Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lew, I checked by Pick-upnaalden.nl (sic!). There areboth versions 980 and 981. They are alas not (more) available but the old prices were: 411 Euro for the LZS and HZS 980 and 451 Euro for the 981 LZS and HZS. I also discovered Rauls contrib... 
soundsmith retip shelter 301?
I think that expression 'retip' is an misnomer if it doesnot refer to the stylus exchange only. All cart producersand retip services get from their supliers the complete cantilever/stylus combos. Those are than 'glued' in the tube with the 'bobbin...

Dear Lew, I still enjoy my Virtuoso but 'those' Stantonsare very musical. I own the 881 S and don't believe thatthe Virtuoso is better. Well different of course. I forgetwhich 991 you own: HZS or LZS ? The strange thing is the radical division: so...

Dean_man, May I elaborate on this 'metalistic' inclinationnot only by the old Greek but to our present time as well?Consider how emarrassed we feel when our 'honest as gold'John has robbed some bank and seduced the wife of his bestfriend. Then the...

Dean_man&Dgob, There are 'objective', technical parameterswhich all 'decent carts' must satify . The rest is obviously about individual preferences or valuation. But it is also obvious that our psychology wants to know, despite the mentioned a...

Hi Griffithds, I know this guy Branko Polak from the Germanebay. He is from Slovenia and a former Audio-dealer. He owns some impressive gear and I am sure that he discovered the 'Italian proposition' earlier than we deed. I don't envy persons who ... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Geoch, yes Allen Wright is the person I refered to as 'theAustralian importer' who induced SEAC to produce 407/23.He thought that this way SEAC would be more acceptable forthe Western customers who were more familar with the Bearwald geometry. Thi...

Dear Professor, I already wrote about 'generalisations' inthe context of the quantification theory. Simple stated about the use of words like 'all', 'non','most' and 'some'. Those are not refering expressions as is obvious in :'some (one) has stol... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lew, This '23 offset angle' by SEAC 407/23 was exactly the story of the Australian importer of the SEAC brand who seems to be at present an succesful designer of HIFI gear Switzerland. If you persist I will search for his name. But Daniel sca... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lew, 'Dear Nicola or anyone else' is not to the likingof my 'super ego'. I am alas not an expert in kinematics, have, to be honest, no idea what 'kinematics' means so you are overating me in one aspect of the issue while underating me in some... 
SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Daniel, What kind of German are you? I thought, because of Wagner, that you are very fond of all kinds of mythology. Do you really need to destroy the SEAC kind?Never in my life I was so dependant from a sufix. Ie I hopethat my 407/23 and mor...

SAEC 308N vs 308SX
Dear Lew, This is a quote about SEAC WE-308 SX from 'Tonearm Geometry and Setup' (Kessler&Pisha,Audio,January 1980): 'The SEAK WE-308 SX arm design is based upon research done by the Sansui Electric Co. The AES preprint 1390 (D-5) derived the ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Griffithds, I mentioned to Alex what J. Carr stated inour MM thread about pressure fited styli. No idea what Alexthinks about that but he was able to provide. I am sure that all those retip services order the cantilever/stylus combos from the...

Dear Halcro, Nandric 'special' Virtuoso is challenging Nandric Ruby 3 S. I just started the comparison but already got tears in my eye thinking about the price difference.I have btw a better advice for our Herr Professor. He should appoint me as h...
