Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Don, was that (old saying in engineering) the motto among your brethren at Rohr? I could visualize Jerry falling back on that. ;^) 
Cleaning the equipment
Whether you prefer a shop vac or compressed air to remove the grime, a brush will help to loosen dust and dirt. I bought a package of stencil brushes with an assortment of sizes. I prefer them to regular paint brushes since they are much stiffer a... 
Amps with short warm up time 4 critical listening
The Sander amp(s) have reputation for great sonics and run cool so can be left on all the time. It seems like I've read even with his they can improve over 24 hours which is why he recommends leaving them on. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, I was just having a little fun. I don't feel capable of splitting hairs on the head of that angel dancing on the head of a pin as some of you are. So I just read along and ask only a simple question from time to time.It is certainly true tha... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
OK folks, here is the REAL question. Will Raul's thread reach 10K posts by April Fool's Day? Just think of the implications! ;^) 
AR the Turntable - worth it?
Hi Cat. I bought a new AR-XA in 1970 which offered exceptional performance per dollar. I later bought another one used and replaced the arm with a Mayware. So far as I know each model update from the original were improvements.Just over a year ago... 
My turntable hates Cat Stevens
Azjake, so your neighbor gets a flat tire and you decide to quit driving? ;^) 
My turntable hates Cat Stevens
Well, my cat hates Steven's turntable.(Sorry, I couldn't help myself for a turn of phrase!)Is your stylus clean? The Magic Eraser can do wonders but be careful how it is used.For setup you mentioned using the Mint which I assume gives overhang and... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
So Raul, when your musical listening pleasure lasts more than 4 hours do you seek medical attention? ;^)But seriously, given that you initiated this post to discuss MM and MI cartridges, I would have thought you might begin a new thread to cover y... 
The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations
Srbedard, I believe you only identified one of three problems with reading cartridge recommendations. It is true and understandable that dealers may not be happy to loan out expensive cartridges for home trial.But also there is the compatibility i... 
Tannoy Westminister VS dc10 Instrument Grande V
Bag, if I may abbreviate your name, you and Q-m should realize the Tannoy is NOT a single driver speaker. They have used the term "dual concentric" I believe since their beginning. It is a two-way system, a separate tweeter is mounted in the cente... 
Micro Seiki DD 40
Latin, so long as the original MA-505 arm is included it seems $600-700 would be a very nice deal. I believe that arm alone sells for $500-600 and it is well regarded. 
New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM
Bbro, Magnepan suggests the DMW might be used to augment bass, depending on the main speakers and the room. In many situations the 20.x or 3.x may be adequate by themselves. But in some cases improvements may be realized by the addition of one or ... 
Help- Auditioning Tekton Pendragon
Aolprodj, can you compare your sense of differences between the Pendragons and you Mag 3.7? I realize one is in a music system while the other is your home theater speaker, but you surely hear music on the Pendragons too so your general impression... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
I'm not an authority on DAL models, but I did follow their progress because of owning Duntechs and my respect for John.I thought all the DAL numbered (Roman style) models were preceded by SC. I don't remember that he produced a special line of Sig...
