| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor, Very interesting lecture as one may expectfrom a Professor. But I made my premisses explicit and oneamong them was the assumption that the stylus/cantilever by412,415 and 420 were identical. This was also assumed regarding the corp... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Davide 256, 'the average stylus pressure is 1.5 gm.,etc.' I was always wondering about this 'drag issue' more in particular because of the 'vulnerable' stylus cantilever combo. But as a non-technical guy I was not brave enough to say something alt... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Thuchan, For at least someone who looks even betterthan 'us' (the Connery twins) a real suprise to show off with his behind.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Griffithds,'They each do something special...'. This looks to me the right answer to the wrong question: 'which is the best?' I think that even my son will understand thisanswer better than : 'I am searching for the ultimate.'Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor, There is this 'if' in logic. The first oneis: if the premise is not true than the deduced statmentsare also not true. The second is: all the premisses need tobe true. I was not aware that the 'colour of the grip' wasrelevant for my... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Regarding Acutex 412,415 and 420. They share thesame body (aka 'generator') and differ only qua compliance.So, it seems, only the tonearms should make any differencequa sound (?). If the contra argument is the stylus (412?)this argument d... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, I think one can understand your attitude regarding 1812 Overture. But this has not much to do with carts (tracking) but with the Achilles tendon of electrostatic speakers...Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Will someone care to explain why those low compliance cartsare produced at all? There must be some reason I assume?Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Headsnappin, According to me they have the same 'corpus'(grey) but different styli: red for the 412 and black forthe 420.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I only inspected my 412 boxes in order to see if there aresome 420 carts in there. Alas. The Italian may look confused but an error at their own cost is to optimistic qua expectation. So I need some kind of accumulation of thebravery to inspect th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I need to express my (our) gratitude to Fleib and Dlaloum for their important contributions to this thread. As members we get a much better understanding about MM carts in general and the cantilevers/styli in particular. We geta kind of 'knowledge... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear David, I should add that according to Fleib only the styli are different by Clearaudio MM carts. So qua logic one may assume that the cheapest version (aka the Classic) has ,uh, the cheapest stylus. At this point, so to speak,my 'splandid ide... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, Alex is not complete nor clear about his styliand cantilevers.

| soundsmith retip shelter 301? Dear Stringreen, 'if the stylus needs replacement, the suspension system does to'. Will you care to elaborate on this proposition? I am not able to 'see' any causal relationship. Besides the complexity of the repair will obviously increase as will... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, According to Fleib all Clearaudio MM carts sharethe same generator. The cheapest among them is the AurumClassic: +/-50 Euro on the German ebay. My proposition isto buy two and ask Alex for the boron cantilever with the line contact styl... |
