| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Regards, Dertonarm. The Shure ML-140HE might be considered as a candidate for top-tier MM. Not so sure about "with flying colors" but having survived almost fourty years of service, the Shure V15-111 deserves at least an honorable mention. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Jcarr: Thanks for taking the time to share the info. on cantilevers. Just finished listening to a Grace F9-L. 5.0mv output, alu. cantilever/LC stylus. There is a market for well designed MM carts. The Grace seems like a good one. Any info... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dgob: Someone mentioned my "name"?Internal logic. Nationalities, cultures, languages structuring thought patterns. What little I know about it is intriguing stuff. I saw many students with different behavioral sets learn to work together ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe sibilance and glare of outrageous distortion,Or praise pickups and arms amidst a sea of opinion,And claiming subjectivity end them? VTA on the fly, too steep, too little; and by a slip ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? For Nikola, who enjoys great literature.Round about the platters go; Into the mix fine details throw.— Add VTF, that cartridge must have weight, Must be an Ion, Turns a minute, it has thirty-eight. Aligning now and sleeping not, Rest not now, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: There is perhaps an element of Socratic dialectic in your question? Bertrand Russell distinguished "knowledge by acquaintance" from "knowledge by description". This might be somewhat analogous to Carolus Linnaeus' coining of the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Thanks for your comments. BUT: I'm firmly convinced there's a concern with your TK7 example. It takes a fairly vigorous thump directly on the headshell to get even a mild response through the rig here, microphonics as a problem simp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Pre-digital influence and some relative events. Once, during a casual dinning affair, a young father at a nearby table placed a napkin on his head. His daughters, one amused and the other somewhat taken aback, asked why he did this.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Raul: I've been following the conversation and as there seem to be two different design philosophies I thought this might be of interest to some.From "LesW", designer of the Shure ML140 HE: "The holy grail with things like carts and speake... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dgob: The wrongly maligned :) BW sounds great with the XLM-11 but in it's current location acoustic feedback initiates an intolerable resonance. There is however much to be investigated concerning the impact of various materials between p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, John Gordon: If comparisons are to be made of a TT/TA to a musical insturment, my antique Black Widow tonearm with an ADC XLM-11 Imp. cart is so succeptable to resonance/EMI it can be played like a Theremin. But, when there are no sunspot... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: If you're thinking of transplanting the stylus be sure to take a look at the link Dlaloum posted yesterday. This is an effective visual aid. It is imperative that as much of the thread sealing paint, lacquer, whatever, is remo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: Thanks for the kind words. The transplant operation is not for the faint of heart and also your reluctance to significantly modify the scarce TK7SU Signet grip is understandable. For a simpler and cost effective means of accom... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griff: #3 stylus grip won't physically fit the 15xe cart, closest compatible replacement would be an ATN20SLa. One can transplant the #3 stylus to the xe's grip but no coffee less than two hours before the operation. The AT15xe is a good ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: First, a clarification: NEVER heard either the AT95 or the Virt. However. When considering the AT95 relative to the Clearaudio it might be remembered that we all share 98% (sometimes more, it seems) of chromosones with a gorilla. Lo... |
