| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Masochist? Did someone whisper in your ear, the cursed EPC-U25 was given another chance to prove itself listenable? Although flagellation is, in certain circles, an acceptable practice under no circumstance is this particular torm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, All: Headshells? Recently realigned the Empire 4000D-111 on a boxwood headshell. Very clean bass, pleasing mids & balanced hfs. So pleased, the OEM 4000D-lll stylus on ebay was considered. IIRC $99.00. Visited my stock portfolio &... | |

Regards, Dover: Fleib made, earlier, the suggestion that it might be interesting to share notes concerning the characteristics of carts found to be of noteworthy performance.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Thanks for the cart info. The U25 came on an NOS Astatic headshell, the much (and correctly) maligned waffle type. It was so inexpensive I thought it a good opportunity to investigate the qualities of each. An AT13Ea with a NOS clea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dover: Damping or dumping, this is an instance where it is easy to agree with both theories but not nearly as much fun as arguing the point ad infinitum. It might be best to consider it on a case-by-case basis. Plastic mounts are not my f... | |

And Henry--I left out a "gloat" in my previous address, it was I assure you wholly unintentional.You will at some time treat us to one of your wonderfully entertaining reviews of the Shure?

LH-8000 wooden version, an EPC-U25 (half-inch mount) cart is causing me frustration. I hope you can give a fresh perspective.Tried with two styli previously, one reputedly "OEM". T... | |
