| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Acman3: Yes, I remember what happen in that time.I bought the three Astatic cartridges NOS but the MF-300 that was second hand. I never give the time to the MF-100 and if I remember the test on the MF-200 was only to know was in good operatio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Jbthree: Good that you own both Astatic cartridges for as you say compare performance in between.Acman3 comments on this subject were almost with no superiority from MF-200 over MF-300 but that for some kind of music he prefers one model or t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Acman3: ++++ " He originally said the Astatic MF 200 and 300 were just below the best, but that was 3 years ago. " ++++I will try the MF-300 next week because now my system is " out of work ".The MF-200 is perhaps the better tracking cartridg... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear banquo363: Iown both the MF-300 and MF-200 and according to its manual both cartridge motors are the same so IMHO what you bought was a real MF-200, good.Regards and enjoy the music,R. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: +++++ " My point is that one can live happily with any one (or two?) of many of these cartridges, that while I believe they all sound subtly different from one another, more than one can be truly "great" or "exceptional". So it is not a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lewm: Again, IMHO the Astatic MF-200 is a must to have.Certainly other cartridges like your Grace Ruby are more easy to find out, even my MF-100 was more easy to get that the MF-200 or the MF-300 and things are that IMHO in the Astatic MF ser... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel: Thank you for your up date on the SAE. I'm sure that the SAE is a good cartridge even for a HOMC.I'm not looking MC options to listen it and maybe if I will in the future then I go for the LOMC SAE version or directly to the Choral ... | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Dear Chazro: Yes, from a collector point of view I agree with you, that's the main subject why we are LP's collectors.My wife ask me time to time: why if you listen to almost the same 400-500 LPs don't put on sale the other 5.5K+?, well she is not... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Stltrains: Yes, that AGK P8Es is another " lost link ". I don't know when but I will compare it against the newest P8Es AKG model ( similar to what is listening Jmowbray. ) or similar P25MD.All in all the older and different cartridge body/co... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Halcro: No doubt Timeline is a great tool for now. I think that the main subject around it is not only that we learn more about our each one TTs and its right set up but that today TT designers use the Timeline ( or similar tool. ) as a impor... | |
| How many LP's do you own? How long did it take? Dear Oilmanmojo: I know that for many of us our LPs are part of each one " collection " and as a collectors we try to " collect " almost everything we can but as audiophiles: how many of our LP's collections we hear each month?, I know that we hea... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel: Btw, I tested my AKG ES and overall is a good cartridge but I prefer the P8E.I know you own it too and maybe you coul give a try putting the time you already given to the ES. I prefer the 8E at both frequency extremes, I think there... |
