Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Jim: I don't have the time at the moment ( sorry. ) for a precise explanation/comparison but IMHO the FL/E are something to hear and a must addition to your " powerful cartridge arsenal ", no doubt about: buy it while it last. Let me tell you... 
Cartridge Question
Dear Scott: Certainly that you today capacitance setting is around the cartridge specs because you have to add to those receiver spec of 150pf the cable capacitance.In a MM/MI cartridges the capacitance makes a difference especially in the high fr... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm: Both cartridges are similar with two main differences: as you point out the E comes for elliptical stylus against the FL that comes with a linear contact type, the other difference is on compliance: E has 40cu against the 20cu for the F... 
Cartridge Question
Dear Brent: All the posts has very wise and mature advise on your thread subject, I only want to add some thoughts about:first the Ortofon is a MM/MI cartridge that needs not only the right load impedance but the total capacitance value ( that the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm: Try a Nagaoka MP-50 where the tonearm is not grounded and touch the cartridge or the headshell not exactly hum but a distorted sound around Khz not 60 hz, yes I know that the ground hum is 60 hz or 50 hz frequency depend in which countr...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: How lucky you are, here you can find both Ortofon MI cartrodges the M20E Super and the M20FL Super!:http://stores.ebay.com/William-s-Stylus-Shop__W0QQ_sasiZ1QQ_sidZ190774482QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322good luck.Regards and enjoy the m... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Derekmur: I almost don't have that kind of problem with my cartridges, either LOMC or MM/MI ones, other than with the MP-50 Super and the AT-155LC ( that I'm testing right ow. ) but I have the noise only when I touch the headshell and this is... 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
Dear Perrew: Two independent stages configured as need it: 2MC, 2MM and MC/MM.For LOMC cartridges: 60 db and 54db in the phono stage and overall you can have what you need: 75-80-90 db. The phono stages gain comes in two gain stages, either MC and... 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
Dear Pedrillo: I don't know what precise information you are looking for in your thread and these are my thoughts on your last post.The units you name it ( in that list ) are good units but totally different between each other as is its each one q... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Phaser: That P-77 is very nice cartridge. Now, you are enjoying at that load impedance and this is an important subject, I don't see that you are in a " hurry " to modified the phono stage but in the future could be a good alternative to try.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear T_bone: My 100c is the P-mount type, I will report on it when I be ready to.If you can try to find the Ortofon that Lewm posted, recommended.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Phaser: Yes, interesting. As I posted and as all we know the load impedance/capacitance subject is a main factor on any cartridge set up and the MM/MI ones are no exception.It is very dificult to have a single absolute answer ( values ) for a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Siniy123: I know what you mean but I can't stay " calm " till I have and hear this Technics best ever made cartridge. This is a statement of product by any standards, beautiful made: full of quality everywhere in the cartridge build.Regards a... 
Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright.
Dear Artemus5: I would like to add some thoughs on the subject.I don't know which load impedance you are using, due to its very low internal resistance ( 5 ohms ) that cartridge will performs ( in a high gain active phono stage ) very good at arou...
