| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Don, To be honest I was very sceptical about the G800but I asked Axel for the same upgrade as Raul without anyidea what he ordered. The G 800 was his idea btw. I am alsosuprised that you needed new suspension for your Ruby 3S.This is pretty n... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There are those who think that an Armani coat in combination with the jeans looks cool. I observed something 'similar' with the exotic cantilevers + exotic styli glued in an aluminum tube behind them (grin). | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Good evening Don, To my knowledge Axel is not yet 65 old.He can retire but still loves his work. I stated somewherein this thread that this craftmanship of making carts is'old man business'. Axel is in this business for 40 years.Only daily repetit... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dover, Despite of your eloquence your are fetched in contradictions. While I always thought that logic is a weak part by Raul. BTW he should quote his own statements from time to time in the same context. My experience is that the more senten... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Don, I kind of already fool you with my Miyabi. My is the 'American Takeda'(Krell KC 100) and I am very reluctant to say what I paid for. To my knowledge Axel does not fit styli in any cantilever but get those as combos (stylus already fitted... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Don, Only a damn capitalist can afford nude Shibata/ Berillium combo. My retip is the proletarian kind: Aluminum / line contact. I am not sure yet how to rank theG800. I tested this one for just two days. But anyway my Ruby 3s is better. Rega... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Don, Yes I have. With Axel's retip.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, I am glad that I followed your suggestion and bought the Genesis 1000. While you was sceptical about Axel's retip (line contact pressure fitted in aluminum cantilever) I can say that Genesis 1000 with Axel's retip is a much better prop... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thuchan, Those among us who have the priviledge to ownthe FR-64S are, I assume, interested in the new Ikeda'scarts. But the nomenclature is very confusing. To my knowlegde there are three versions . Can you 'rank' them for us?Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Henry, Within 12 days you can use the plural 'we'without any fear to be accused of exaggeration. I just posted my FR-7 to Axel for the same retip.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dover, This was my fearful assumption: to good to be true. That was 'the' why of my question. But I am happy for you. I have some idea about the so called 'retip' services.To retip a stylus in the existing cantilever seems to be much more dif... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Henry, I thought that there is consensus about the 'fact' that the speakers are the weakest link in our systems. Anyway I agree with your stand. Speaking about speakers those that I consider to be exceptional and capable to delivere the neede... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dover, Your Dyna 13 rebuild by Dynavector looks to be a very interesting proposition. Can you be more specific about the details. I just got my Karat 17 D2 back from Axel. He somehow managed to solve the problem with the (very) short cantilev... | |
| Classification of Benz Micro cartridges I had a dream visitor from Switzerland for a week. An technician by Benz and close friend of Lukatschek. He had 5 MC carts with him but I was only interested in the LP andRuby 3S. I forget the names of other three. BTW The LP S was introduced 2 or... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The most money I spend or lost, depending from the point ofview, was on speakers and drink. I don't regret the drinks.I first fall in love with Quod 57 but because of dynamicsswitched to Timpany (Magi's), then one pair of Audiostaticsthen two pair... |
