Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dover, If one assume that conical= spherical then either can be substituted for each other salva veritate. That is to say if the premise is also true (LOL). No idea how and why but I was the first to mention Anderoli in this thread asking imp... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, To me this Magic diamond looks like a modify EMT TSD 15. The strange thing is that so many designers are somehow chalenged by this 'oldfashioned' German cart. Van den Hul, Brinkmann, Einstein, Touraj Mogaddan (Roksan) and possible some ... 
has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0
I thought I had (left channel not working) and also postedthe pre back to China and got a new one while still keepingthe old one. But the fault was in my tonearm wiring. I am very glad with this phono-pre which I use in my second system mostly to ...

Dear comrade Don, I am sorry to report that I am excommmunicated as a party member because of my capitalistic inclination and petit bourgeois mentality (LOL). The Shirazis, I hope , on the way to me but meanwhile I got the 'problematic' Stanton 98... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear all, I need to defend Raul. He was with me the only one who quoted the data from his 981 'calibration performance data' card. It would be strange to own the card and not the cart. His and my sample are nearly identical as I already mentioned.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dover, As you see Raul is not willing to actually share carts but only his opinion about them. I was, I think, the first one who put forward that Glanz and Astaticare 'the same' carts. I first got the Astatic MF 200 andthen the Glanz 31 l (l=... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear comrade Don, I was not as brave with my Goldring 800and asked Axel for my 'usual upgrade': line contact pressure fitted in a aluminum alloy cantilever. My 'bravery' limit for the retip is 175 euro btw. The result is , say, 'nice' but not stag... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear comrade Don, Raul is in our vocabulary like partysecretary in the central committee. So he is a priori rightin anything. You should consult your older comrade beforemaking such contradictory statements. BTW the easy way tolive the party is si... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul& Fleib, The ladies call this 'the man thing' probable refering to our obsession with our hobbies. I would add as such the 'curious' behaviour regarding theuser manuals and technical specifications included. It looks as if reading tho... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, Who is Stanton? Your 'curious' finding about theVTF by which the 981 is tested is the same as by my sample:1 mN. But this apply to the measurements marked above thepart 'specifications'. In this (lower)part ,by tracking, I have 100 micr... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, I am aware of your inclination to attribute to the styli more influence then they possible CAN have. But that those innocente things can be accused to change the resistance and inductance of an cart is new for me and probable everybody... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, Your assumptions are 'one way only' like thepostage to the USA (aka US custom). BTW I now understand why the Americans are regarded to be so generous. They expect to get their presents back. Strange custom I must say.Now what happens i... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, I must again state that I as a amateur can only think with or in assumptions. Those are anybody's quess. The facts are assumptions which are proven to be true. Thisdifference seems to be very important. Now my assumption is that to meas... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Henry & Dover, I admire critical minds in generalthose who are also technicaly 'grounded' even more.As an amateur I can only think in assumptions like anybodyelse. My first regarding the stylus drag is that the poor thing irrespective of ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Acman, You was succesful by your first attempt toconfuse some of us with your 'comparison' between 981versus 980. To try the same joke twice is a proof that youare a brave man. Your conclusion that both are 'the same'qua measured parameters i...
