| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, Storyboy: Styli for 1xxx, 2xxx, 4xxx & 8xxx carts tested using a compass. No effect. Carts do have magnetic influence, the bass rich 8000 swings the needle from several inches away.Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nikola: Generic styli=caveat emptor. Quality is "all over the map". For the generics, VTF is given anywhere between 1.5 & 5.0gm downforce, the quality (and condition) of the suspension may be somewhat questionable.This vendor's inform... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Let me say (write?) how much I enjoyed your post. Next, (excuse me, Raul) disregard Rauls advice to send the AMS-20 stylus to Axel.
