Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry?
Addition. With so many variables one can forget about theconstants. Why do you assume 'constant records' while the distance between the modulated inner groove and the spindle is variable? What is the sense of '0' point at an position on the record... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
What a dilemma for me: Montepilot looks like my twin brother ( I also own the Triplanar and the Red 2A) while Henry is my Slavic brother. Now I mentioned somewhere that'pretending' is an important social capability but I musthonestly agree with bo...

Dear Dover, I was not sure if my expression 'cruel' was 'offensive' but we got a very interesting report about the Karat Nova 13D . Thanks! However your enthusiasm aboutthe cantileverless Ikeda added to complexity (of choice) instead of enligthtem...

Dear Henry, So far as I can overlook our members only Thuchan and Raul will really understand your effort. The rest of us can only repeat after Hawking ('History of time'): 'to many variables'.Regards,

Dear Albert, Welcome to the right church and the true faith. The only one in the whole 'HI-FI world' which may be called 'profitable'. 'A solid investment' in the MC church looks like a (bad)joke but as you can see from Lew's proposal you can make... 
Compatible MC cartridge for Thorens 150 turntable.
Your question is ambiguous: for your Thorens you can use any cart whatever. With 'the original tonearm' no cart whatever will be happy. Remove this tonearm and buy the Rega 300 or 301. In an decent tonearm many carts will perform well. But conside...

Dear Raul, 'last week I was tempted by an ebay auction...'is the worst excuse I have ever heard except, perhaps,the excuse which Lew is used to use: 'the price was such thatit was impossible to resist'. This way one can 'justify' and 'explain' +10... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Since 11 September 2001 the Federal postal inspectors become totally paranoid. Probable because of the instruction/ warning by Bush administration that an atomic bomb can be hiden even in a CD/DVD envelope. Those I use mostly to post my carts beca...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Whoever (re)discovered the MM carts (my uncle Boris claimsto be the first) the case is that because of the huge pricedifference with MC carts we are able to buy more than one,try them out, and probable keep those that we like andresell the other. ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Professor, One really need to be brave to 'swim against the stream'. I am aware about my own prejudice reg. the carts. Ie I don't expect to get an good MM cart forcheap. The more expensive a cart is the more convinced I am that more expensive...
