| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards all: Have been looking at the Grace F-14 offered on a popular on-line auction site. Clear stylus grip is common to the "luminous trace" stylus, a little spendy for an unknown cart. I've a F9-L, luscious mids & hfs sparkle, a hint of co... | |

| looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar Regards, Rodman99999: No authority on the Q'up, it's my understanding that the auxiliary bases allow for broad matching of arm height, there are serations that couple the base and lifter body for smaller adj.'s. The tape is just added assurance th... | |

Regards, Halcro: My good friend Henry, I have to agree with your thoughts that if mechanical resonance is transferred from cart to arm or vice versa, something's awry. Your insistence on perfection is inspiring. As to mechanical resonance, like Cu... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, gentlemen: Thanks to all for your replies. It seems that I've a 4000 body of some description? If motors are the same, for all variations, then the cart can be accurately referred to as an Empire 4000? Equipped with the stylus, S-4000D/11... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: Apologies for yesterdays hurried post, the reference was, as you surmised, measuring tip mass through resonance without taking into consideration material used in cantilever construction.

As resonances may be of a c... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dean_Man, Nandric: Thanks for your input regarding the 881S. In the past, the Stanton/Pickering carts were viewed as broadcast DJ or homeowner quality, the mistake was mine. Lew's positive hints relating to the 981 inspired investigation.... |
