Audiofeil, There are many collisions between Raul and me in different threads but those were never about his carts valuations. The most of us are very thankful for his MMexplorations. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Mike, Raul give you a wide choice but to my knowledgeAxel is specialist for the AKG and B&O carts. I assume thatsuspension repair will cost much less then a retip. Yourdisappointment may become a great joy.

''Raul's opinions are just that''. The MM thread has morethen 6000 contributions but I can't remember that Raul waswrong in one single case. Consistent and reliable during this whole thread. I don't agree always with his philosophy but I trust his... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul&Mike, Are you talking about AKG P100 suspension? I have seen this cart only on pictures and just once on ebay for 2000 Euro. Assuming that Mike bought the cart for the 'similar price' it must be very frustrating to discovere defective sus... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Don and Mike, I am suprised to see that Axel deliveredsuch a Super Nova specimen. You should write to him and askfor the readjustment. I have some idea how MC carts are centered but have not a clear idea how this is done by MM carts. Those prob... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, 'a slightly skewed cantilever',etc. I think that slightly or otherwise skewed cantilever has more to do with the centering of the cantilever then with the causeslike the AS or the 'centripetal force'. The usual max. for the AS on the t...

Dear Lew, The Dutch are collectivly convinced that the Germans have no sense for humor. However I deed find some 'high level' contra examples: 'Wenn Theorie und Praxis ubreinstimmen dan sind sie wahrscheinlich beide falsch'( If theory and practice... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear John, There are two different reactions possible in the case of an succesful 'experiment': Heureka! for the theoretical kind of guys and 'it works!' for the practicalkind. The last mentioned kind may not care about the question: why? But even... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
There are 'theoretical'- and there are 'practical' reasons.The old Kant wrote two separat books about that. For themost of us the practical issue is the only relevant one forthe obvious, uh, reason. We are not able to participate in the theoretica...
