Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nandric,missed you and others. But to be honest, are we sometimes not behaving like old men? Talking about the same issues again and again. I know Raul is dreaming at night of Zero Distortion while we are favouring certain carts. Halcro has h... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Its always hard finding the right way in moderating a thread which came such a long way and comprises many old hands who may feel like a group.Besides of the topic we always touched other areas of interest. As I have and never had a negative feeli...

Micro seiki sx8000 versions
The new TechDas' technology which is now being offered at around 100k is based on the original Micro Seiki concept. The TW Raven is offering the arm board opportunities of the big Micros. So what do you get for the money when you are looking at th... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Dear Lewm,yes, the 5 way horns changed a lot and improved the listening quality. In the last days I was frequently asked why I am offering my Micro SX 8000 II, my love baby - by which my real passion with analogue audio started. It is very simple:... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Lawrence,even if this is the case as you described very well with the Lenco users this is not an argument against idler drives per se. Not all horn systems have a limited bandwith. I am a running a perfectly adjusted EMT R 80 idler with my modern ... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Mosin,an excellent summary you made which I will fully underwrite. Especially on idler drives many among us seem to have made not the best experiences and this is definitely due to the equipment they were working with. If you put a lot of efforts ... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Lespier,I agree! the long delay after moderators have finally agreed that our contributions will not lead to revolution on Audigon makes it very difficult following the discussion. It takes away some of the fun we had in earlier times. Living in a... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Regarding SUTs we should keep in mind it is a matching process. Two spools should meet each other in a well balanced way. Nevertheless I have found out with my 16 SUTs (last one is a WE 618B from 1940) that you need testing every SUT with the cart...

Shout out to Syntax - re: Delos
Guess we will see some more new tonearm designs this year. looks like designers are very innovative at the moment not only improving on MKV, VI, VII or VIII... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Viridian, you wrote:"So......you listen to turntables professionally? Where can I apply for that job?"sorry for my late reply. It was a kind of replic to all these guys who still believe that in the studios (so called professionals) they used pro-...
