. It looks just like an Air Tight cartridge. Can you give the background?Also,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Trotsky went to Mexico where no doubt he encountered Raul, became a devotee' of phono cartridges, and was subsequently assassinated by Stalin who preferred digital, with a hatchet that was only intended to refresh Trotsky's latest MM cartridge. (I... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree,Don't feel persecuted. I think posts are selected at random to be subjected to moderator approval. It's happened to me, too. (But you might say I deserve it.)If your posts are deleted for no good reason, then you do have a beef. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, To me as an English-only speaker, the term "refresh" conjures up an ice cold glass of lemonade or the beverage of your choice, on a hot day. Or a cold shower on that same day. So perhaps Axel must dip the cartridge in some ice cold lemona... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lespier, My thought too; the sax sounds "louder" (bad word for what I am thinking) than the human voice, in the sense that the human voice (I am speculating) is a more complex entity, comprised of more frequencies above and below the fundamental, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lawrence, You wrote, "I'm going to play the devils advocate here and say Lewm really was saying he preferred the sound of his hifi to having better sound then live!"That is a complete misinterpretation of what I wrote AND what I meant. I mean... | |
| Best Phono Cable for Ortofon MC Anna I roll my own interconnects. but I have had some experience with commercial brands. Somehow, Cardas cables always seem to impart the same coloration, to my ears: a bit slow and a bit "dark" sounding; everything sounds "good", but the music does no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tim, I totally agree with you. While my wife and I were waiting for the show to start, I noticed that the house audio system included a mixer that must have at least 32 channels. I said aloud to my wife, "I wonder why they would need such a huge n... |
