Plato,Sorry for my omission. I should also refer to yourassumptions reg. HF. If my assumptions are similar to yoursthat is. Ie it is not my claim that I was the first toask the question about possible correlation between loadingand HF performance....

Ydkim/Scar972, The construction of Rega allows easy accessto the armwand-hole.I have the description of how to do this.Scar you are not explicite but I assume you mean rewire from tags till RCA connectors. Ie the best solution for (the only) Rega ...

Hi Samhar, My post was not in any way indented as critic to your post. One can only try what he thinks will help.If one is not aware of something then it is impossible toinclude this in one's reasoning. My premisse was double-sided: the MC carts h... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear all, Seneca was the first to postulate:'rationale enimanimal est homo'. I think that our answer to Seneca would be :' dear Seneca being rational is fine but not all the time'. With 'our' I am refering to our members. Ie those who buy all thes...

Samhar, 'steps down in loading'. Nobody mentioned HF units in his speakers while the most MC carts have pronounced high frequency. My are beryllium-kind (Usher BE-20) and I had the impression to tame them by 'step down' to 400 ohm.However in the G... 
RB300 Rewire or Graham Robin for my Gyrodec ?
If you are skilful you can rewire the Regs your self. Iefrom 'tags' till RCA connectors. The Discovery wiring isexcelent btw. But the most easy way is from the Din connector in the 'collar'. You need to solder the actualRega wiring to a new Din (m...

Hi Markpao, I assume that you are refering to Ruby 3 S?BTW the 'S' should be FG-S. Ie Fritz Geiger stylus;also used by Jan Allaerts. My first attempt was 1000 Ohm but Iprefer 400 Ohm (10 x 38 Ohm ). 'It all depends' as one says. My phono-pre is Ba... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lew, Those Bluz Broz styli seems to be much better byphone then on the pictures. On the pictures the models fromM-310 to M-320 all have the same stylus:0,3x1,6x0,6. Butthe prices are from $59 to $188. With exception of M-312 STR non has any i... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm, We are already confused regarding the stylus shape as well as the versions of Acutex. If you like to addthe colours to this confusion I am glad to provide. I have seen:yellow,red,purple,blue and black. Wich coulour doe youprefer? I want... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm, I send to you also an email with the picture ofall Acutex styli that I own. My Acutex is the 'M' kind as I mentioned to you. So sorry once more but I already own the wrong LPM stylus. Those are totaly different from the 'M' kind. So one... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm, Sorry but your hypothesis is wrong. There are two 'versions' of Acutex. The prefix is 'LPM' for the newkind and 'M' for the old. Non of them is P-mount.The real problem is to get the original stylus. My web search during3 months resulte... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dgob, The strange thing is that I bought 'some' MM carts in order not to miss the 'MM contra-revolution'. Alasmy Basis Exclisive 'Gold' has no MM inputs. But I got somehow the technical info about Andante P-76. So, I hope,this can be of some ... 
To buy or not to buy a used cartridge?
'It takes two to tango' obviously but nobody mentioned theseller's risk: negative feedback + tedious aftermath.Ie whyshould one risk both for an cart?Regards, 
Thorens TD 160 upgrading?
Hi, I bought an TD 160 super for my son and added an newRega 301 + aluminium base (from the UK). Steve described the whole issue very precise. One should be very careful with the belts.I am still looking for 'the best'mat but,alas, without much su...
