| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for the tip on Soundsmith for an adapter. MM20CL sure looks like a Pmount sitting in its case, to me. Cripes, I haven't looked at the MMC1 in so long, I have forgotten what came with it; perhaps it has an adapter included. Mine is in origin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timel, Reading your excellent description of the sound of the MMC4, I got an eery feeling for the sound of those vintage straight-line B&O tts with B&O cartridges. (I have no idea what cartridges I was hearing in those days.) A very p... | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Syntax, Sorry about that. I did notice that you recommended VPI MOTOR plus SDS the first time around (yesterday), but I obviously could not retain such complex information in my pretty little audiophile head whilst composing my last post. Someone ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fact is, I cannot remember what I paid for any of the MM and MI cartridges I bought in the last 2 years or so. It's all a blur. I can ballpark it at best. As in, I paid "a lot" for my NOS B&O MMC1. I paid "a little" for my Acutex. One conclusi... | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Dear Syntax,However, your comment about replacing the Raven controller with the VPI SDS was ill-advised. I am not familiar with any of the Raven turntables, but someone on the other newer "motor controller" thread has remarked that the Raven motor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What? There is sex after marriage? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? By my calculations, Banquo spent a total of nearly $1100 on his listed acquisitions. So it is really up to him to decide, but there does remain the possibility that Thuchan is correct in this instance, especially if one buys a "used" MC off Audiog... | |
| Lenco L75 turntable info? Don't much care for the Lenco tonearm, but the stock tt is shockingly good with a good aftermarket tonearm added. The additional beauty of it is that there is so much more you can do with the stock parts to develop the sound. See Lenco Heaven, for... | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable If Blackburn prefers direct drive, he can't be all bad. | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Dear Blackburn, You might think about changing your moniker to "Heart Burn". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I was going to be done with this thread, but Raul, those two B&O cartridges are being sold by the same person. He has a highly inflated opinion of their value, IMO, whether or not they are "good" sounding. He also is carrying a 94.1% eBay appr... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Robob, "Not much to resonate there". What about the suspension itself? By definition, it resonates at a certain frequency. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I know I am beating a dead horse, but it is one thing to list the cartridges you think are worth auditioning and another thing to cite the eBay auctions. Anyway, I don't really care very much, because my own appetite for vintage MM and ... | |
| Benz LPS Sounds Bad, Very Bad at 45 RPM Might help if you would actually describe the "distortion" you are hearing, as per above. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Atlasiris, I don't know where you live, but you seem to know where I live. In any case, I assure you that there are very fine people where I live, with scruples and good taste equal to yours. Raul and I have now been acquainted electronically... |
