| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: Both, IIRC, made by Piezo, Japan. As were, again IIRC, several Empires, some of which shared styli with the Azdens.One of our philosophically inclined contributors suggested belonging to the group identified as "American Ratio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3: I too enjoy the TK7lca. The ATN155lc stylus is slightly more damped than the OEM stylus, this results in an almost imperceptably veiled performance without penalizing the very nice midrange response and also allows an appropriate ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi, Henry: Your experience with the LPM 315 just isn't typical of the cart and it is such a unique performer you have cause to be disappointed. If the cantilever remains on-axis when engaged, perhaps there's a fault with the stylus. Channel balanc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul/Frogman: My Acutex 420 arrived yesterday. It shows the example I already had (and thought well of) was worn. I believe among those who ordered one there are going to be some very pleased listeners. Dynamic without unpleasant exaggera... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Frogman: Closing things down here & just caught your post. These went like "hotcakes" after Danny's thoughtful anouncement of availablility, hope the 420 meets your expectations. It will be a pleasure to compare notes.Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: I think the compliance rating for the Acutex carts is a myth, this cart seems to like a upper-mid mass TA. Tried the LPM 415 on a stand-by Denon DP-60L w/5.5gm eff. mass arm, it was a disaster. Too bad as the Denon is a very "air... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3: Not to worry. The well used LPM 420STR I found several mos. ago has impressive resolving abilities without seeming overly analytical, the sense of presence is noteworthy and like the LPM 320STR-111, tonally accurate. The Acutex do... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Acman3 (Hi, Danny) has identified a vendor offering the Acutex LPM 420 at a very reasonable price. I ordered one last night. He has just put ten more up, BIN. Even though already in possesion of a 420, the cart is good enough (IMHO)... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Regards, Dlaloum: TA = ToneArm. Vibration analysis is such a complicated branch of physics there may be a few professionals who can understand all of it, you can be assured I'm not one. Perhaps not a "black art" but it is a subject prone to genera... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Regards, Halcro: On the Orsonic, prices seem to have leveled out, perhaps becoming even more affordable. Hmmm. As to the Yamamoto ebony HS, it is a wonderful match for the Signet TK7lca, as you suggested. I also find the Orto. LS-8000 Japaneese oa... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Regards, Dlaloum: Company Name: OrsonicCompany Status: Dissolved Company Type: Private Limited Company Incorporation Date: 17/05/1996 Dissolution Date: 01/05/2007Nearly five years after dissolution, supplys of the AV headshells seem to be holding ... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Regards, Frogman: IMHO, nice catch. I believe you'll find the 412 has a better grip on the bass than does the very nice Azden YM-P50VL. Mids will be presented with good clarity and the HF's detailed without being worrysome. BTW Frogman, outcome de... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Regards, Nandric: It gets even worse. In 1980, Acutex offered seven carts with (other than color) identical apperance. There were the LPM's (four models) and also the "Standard Series" M206-11 (white grip, conical), the M207-11 (grey, .3 x .7 elli... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Regards, Nandric: AFAIK, with the M3xx (square) carts, output impedance is 2700 Ohm instead of the 610 Ohm with the LPM 3xx carts, or the LPM 4xx carts with 710 Ohm output impedance. IIRC, the "M"'s are also higher output, 4.0mv compared to the LP... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Regards, Nandric: One purpose such reports serve is to reintroduce cartridges some (such as me) might consider of exceptional design. Acutex LPM 320-111 STR:Freq. resp./20-20k +- .75 dB. Broadband resp. 20-45k Hz. IM distortion 1.2%. Channel bal. ... |
