| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Downunder: How close do you have the Raven power supply and/or the motor from the 20FL?It is clear that there is no problem with the Phantom ( Halcro is using it with the 20FL. ) but something " around " that could be almost anything: motor T... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Dear Curio: Yes the Ikeda is very good too and an option for you.Ldorio is right the bearing on the Ortofon is a little better than the one on Jelco but is dificult to say its performance differences with your cartridge if you don't have both bis ... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Dear Curio: The Jelco is a good tonearm too ( Jelco build/design tonearms for other companies:OEM. ) but the Ortofon have an additional advantage: it is a dunamically balanced design and this permit to run a cartridge in both ways with a satic or ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dgarretson: +++++ " may I add to your remarks. IMO once the rest of the system "arrives" at a certain level of refinement, it is possible to enjoy a relatively wide range of cartridges without much preoccupation as to which is best." +++++no ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro: +++++ " Surely this demonstrates that once you achieve a certain level of playback accuracy, the 'type' of turntable and its drive system together with the 'type' of arm and its length becomes 'incidental' as long as the implementatio... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Dear Curio: I never try it in my system but I now very well Ortofon and its build quality and know how on the tonearm/cartridge subject.I don't see any single issue why not buy it and matched with your Benz LP ( in any TT, including your Raven. ).... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dgarretson: I can't talk about the Empire 888X-EX but I can talk about the MF-100 that you own.I urge you to try it with that unsual high VTA/SRA, I hope that like me you can/could have a very nice " surprise " with its quality performance an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro Good to read that what you heard through the 20FL is similar of what some of us heard.Yes the M20FL Super is very good like other vintage MM/MIs, one advantage on the 20FL is that today exist a source for the cartridge when in other MM... | |
