Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Albertporter: With all respect till today I can't understand why any one invest big big dollars on LOMC cartridges only to degrade its quality performance through a SUT, any SUT at any price. I have to say that years ago I belongs to this LOM...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Albert: That's very good performer and is very low output at the same level of LOMC cartridges with low output.It benefit from an active high gain phono stage.IMHO better performer than the V15VMR. In the Shure lines I prefer the M140HE but a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Delamostre1: Days ago that seller ask me if the stylus assembly was the original one in his 9600 cartridge and I can't help him because my 9600 came with a non original stylus assembly. I can't say either if was Nagaoka the cartridge builder ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nandric: As I told you one of the " best chased " cartridge, hard to find out.I own that AT, recomemded even that that one has no stylus. If you win the auction then you will need a source for diamond cantilever/stylus because that kind of ca... 
How do you tame a Denon DL-S1?
Dear Rsimms: The DLS1 is very good performer but to shows at its best it needs and active high gain phonolinepreamp. Tube electronics usually has not enough gain with low noise and SUT's ( including the Denon one. ) along additional ICs only degra... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Dear Banquo363: Yes, with some cartridges like the Acutexs and Empires it is a little riscky to take off the stylus guar but the rewards are worth to do it with extremely care.With care any one can do it and like you say " even Nandric can ".If we... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear L/N/T: All over this thread shows us that we all did not take to much time speaking on the Stanton/Pickering cartridges and this is a little weird because both are top designs and a lot of people own these cartridges including some of us.I ne... 
Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry?
Dear Halcro: I think that I don't explain to good or that you did not understand what I posted, here again:first I don't know why you want differnt geometry alignment for each tonearm ( Baerwald, Stevenson, L¨fgren or what ever. ).If you need full... 
Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry?
Dear Halcro: To do that, fully interchangeable, you need that those tonearms share same effective length and if not then you need to " force " all tonearms on the choosed efective length.Remember that's the effective length where those tonearm geo...
