| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Siniy, Thank you for your response. What I wanted to know, specifically, is do you find that the sound of high compliance cartridges, like the MMs and MIs that are the subject of this thread, is improved if you use a light weight headshell vs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Montepilot, for taking the time to write your report. I am sure you did not mean it that way, but I would not grade cartridges based on Patricia Barber's breathing. The ability to detect such sounds would also depend upon the amplification... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy, What is your opinion of these high compliance cartridges in the L07D tonearm? I cannot find information regarding the effective mass of the tonearm itself, but the headshell weighs about 12gm, which is on the high side of average. Have you ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 20 years from now, statistically speaking, my music will emanate from a harp, if you believe in that sort of thing. But perhaps my wife and sons can make a buck selling this stuff.Actually, the cartridges are a drop in the bucket compared to what ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Acman. I just went ahead and bought it. The price was commensurate with your estimate of the cost from the vendor. In fact, I may have bought it from that very same guy. I've definitely got to sell off some of my others. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What is the right price? I saw a few months ago where Raul pointed out that one can still buy one from an internet vendor, but he did say whom. Does anyone know what that business was asking for an NOS 4000DIII? (I assume their supply is kaput.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Under the right circumstances, it only takes 50mA to kill a human. I imagine the body mass of a horse is such that it would take a bit more, maybe 100mA. Still, any amplifier that any of us uses could kill a horse. But basically we are in agreemen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lharasim, I have to admit there was something totally unique and thrilling about the Model 3s I heard, except for that low midrange coloration I may have mentioned above. I am trying to decide what to make of that "problem". It may have been due t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have a "take it or leave it" chance to buy an Empire 4000DIII, NOS. I just recently bought a used Acutex 312III off eBay and then bought an NOS 312STR stylus from Turntableneedles. So if I have the Acutex (and a passle of other of the best MM/MI... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lharasim, How much do you wanna bet that inside the cabinet of every Beveridge ESL is a planar driver? ESLs are planar by nature. That's all I was saying. I have only heard the one pair of Model 3s, and as you can tell, I liked them very much. The... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have long experience with planars, since the early 1970s. Never owned an Apogee, because EXCEPT for the Scintilla, I never liked any of the other models. Plus, they really require a solid state amplifier, and I have never fallen in love with one... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Wjsmax, I agree with your assessment of the potential of the Artemis table. This is the first bit of fresh thinking re belt drive to have hit the market in a long time, and besides being "fresh", it is also "good" thinking about how to reduce "bel... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo But the Bardo-user will be that much closer to knowing the meaning of life. | |
| Brinkmann Bardo Lets not pick on Shane. He is justifiably infatuated with one of the best dd turntables of all time and surely one that is in the hunt for THE best. My only point is that there is more than one way to skin the cat. I have not (yet) heard a P3 in m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Among "planar" speakers, the Apogee (ribbon) and Maggie (quasi-ribbon) are way different from the Acoustat, ML, and Sound Lab (all ESLs), as I am sure you know. Not only do they sound different, but their respective electrical properties are very ... |
