Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, Depending on the kind of repair the cart must be 'opened' or not. By the 'retip' the usual procedure is to insert the cantilever/stylus combo ( as provided by supplier) in the 'tube' on which the bobbin (with the coils) is fastened. Th...

Dear Fleib, I was able to see that the cantilever is a boron tube (the most are solid) but not if the stylus was broken of togheter with a piece of the cantilever. AlasAxel is still not able to provide microridge styli. I made much effort to conta...

Dear Toniwinsc, I nearly sold my Kuzma Stabi Reference (8kgr platter, two motors, one belt) in order not 'to stay behind'. Lucky me there was no Kenwood 07D available duringmy 'intention time' otherwise I would make a mistake. Thanks for your 'gro...

Dear Dgob, Sorry for your 'argument' but 'aestethic in itswider...sense' make no sense. Raul is very clear in hisstatement reg. function versus aestethics. I myself am veryimpressed with the 'aestethics' of the FR-64s. But I would never state that...

Dear Henry, you made the comparison with blonds, brunettes,red-haired,etc., to disclaim my own illusion about the 'fidelity'. There was some confusion in the MM thread between 'euphonic' and 'euphoric' but I thought that someone who is euphoric ab...

Dear Lew, it would be very presumptious for me to say anything about English grammar. But I assume that punctuation is ,say, universal.Now why should fetish beallowed and ,say, some punctuation preference condemned?I have more things in common wit...

Dear Raul, You are as usual well informed. I posted to Axel among other (AT 180; Astatic MF 200: bent cantilever) the Genesis 1000 without stylus. Never heard about this one till Fleibs 'euphoria' reg. this cart. I got the Genesis from 'my' Italia...

Triode&Lew, The Clearaudio series MM carts differ only quacantilever /styli and corpus (wood + metal kind). Accordingto Raul Peter Ledermann told him that the Virtuoso stylus was 'mediocre'. I assume that Raul retipped his Virtuoso by Peter. W...

The logic and our hobby don't fit together. I have no cluewhy the low compliance carts are produced which is the same(in my case)as that they make no sense to me. Despite ofthis (subjective) fact I own 2 or 3 of those. I know that something is wro...

Not sure about Australian but a Dutchman would never buyany Raven considering the 'speed stability' and , more inparticular, the price difference with the (victorious)Victor TT-101 (or TT 80?). BTW the 'stylus drag' is invented to justify megabuck...

Dear Ecir 38, Neat for HIM. One is usually glad when solving some problem. Your source however refuses to even try to solve my because your reference is not available. Besides If you think that I have only one problem you overrate my situation.Reg... 
Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12
My teachers mentioned but never actually explained theinspiration 'source' for the poets called 'muse'. My ownimagination was : the most beautiful but inaccessible girl at (high)school. Never thought that an TT and certainly not the LP-12 could be...

Dear Vetterone, If you mean some 'curious' sense for humorI agree. But I still try to learn English so, alas, some ofthe American proverbs or the way of speaking are not clear to me. But Lew is always willing to help in this regard. I even think t...

'Everything you can do I can do better'(grin).The assumption is that all Clearaudio MM carts share thesame 'generator' and differ only qua cantilever/stylus combo. So one can 'do better' by visiting the German ebayand buy any of those Clearadio's ...
