What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?
Variables and their values. Everybody seems to understand what''best cart'' means. But is that a fact?  As I mentioned in my previouspost ''better than relation'' imply  comparison, say: x versus y''.If the value for x is Denon 103 what is the val... 
What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?
The compulsion of language and grammar. The ''S is P'' sentence form. Aka ascribing properties to specific objects. But wecan't say anything about any cart without comparison with othercarts. This however imply relationship between objects. Forrel... 
Has anyone tried Brass cartridge mounting screws?
I am very reluctant to support any myths but I own the latest BenzLP mr with  ''huge'' broze insert by screws threads . The designer&owner by Benz is the old grandmaster Lukaschek with irreproachablereputation. Then , obviously, all brass inst... 
Has anyone tried Brass cartridge mounting screws?
The screws should have two properties: making rigid connectionpossible and being non-magnetic. Both are provided by brass kinds.  
Nakamichi MC1000: who designed and built it?
I understand curiosity in general but more so in particular. Inthis case I think that MC 1000 is an excellent cart. Nakamichi ownstory that they worked 2 years on design is less interesting. American companies ordered in Japan Miyabi, Zenn, Monste... 
Monster Genesis 1000 Phono Cartridge
My opinion is: ''don't give advice if you are not sure about yourassumptions''.  The stylus only retip cost about $200. The comboboron cantilever+ stylus about $500. Both can be ordered byExperts stylus in UK. I have one Genesis 1000 for sell for ... 
Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type??
That magnets ''sound on their own'' is curious ''argument''. But in our hoppy myths are usual and even needed to ''strengthen''the arguments. The question then is why should any one uselesser sounding magnets?  
Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay
Neonknight made the right ''pre-condition'' by adding ''if functioningproperly''. I think that its lift is worthless, magnetic functionsunreliable and counterweights inadequate. Long instead of ''short''such that they can be moved nearer to the pi... 
EMT and SoundSmith
EMT has by the usual measurement 1 mV output. So your phono-prehas sufficient amplification with 56 dB.  
INNER GROOVE DISTORTION
I must confess to have been very proud when I succeeded toget 90 microns ''pure'' (without any buzz) with my (then) OrtofonMC 20 with the help of my test record. The part about ''trackingability'' test. But then I come across the warning by Van de...

Dear chris, Regarding your own categorisation of the ''visitiors''of this curious thread I would subsume myself under category5 b. But according to my own opinion I would add category''teasers'' and count myself as one of those. To put this crypti... 
Cartridge Headshell Match
''Match'' is relational notion between at leste two objects. Butthe related objects can ''on their own'' be different. This is thecase by carts which have different fastening provisions. Somehave threads with different dimensions such that differe...

Dear Chris,You obviously mean London Decca? Also meant for those whoare obsessed with modifications. I bought ''the other'' cantileverlesskind : Ikeda 9 REX. No hum at all you know. You as my formerbrother can borrow the precious. I myself am alre...

Tracking Matters Most
To explain this ''conditional theory'' in our case one can alsostate that ''more conditions'' then just one need to be satisfyin order to get an good sounding cart. Body material , damping,coils, generator, cantilever , stylus, etc. In ''holistic ...
