Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: I think now I have a more clear opinion on the AT-95 SA that I 'm testing in the last 10+ days along the CA and other top performers:http://www.lpgear.com/product/LPGAT95SA.html I mounted in the AT-1503 with the same Audiocraft heads... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Plinko: I can add some info to what Fleib posted.Along CA I think that the Shelter 201 and Sumiko Pearl are medium compliance but for what I remember there is no low compliance MMs other than the Ortofon Arkiv/Night Club or the like that are ...

Dear Halcro: +++++ " Finally, I can't help but feel that all this talk of 'distortions'.....by you Raul and also by Jonathan.....without a single example .... " ++++++Henry, you can read my answers on that subject in several threads ( in the MM/MI... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Ecir38: With out take my notes I think that I added 400pf-450pf to an Exel cartridge and one of my ADC ones.I have to say that that was time ago but anyway valid in my system. The capacitance subject always is system dependent and of course w...

Dear Lewm: IMHO: wrong answer: ++++ " and I am always thinking of ways to improve my pre-amp. " +++++so you want to improve your pre-amp but you are reluctant to improve your TT/tonearm.With all respect that makes no sense: especially that every s...

Dear Jcarr: No, we did not. Now that you are touching the NC on LPs permit me to ask: what do you think about? makes sense ( it makes sense to me. ) to work with?, yes? good, no? why not?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Halcro: If it is true that each one home audio system listening experience is " particular/unique " to no one but the owner IMHO it is true too that there are and exist some not writed " rules " that not only serve to criticize some body else... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib: My sample runs great at 100 ohms.Dgob, I respect JC on the DL-100A that's very good but IMHO the DS1 is way better and yes the Highphonic D-15 is very fine too: you have to remember that the Highphonic people came from Denon.Regards an... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dgob: Maybe is time that you give a in deep listeninbg test to the Neumann option.My take here ( other that my tests about really likes me. ) is that if the majority of recordings came with this " correction " then apply the inverse one is wh... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: I was and am a little busy working-playing with that Neumann correction and with the AT-95SA ( I will post on this latter. ).I have both at hand so time to go in deep about.Dlaloum posted that the NC could or can gives more " airy " ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dgob: Do you read what J.Carr posted on phono stages?, IMHO that's how your Phonolinepreamp was designed but on " steroids ".No I'm not presume on that design but facts are that it " falls " under that description and was so " tempt " to leav... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nandric: IMHO the " euphonics " is in the designer hands and not in a specific " in self " part of that design.A designer can choose to achieve an accurate and neutral sound/performance in the same way that he can choose different level of it... 
Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws
Dear Jeremy72: Laws?, IMHO there are no laws about but only theory about: that sometimes works and sometimes does not it depends on cartridge overall characteristics and tonearm it self.IMHO it is not easy to take as a rule/laws a " generalization...
