Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib: Maybe you are right. I'm using the ANV and the 550ML every single day, I will let other 50 hours and will make a fast sho-out again.It could not be a " surprise " that the ANV improves after more hours but I don't know where the cartri... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Halcrop: Not big deal. A design mistake in the Raven means only that but I think that's not the rule. I just checked ( because your post ) my two AS that use three arm boards each one cantilevered type atached at the down plate of the plinth:... 
Nude Turntable Project
Dear Banquo363/Halcro: That's exactly what I did several years ago with my Denon's, I posted here and in the past in other threads.Difference was that I used natural marble and natural onyx stones ( beautiful look for say the least. ) all that sup...

Dear Grbluen2: I think that almost of all us were or are " suffering " that moderator episode. I think too that the problem is not the Agon moderation post/thread policies but that Agon has not enough employees working as moderators and that's why...

N.: Do you think that J.Carr or any other regarded cartridge designer can't builds a Lyra Atlas with ruby cantilever that performs as it performs in the original design?, IMHO he can do it, he can tame the cartridge performance in anyway he wants ...

Dear Dover: ++++ " I suspect that putting ruby cantilevers for example in a cartridge that hasn't been designed for it is courting disaster ... " +++++in theory with top cartridges the voicing designer and the design it self fulfil what are the de...

Dear nandric: +++++ " regarding the 'exotic' ruby or sapphire cantilevers I remember J.Carr's statement that he does not like how they sound ... " +++++yes I remember but he failed to tell us if that " does not like " was because a personal prefer... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear griffithds: I think so. LC stylus is more a genre than a specific shape that does not change, there are LC variations and the LC in the 440 cartridge is a vintage one and I don't think that any re-tipper has it.Now, the option that Acman3 ( I...

Dear Nandric: I agree, many times we have ( for different reasons. ) to accept the " second and even third best ".Btw, I heard at least three times the 150MLX and I can tell you that is not the " second best " against the ANV.I know you are a pati...

Dear Acman3: The Precept 440LC and AT150ANV comparison showed that the Precept beryllium/LC is comparable to the ruby/sapphire/ML. The main difference was that the LC tracking habilities are way superior to that showed by the ANV ML one. So both k...

Dear Sarcher30: ++++ " For those that do pick one up make sure to load it higher than 47k if you can to get the most out of it. " +++++years ago I decided to load MM/MI cartridges over 47K and finished in 100kohms with great success. I tried other...

Dear Lewm: Yes, is correct. Seems to me that both cartridges are " easy " tonearm to tonearm. I which to have more time to test on other tonearms.Regards and enjoy the music,R.

I forgot, I tested both cartridges in those two tonearms with the same result.Btw, now I understand wht Sarcher30 bought not only one 150ANV sample but two!, good for him.R.

" not so damped " is an error, is has to say: " not so alive " as the JK one ".I'm in love with both cartridges at the same level. Has no preference for either.Oh yes, the 150ANV is very good looking item and hands off the " ugly " 440LC.R. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends:What a hard task was this Precept PC440LC against the Audio Technica AT150ANV, almost " frustating ".The 440LC is anchored to the JVC tonearm. I mounted the 150ANV in the Grace G-940 unipivot tonearm through my propietary headshell de...
