NOS cartridges
Stan, These words are not mine. I am repeating things, statements I have read in audio books, and magazines that afre informative. Some are designers. In fact, one is named Les Watts, a cartridge designer for Shure for many years, and he was cauti... 
NOS cartridges
I will provide the information that I have. But a good starting point is Good Sound...by Laura Dearborn. This book is not biased, like calling a company like Ortofon. This book uses experts in the fields opinions. Creators of Table, Tonearms, etc.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Axel. I didn't limit my favorites to LOMC carts. I dont have the proper preamp for true LOMC carts. I do say that as much as I too enjoy, and own, very top flight MM/MI carts. like the Shure V15VMR....AT20SS...GRADO Signature TLZ...GOLDRING 1022GX... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Where were you guys 3 weeks ago. It was me against Raul, and his cult full of Stepford Wives, afraid to say anything that doesnt agree with their King. Its actually pathetic. Your posts of late have been the only things that actually make sense, a... 
NOS cartridges
Hi Stan, I have exchanged posts with you in the past, regarding VPI and SME. You tolld me that you were pretty well lost in todays audio, since you gave up business many years ago. I have the source of the writings of this info, regarding cartridg... 
NOS cartridges
Big Difference between wire, bearings, and rubber elastomers. I have stated this before. Experts before, in the age of vinyl nirvana, in the 1980's always recommended that cartridges be replaced every 18 months regardless of useage, including NOS,... 
Alon Speakers
Right now im using Mackie SRM-450 Powered Monitors. These are more musical than I expected. Tons of power, I could blow the block away, like a real concert. They also have several switches for contour, and some other things, i forget exactly. But ...

Ok, Lewm.....I didn't realize where you were coming from. I was trying to help you anyway I can, since we both have TLZ cartridges. One thing that has been drilled in my head by the number 1 Grado Guru, is to set VTF at 1.62-1.65 Grams. As for the... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul, I cant remember how long ago it was, but after this happened, or when it happened, it was really about me speaking about my newly aquired NOS Shure V15VMR-LE...and a couple of guys got on me, saying that the Ortofon 2M Black or Bronze wou... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hey Lewm, Forget it. I didn't realize you had an attitude about this. You just told me you stumbled onto 100K by accident, and you liked the sound. In fact, you liked it better than the 47K default. Thats great. Im happy for you. If you dont care ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
LEWM, I am not referring in particular to mthe TLZ, I was referring to using 100K on all MM/MI cartridges.For example, the AT-440MLa has been widely agreed upon as 32k being the best load for that particular cartridge, and its a MM cartridge. I wi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, There are alot of guys over at the Vinyl Engine that dont take your posts on MM/MI being any better than MC cartridges, mainly because they disagree with your loading of everything at 100K. They claim that that is plain wrong, and you are lo...
