Dear chakster, I own both; JVC-X1, mk1 as well mk2 . Both have solid beryllium cantilever + shibata stylus. If titanium cantilevers are available  than as separate styli. There are alsoaluminum kinds available for both X-1,mk 1 and mk 2.  
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
David Fletcher designed and master machinist Demian Davidsonhandcrafted 160 parts for the so called ''the arm''. Aka Sumiko800. The similarity with Breuer is obvious but instead jof ustone by Sumiko  were produced 6 different counter weightsmeant ... 
The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts?
@bimasta, Your prose reads like a poem.  I was reallymoved by your loyalty to FR-201.  I have similar feeling forFR-7fz.  
The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts?
Dear chakster, ''Great device to avoid SUT'' is obviously meantto ''belittle'' your Slavic brother. But if I am well informed you justbought some cheap Italian phono-pre dismissing this way yourtechnical praise about ZYX CPP-1. The other possible ... 
The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts?
Addition, I don't know why exactly Lukatschek dislike ''iron'' (core) but he stated '' I don't like iron anywhere in the signal path'' (see above). I now remember his comment on Fremer'sreview of his LP s. He blamed Fremer for using SUT byhis list... 
The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts?
I was stunned to see that this was/is my own thread. From 2009!I also had difficulty to recognize my own English.Well the expression ''CORE-LESS''  may give the right directionfor our thoughts. ''Iron-core'' in the ''coil-former'' is used , like b... 
Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts
Dear chakster, To be more accurate I used Vienna as example51 times. The reason is simple. This is the easy way to explainhow different names can refer to the same object. The so called''co-referring names''. But those do cause confusion. Besidesw... 
NOS Grace F9E question
My prejudice is that MM styli with tension wire are special.J. Carr ever explained the function but i forget his arguments. Anyway those Grace , AT's , Technics 205 , some Jico ''SAS'' and some other use tension wire which is usual by MC kinds.The...

If the question is ''which ADC?'' then TRX 1 or 2.  
Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts
The question is about identity while identity theory alreadyexist. Say for someone who does not know that Vienna isthe same city as Wien (German) , Wenen (Dutch), Bec (Serbo-Croatian), etc. We are used to think that names have uniquereference. But... 
Arche Headshell and Technics 1200G
The part of the headshell on which the cart is fastened I call''insert peace''. Those can be ordered as separates. This meansas many headshells as one wants. One can even pre-adjustcarts (eff. length) on them for fast exchange. Arche is actuallya ...

I need, alas, some ''theory'' to explain what I mean. There isthis ''truth by conditions'' theory ascribed to Tarski. The ''model'' issimple:1. For all x Fx & Gx2. For some x Fx&GxThe first sentence is not true if there is just one object ... 
Highest detail cartridges
Hi downunder, I can confirm your opinion about Denon DL-S1.This cart is designed for the earlier produced , excelent AU-S1SUT. No need for an expensive phono-pre and, in my opinion,as a combo an giant killer. Anyway ''unbeatable'' for the price.  
Highest detail cartridges
Welcome back JCarr. Our fear was that you left us.We need a kind of ''super authority'' in this conundrum aboutthe question ''why do carts sound different?''  Considering thefact that technical issues are the same or similar the ''only''other poss...

Dear chakster, I consider you as the fastest learning member inour forum. In Raul's terminology you must have very high 'learningcurve''. I am member since 2007 and participated in MM threadsince. But I have never heard about Pioneer PC 1000, mk 1...
