Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Think about 'there is something about Mary' and then further about our list (cataloloque) of demands which 'Mary' need to fulfil in order to make us happy. We may even, despite of all the qualities she may have, also wish her to be modest. When th... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
My gosh! I have the authority of our professor on my side. Not to insult my dear comrade Don I avoided any comment on this whortless Precept 550 stylus which he wanted back while I was allowed to keep the 'Akai'. Because of the name I assume that ... 
Question on FR 66s
Dear Suteetat, The Reed tonearms have different kinds of wood-wands and consequently different eff.mass. Not to mention different lenghts. My 2 A ( 12" ) with Pernambuccowood -wand has the eff. mass of 27 g. and was a perfect match with the low co... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Dear Dgob, I am alas the owner of two 'left hands' so no chance for me to build my own plinth for my SP 10,mk II. My hope is that Vetterone will be intriquied with my Glanz 5 in such a way that he will offer one of his plinths in exchange. He make...

The Precept 220 + Akai RS 180 stylus for the Glanz 31 E + FM 300 stylus (Astatic). The good old swap(s). I exchanged my Glanz for the Precept 220 of my good comrade Don. The Precept sounds impressive; very fast , very dynamic with no accentuation ...

Dear Dgob, I am still waiting for your reaction on my post about the Glanz 71 L and not about my 'philosophy' about 'categories'. I should use the term, uh 'terms' instead. BTW I am not sure if you agree with 'my' categories?Regards, 
Question on FR 66s
Dear Lew, The same reason(ing) caused me to buy the Triplanar VII and Reed 2A with the fast headshells and wire all the way to the pre. My FR-64s where in the box till Henry convinced me to rethink my assumption(s). I am glad I deed and have no re... 
Turntable with stable speed.
Syntax thanks for testing my Kuzma. I am not sure what mysaving is but you deserve one or two Bavarian 'Kanne' of beer.

Dear Pryso, Raul should answer this question but as heexplained in his answer to my post the whole point fromhis perspective is that we can improve our analog systemby comparing it with the newest digital products (DVDA records and players). So th... 
Question on FR 66s
To my knowledge there is just one copy and you can get itfor $ 450 on our own Audiogon market. This copy is nearlyas good as Henry's original but in short supply. You should ask for the 'ordinary grease' instead of this sticky silicon oil or clean... 
My Dynavector DV Karet/Ruby stylus is sideways
Dear Lew, I would like to share your fun but I, alas,don'tunderstand your remark. My assumption is that something waswrong with my English phrasing but if I was aware of thatI would phrase differently. If it is about '+/-' sign we inEurope use thi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, You answered your own questions. By including the IMHO by those convictions nobody will object against. BTW we started with the assumptions that we should compare our systems with the real thing (live music), then to compare different d... 
Question on FR 66s
Dear Suteetat, The FR-64 s was a bargain in the 80 is and still is. Your choice of the headshell however should be dependant from the cart you use or intend to use. By changing the headshell you also change the eff. mass of the arm. So there is no... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Dear Thuchan, I remember the most of your pictures about the building of your dedicated listening, uh, space. I don't however rememer to have seen any 'steel reinvorced slabs' anywhere while non of your components is 'hanged' on the walls. My apar... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, You use very often the abbreviation OMHO but in the wrong places or statements. If you would use OMHO by your 'convinctions' nobody would have any problem with your statements. We all agree, I think, that our tastes and preferences may ...
