| 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I agree with Nandric re your habit of listing here the interesting cartridges you find on eBay. I know you have only the best intentions, but what you are doing is quite likely to raise the cost for any one of us who may want to post a b... | |

I cannot imagine a good outcome from DIY straightening. That is a job for a pro, who in fa... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Knowledge is power. Educate yourself on basic electronics, and you will no longer be naive or subject to the foolish rhetoric of audio advertising or hyped up reviews in magazines. | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Jaspert, I don't think that should be so. One of the functions of the motor controller itself is to protect the tt motor from poor quality mains supply, including ideally AC voltage instability. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL I have heard the ZH270s on many occasions over a period of more than a decade, in my friend's system. He has a pair strapped for mono, driving a pair of large Acoustats. They are wonderful, bullet-proof amplifiers. However, to my ears they do not ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Dear Vertigo,If you wait for a scientific definition of perfection, when it comes to vinyl reproduction, and even when it comes to digital, you will be standing by the side of the road forever. Most of what you wrote is true; but there is still a ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi Albert,You can see a photo of my SP10 Mk3 slate and hardwood combination plinth on my system site. The wood base is made of solid cherry and baltic birch. Underneath I have mounted a brass block, recessed into the wood base and dead center unde... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Dear Vertigo,Some days it hardly pays to get out of bed.But I don't think the situation is as hopeless as you paint it, in terms of predicting outcomes. I find that if a "system" (using your definition of the term) affects the sound a certain way ... |
