Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Waynefia: IMHO the 140LC is worth for a new stylus ( after you tested what you have right now, maybe works fine. ) or the 155LC up date.Five dollars for it?, that's a real bargain. I think the best you can do is test that cartridge for you ca...

Dear friends/Halcro: I already have on hand the FRs cartridges 6 and 5 ones ( courtesy of Mario. He worked for five years in Japan. ) along the Signet 5ea.I was " playing " with all them and permit me to report my findings first on the FRs:first t...

Dear Ct0517: With TTs I always used/use it three 616 footers . Normaly you don't need four exception with the heaviest ones.Remember that each footer has a weight range from 2.5kg to 15kg.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
Phono Input or new Phono preamp?
Dear Fatgh0st: IMHO your KW500 is a lot better that what the people here seems to me they are thinking.I agree with Johnnyb53, IMHO the best you can do is to work/test your MF KW500 with a good MM cartridge ( as a fact your unit was designed for u... 
What defines a high compliance cartridge vs low
Dear Mechants: I don't have nothing to add on what other people posted other that could be nice and a " surprise " to you if you try/test that Goldring 1042 cartridge in the VPI set up. That cartridge has a lot better quality performance that you ...

Dear Chris /all: The " naked TT project " is similar as what happen with the MM/MI alternative: many people are trying/testing with no posts in the threads.Both alternatives are so un-expensive and so easy to achieve that IMHO it is an audio " was...

Dear Halcro: You are IMHO spot-on in your last two posts.On the first " plinths "+ subject we need to think " too " that not only the floor works as a plinth but the Earth's nucleus too!!!!In the other side a debate exist only because the ones tha...

Dear Atmasphere: Yes, that could be a " plinth " but that is not the subject here but the TT naked it self .In this same thread I posted that we always can hang on the TT from the ceiling and now what : the ceiling is the " plinth ".?The subject i...

I forgot, that was at hardware level we can't forget that all that system hardware ( including cartridge. ) works in favor of software/LPs.Raul.

Dear Lewm: So, that's means that all you own in your system were a placebo like where things are you were ready/prepare to like it? or it is only the " humor " you wake up today?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
How important is the tonearm?
Deare Acadie: For many years I " supported " that the tonearm and cartridge are one and only one audio item not two audio items.The in between relationship is so critical on quality performance level that made a hard " task " try to separate one e...

Dear Banquo363: The AT616 operate from audio items in the 10kgs to 60 kgs weight range.These insulator are beautiful made with a very high quality and where the 605 looks like a " poor toy " but the more important subject is that its three way ins... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: For all your posts and especially the starting ones by Timeltel seems to me that I'm just loosening the " big party " with the Signets/ATs freaks.I own the AT 155LC but no the TK5e or other Signet but the TK10ML II/III.Fortunately th...

Dear Banquo363: Yes, 15kg a piece. These AT footers are way different to the 605, the 616 are pneumatic design that take away vibrations/resonances from the audio item and impede too that come in any vibrations/resonances coming from where the AT6...

Dear Dgob: Nice to see that you too take that " flag " and that like it.The critical point here IMHO is that you decided to test it and the good thing to you is that the rewards you received on change was way worth to made it with almost no $$$/ef...
