Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: The first hand experiences by @frogman @travbrow @halcro confirm that  same specs in same manufacturer cartridges not makes or explain the differences in two same manufacturer models.The Empire D3 and Gold one is that first hand expe... 
Cartridge Impedance
Dear @lewm  @terry9   :   """  Impedance (which depends on frequency), capacitance (from the phono cable to the preamp), and inductance from the MC coils.  The combination effectively forms a broad band-pass filter. """that's was posted anthonyma... 
Cartridge Impedance
Dear friends. If what atmasphere posted: """  the cantilever to do more work and makes it stiffer, less able to track higher frequencies.  """if that theory is a proved reality then it's welcomed because what a cartridge designer is looking ( bet... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear @travbrow  : That " plastic piece " was really a news for me because it's not easy to perfect centered that " clip half opened holes ".I will look in my both original Empire boxes and maybe is there if I have that lucky, but I doubt. We will ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear @frogman  : ""   The original 4000D models use a thinner plain tapered aluminum cantilever and I believe the earliest versions were true nude diamonds. The model number is marked on the bottom vs the side of the Gold version. Different speci... 
Cartridge Impedance
Dear @terry9 : "" and whom react to load impedance in reality is not the LOMC but the phono stage performance. """That’s what I posted.""" and makes it stiffer, less able to track higher frequencies. """that’s not proved, it’s theory. In a normal ...

Dear @frogman : This is the Gold you own: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/empire-4000-iii-gold-cartridge-nib-148833896 and this the DIII @travbrow and me own: https://www.google.com/search?q=empire+4000DIII+Gold+phono+cartridge&tbm=isch... 
Cartridge Impedance
@lewm  : ""  The inductance combined with capacitance introduced by the IC and by the input gain stage can cause a high frequency resonance. With LOMCs, this occurs at very high frequencies, well beyond audibility or the capacity of any speaker ... 
Cartridge Impedance
Dear @terry9  : First than all I said that LOMC cartridges are not sensitive to load impedance changes in the phono stage and that's the phono stage whom is sensitive to those load impedance changes thatform a circuit internally and that " there "... 
Cartridge Impedance
Dear @jmh128 :  LOMC cartridges are not sensitive to load inpedance, are sensitive to inductance changes.What normally happens is that in some phono stages when load impedance is changed exist/developed an electrical circuit between the phono stag... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear @lewm  """  the 4000 DIII has a relaxed sound but because this cartridge ( like the Acutex or the Technics ) give you the impresion to be " there " where the music is " happening " with all the natural agresiveness that has the live music.  ... 
Cartridge Recommendations
Dear @xagwell  You can't go wrong with either of this alternatives. I own your 90X and these two better cartridges quality performance than the 90X: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9aee1-lyra-kleos-mc-phono-cartridge-like-new-cartridges h... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear @travbrow  : Is really top performer and as I said tested in a " new " overall room/audio system.Fortunatelly I own 3 original stylus replacement that like in the ADC 26/27 gives me the oportunity to make a top cantilever/stylus retip.Rigth n... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear firneds: If you are an Empire 4000D3 owner and you have some time not listen to it I urge to start to do and maybe you will be surprised as I'm for its very high quality level performance.Last time I listened was in 2010 and in all this almos...
