| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Chris: Suggest you look elsewhere for your next cart. Nikola is by his own admission inseparable from the one in question. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Slaw: A suggestion, if I may. Try a piece of electrician's tape between the stylus assembly and top of the engine. 1/8 x 1/4" is more than sufficient. As to compliance, not sure how Acutex determined their stated cu, marketing dept. maybe... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation OT & apologies, Bydlo: I wrote, relative to something I read about MM carts being more forgiving through the mid to top end: "I heard a ("a" = singular, one) cart that rolled off at 18kHz, a veritable festival of resonance, it was a MC with a ... | |
| "Harder" cartridge recomendation Regards, Bydso: "Lacta alex est" - The die is cast, forgive me I can't resist. Out of water, an octopus is an ungainly, flaccid, pulpy mass with stringy tentacles, knobby suckers and bulging eyes. In the water, it is a thing of grace, endowed with... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Regards, Gentlemen: Ct0517 (Chris) referenced me to this thread, I've read it with interest. Not having an air-bearing tonearm, I feel somewhat like an interloper, but as I'm familiar with the Acutex carts, and although the 420STR is no longer ava... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nikola: It's easy, just a matter of knowing the right incantations, the correct parts and a properly calibrated caldron to stir them in.Poem, by Henry Gibson.Stylus of a Shibata snake,Cantilever at the coil will shake;Banish overshoot add... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, CT0517: Sounds like an interesting shivaree (just for you, Nikola, derived from the French, Stltrains already knows). The "Italian" does have an offering for both the 312 & 412 carts, as well as the 415 which I still cannot bring myse... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nikola: Send your "incredible" cart to me! Currently experimenting with replacing mounts with wood. I think you'll agree you've never heard it sound like it does when returned. ;)Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Understood, and your comment on the level of system performance is also unarguable. If the condition of "Purist" is the highest state of audiophile evolution, please remind yourself that comments relative to the Grace (I've two, the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: "IMHO this depends on each audio system quality level performance."Nicely phrased but I'm not buying entirely into it. Try an AT440MLa at 100k, you may want to cover your ears first. ;)Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew: It's recognized MM carts have resonance peaks at high frequencies. The height of these peaks can be varied by changing load resistance. Resonance frequency, or the center of the peak frequency, can be altered by changing the load cap... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds, Raul, Acman3: Thanks for your efforts, guys. It would be nice to have a spare for retiping.Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, all: Either a cart is the "same as", or not. Was hoping someone might compare the stylus assemblies from Pearl, Shelter, Cambridge/Garrott 77 & Grace F9, confirm the stylus assembly for the above were compatible, or not. Not quite as ... |
