Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Acman: Yes, Thakker is handling both vbersions the low and high impedance but you have to invest 500.00 Euros for each one. These 980 are the non-calibrated " 981 " cartridge models. Yes this 980 is IMHO better than your 881.Well, your pocket...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm: For the Acutex " hystory " all things seems to me that those cartridges share the same motor. According with the Acutex manual impedance and DC resistance is the same and the only difference between the 315/312 and 320 is that the 320 h...

Dear Nandric: I agree with you. Today cartridge fixing price is higher than the price we paid for the cartridge it self so we have two think twice before that " refresh " be justified but this fact is something good because today we will send to "...

Dear Dgob: Your 420 experience came at random because that was something you was not looking for. Several times things happen by " accident "/at random and happen great things like the 420 improvements. Remember: Newton?I always say that every sin... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Frogman: You are right. We don't need the 420 but the 415/412 to arrive to the modified 420 as the Dgob one.This is what I experienced with my 315/320 ( long nose ). I revamped through VDH the 315 that now performs a little better than the st...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Stltrains: Your 15Sa with the 20SS certainly is a " winner " and almost the 20SS. We have to remember that the main difference between the 15 and the 20 model is because this one measured better due that the the stylus tip was more " perfect ...

Dear Rockyboy: +++++ " Is one TT type inherently better than another? " +++++my experiences on all TT drive systems but the rim one tell me that no one is better than the other.Syntax posted: ++++ " The worst - by far - is idler drive, followed fr...

Dear Harold-not-the-barrel : Playing with different load impedance/capacitance values could help a little about. It is dificult to know exactly what is happening down there which factors are contributing to that sibilant problem.Regards and enjoy ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Harold-not-the-barrel: The At-20SS never was an " easy girl ". Not only needs 40-50 hours of playback from new to begin to shows what kind of real quality performance level has, even after this playback time we have to re-set our original set...

Dear Halcro: Of course that I try it. I use on the 8000 and 506 SAEC's Baerwald alignment.That Clearaudio is still a winner and hard to beat performer. Yes, don't touched any more or can lose its " magic ". I don't think this could happen but I kn...
