Why do cartridge manufacturers give a range for VTF?
I agree with stringreen's argument while the reason is my AllaertsMC 2: 1,8 g ( maximal tolerance 0,05g). However chakster's''damping argument'' should also be of some importance becausethe damper is behind the coils and, depending from its ''hard...

Dear chakster, I never understood why Russians are so fond ofGerman philosopher. In you case Kantian ''categorical imperatives''are clearly present. Have you any idea how many Ortofon carts''our'' Axel has fixed? Do you think that he would recomme... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Dear chakster,''Glanz MFG -71 l (has) much bigger tapered Aluminum alloy cantilever ...found in cheaper and fairly high quality cartridges''.Curious statement but I don't believe that Mitachi would makesuch effort for the construction of 71 stilus...

Dear Lew, Dgob is an real English gentleman and can as suchimpossible refuse my kindly request. Besides he owns this G5thanks to me as well lives nearby Holland. I hope he is awarehow dangerous those Serbian fighters are . Loosing the EU market is... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Dear chakster, I quote Aristotle: ''Amicus Plato sed magis amicaveritas'' (I love Plato but I love truth more).I was wondering about your ''dismissal'' of Glanz 71 L in comparisonwith Glanz 31L. I was also surprised with Axel's repair of the 71dam...

Dear chakster, I mentioned my reservation about MM cartsregarding their ''internal construction'' . I have no idea howdamping (aka ''rubber ring'') is fastened on the cantilever.You know my experience with Technics 205,mk3 . Itssuspension problem ...

Dear chakster, Thanks for all your efforts to inform your co-membersabout MM carts in general and Glanz in particular. But I want tofirst explain difference with Astatic kind. Both Glanz and Astaticordered their samples with specific requirements.... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
I totally agree with my brother chakster that the primaryfunction of our forum is exchange of information. I am also(?)multi- lingual and able to follow many international sites. One of the ''richest'' is the German ''audio-markt.de''. Themost car... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
@adc-grace, I am 100% sure about my first ADC 25. In the70is it was one of the most expensive carts. To be precise 250Dutch Gulden (= DM). So chakster ''estimation'' or qualificationas ''cheap cart'' is not correct. My scholarship back then was 20... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
Dear chakster, ''Welcome back?'' If you mean to the ''old MMthread time'' yes. The time when we earned money with our cartsobsession provided we were very vast and, of course, thanksto Raul. That is btw why I still own 40 of those kinds. I discove... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
@chakster , Curious sense for humor or teasing. I can alsoimagine something or other but not why whomever would be interested in the last time I listened to some of my (40) MMkinds? From my ''confession'' that I prefer MC kinds one can'tdeduce tha... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
Dear chakster, ''the best ever'' is a way of speaking. Likemetaphors. One woud need to know how all cartridges everproduced sounds in order to make such statement. What weand you do is rather this: ''from all carts that I own I like ''x'' thebest.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
First things first, I am glad to see our old friend timeltel (akaProfessor) back. I thought that he left us as some other veryvalued members deed. His lectures are the only one in thisforum for which I need to consult English dictionary. This maym... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
Dear chakster, I don't believe that you can deduce yourstatements about ''best carts'' from my statement about''moving mass''. Moving mass is a part of the total cart construction but an very important part. The fact that eachdesigner try to reduc... 
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
The mass of moving parts is obviously important because allcart producers try to reduce this mass .Lighter cantilever, microridge styli  and low uitput coils with as little wire as possible areexamples. This is actually the reason for the preferen...
