Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Timeltel/Halcro: IMHO a main difference between the Signet freak, the 155LC and the TK10ML3 is on the " I'm here "/cartridge presence factor level:IMHO the freak has the higher level where the 155LC is in between and the ML3 is the one where ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Timeltel and all: I finished using the AT 1503 tonearm and the MG-10 headshells for all " four " cartridges: 5e, 155LC and TK10ML2. Halcro, as you point out, as with the 20SS these cartridges does not likes the G-940.I will be briefly on what...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Halcro: Usualy I listen at 83db-84db but when I'm testing my system or a " new " item/cartridge I always make two tests: I heard at around 76db on SPL ( continuous at seat position. ) and at around 95db.The latest one give you very clear the ...

Dear Halcro: I forgot, please test the FR at continuous 95db SPL at seat position with around peaks on the 102db for at least 20-30 minutes and see what " happen ", what is what you experienced?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Halcro: The one I tested was the 6SE. About compliance you can check against the XV-1 (with VTF in between: 1.8grs to 2.0 grs. ) and see how the FR cantilever with the same VTF than the XV-1 ( I just do it. ) goes down a little further that t... 
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...

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 ... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
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... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
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...
