Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1
Pcosta,I never made any negative remarks about the TW designs. I know Thomas Woschnik from the very first beginning he started with his first tables in Germany and I also followed the successful landing in the US market by the activity of Joe Cata...

Dear Pcosta,i hope you are not pleading for a "stay happy with what you have status". But do understand and accept if you a not engaging in a controversial debate. In my case I could then stay at home and forget exchanging ideas.Regarding the Micr... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nandric,the cartridge industry seems to becoming a family circus, Japan, Switzerland (with the diamonds and Benz), The Netherlands (linked to Switzerland), Germany (Clearaudio, EMT), Denmark (Ortofon) The US (Soundsmith), - and then some reti...

Dear Raul,my Micro Seikis SX 8000 II and the 8000 II have no problem with speed. Allnic and Timeline (red laser) stay still on the spot. Speed Stability is possible with these designs. You need to work with them. Maybe you did not in your Mexican ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Ortofon is using an aluminum cantilever for the Candeza Mono. The designer prefered this material for the Candeza. Wouldn't say it was a bad choice for this cart. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Nandric,I have not tested all Ikedas, the carts I know I will be able to say something. I prefer the FR-7fz and next the FR-7f of the old carts. I prefer the 9 Rex rather than the 9TT. The Rex is a MI design, the 9TT comes with a cantilever. ...

I would not go for the new Ikeda rather for the FR-7 designs or the 9 Rex Kawami.Going for a good Mono try the Ortofon Candeza Mono.

Maril555,besides of following a church-approach if DD or BD is better or even Idler-Drive I may recommend the MS.I have all drives and tested them very intensively. While the DD has some advantages a real Top Class Performance you reach with a wel... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Dover,agree on your thoughts and conclusions. While it is fun comparing MMs and MCs it might be worthwile concentrating on MIs, too. The Ikeda 9 Rex Kawami and the London Reference are currently two of my favourites. I believe you can reach g...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Ct0517,nice images! The artists, the instruments and the audience seem to be fine! The listening room is far away from being benchmark - window areas etc. It may be a live performance but its hard to believe that the sound is really good... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
A good system needs a good room. What we usually experience when working on our units is that we reach progress and we enjoy the result but what really makes a difference - also when it comes to Live Sound - is The Listening Room. I had people in ... 
MY Sonic Lab - Ultra Eminent BC LOMC cart
Agree Danwkw, you need breaking it in for a while. I have it now running in my SAEC WE-8000 ST using 350 Ohm resistors in the Boulder 2800. Sounds pretty balanced and warm. Really one of the Top Carts.www.audio16.com
