| 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? Help! I am prisoner in a Gulag.Do not ask the Moderator a question.It could go badly for you as it has for me.Please send refreshments. | |
| 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Obviously, I hope, I was joking with In-shore who accidentally posted the same post 3 consecutive times. Each "Not I" was a response to each of those 3 posts. Just trying to inject a little levity. After all, this topic is not so serious to begin ... | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? I am not saying any of these are "perfect":Koetsu Urushi (Haven't listened to mine in about a year; others laugh at me for liking it.)Ortofon MC7500 (a bit on the dry side)Stanton 980LZSGrace RubyI know for sure there are better ones out there. No... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Not I.Not I.Not I.Sorry. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is where I admit that before I knew any better, I tested the internal resistance of my Koetsu Urushi using a very cheap-ish meter handed to me by an audio salesman in Tokyo. I had ordered the cartridge from this dealer so its delivery would c... | |
| Review: ZYX UNIverse II Cartridge Having recently and repeatedly listened to a ZYX UNIverse (the original) in a system using a tonearm, turntable, and phono stage (Doshi) nearly identical to Doug's, I can say that his verbal description of the sound of that cartridge is near perfe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, You keep talking about "voltage". There is no voltage difference to be measured across the pins of a disconnected cartridge. I would think you are measuring resistance, in ohms. But maybe I am totally out to lunch (not unusual). You may b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Still, not recommended. Specifically, when you use any meter to measure resistance (not voltage), the meter puts out a current in order to sense resistance to flow of current. The current put out by many volt-ohmmeters is sufficient in magnitude t... |
