| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Guys - not sure if you are aware of the JVC 4md-20x, but it's really an older Audio Technica, and sounds fab. Maybe not quite top tier (slight lack of delicacy), but damn close. There's one 4 sale here at the Gon now. Will not dissapoint.No affili... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The MF-100's you all have been studying do not sound like the 2 I own, or you are not examining carefully. The 100 has a completely different cantilever to any other Astatic. It is tapered a great deal and has part of it cut away on the backside w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If the cantilever's azimuth is twisted, i.e. not 90 degrees, then a more complicated diamond profile may indeed show peculiar mistracking distortions, sibilance being #1. If it is leaning left or right of the center line, it may also experience no... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, I doubt that Lewm is correct. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi John,the reason for your findings is most likely attributable to the low moving mass of most IM carts, and I agree with you. Only the rare earth MM's like 881s, F9e, and mf Astatic approach the likes of the Ortofon's, XLM's etc. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So much for Bible writers... I've taken them apart, they are induced magnetism. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Empire carts you referenced have induced magnetism and are not moving magnets. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 'S u b s t i t u t i o n', synonyms, preservation of truth. ok, whatever. IM=induced magnetismMI=moving ironMM=moving magnetMF=moving fluxAll of which have far more in common than aspiring rocket scientists realize.My apologies to all 'victims' of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "none of their MM cartridge in fact have a magnet on the stylus!! - They are all VMS / MI cartridges"Sorry Di - this is wrong. Every one I've examined, excluding MC's, have magnets on the end of the cantilever. This includes everything from M15's ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rual,your arrogance is in wishing him no greater height than the 103r. People afflicted with an excess of it need an occasional admonishment (and usually dismiss it unless they have humility running through their veins). You could learn from Acman... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul," If the 103 is your champion certainly you deserve it that king of performance level and nothing more. "this statement reveals your arrogance, which is usually couched within your heapin' helping of benevolence.Since the mf200 (I've had 2) i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It would be nice if Raul would answer the charges, or at least make an attempt to kiss and make up. | |
| VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better? Vibrations can be remediated in this regard. A moongel or sorbothane type pad can be placed underneath the motor pod - remove the rubber feet.I believe the 600 rpm motor has twice the torque of the 300 motor. I have no 'vibration' problems. When I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Gentlemen -My manufacturers info says:P8e = ellipticalP8es= elliptical nudex8s = replacement stylus for P8es"complete stylus interchangeability" from 6 thru 8 | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? if you are are going to bother at all with a Stanton 881, look for the 881s and not the mark II - it is constructed much better w/ nude diamond and accurate azimuth (usually). |
