| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: Relaxed. Similar words: Warm, mellow, easygoing, laid-back.Antonyms: Tight, hard, rigid, harsh, severe.In audiophile-speak, warm, romantic or organic are "buzz words" implying a lack of accuracy, coloration, wooden, wooly, sme... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Dgarretsons' worrisome question, -" whether cantilever and stylus replacement (---) can raise the performance of more affordable mid-line bodies to surpass those $500 exotics.
