| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Waynefia: Too early to say with certainty. A minature .2 x .7 elliptical on micromass cantilever offered really solid bass, the kind that impacts the solar plexus. Good bass, as in the controlled kind. Visceral, I think they call it. Soun... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dgob: A concern that's been debated for millenium. Absolutes exist but perfection remains a concept. Consequently there is a scale of evaluation, for validity it should be based on classic values and grounded in knowledge and experience. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Banquo363: Bravo! Relativism remains an open question. If there are no subjective criteria of evaluation, nothing distinguishes a Shakespeare play from a comic strip. The equalizing of all hierarchies might be viewed as the end of all cul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Thuchan: The TK3ea should be a welcome addition to any collection, esp. with two NOS styli. Enjoy!If I may, a semi-allegorical addendum to your observations on wireing. Several years ago, having become aware of the comparative qualities o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Montepilot: You have found me in error. ATN155LC is correct. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. By the usual Pfansteil code, that would be 208-DEX. A photo is available at TurnTableNeedles. No association.Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And: Regards, Travbrow: The carts you mentioned all sport $200+ styli, the ATN150ML is what, $275?. This is the area I think the AT7V could stand improvement in and we all know the cost of replacement styli compared to a new cartridge. I'm not thr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: Alas, I've been struggling with J. J.'s "Ulysses" for several decades. Wrestling with Hegel makes better sense."Jones" walked by the good 'ol boys seated in front of the hardware store. "Well, he said, "my wife is going to have a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: I hope you enjoy the AT7V. A cartridge that does everything nicely, and at this price point a welcome addition to my collection. One of the things I'm appreciating is the even distribution of response. The bass lacks the "gravita... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew: Just caught your post, as usual you are correct on all counts. Vacancy in vice guru position. Long hours, no pay. Want the job? Gotta' go for a bit, levee on one of the ponds needs maintenance (Walden #1), muskrats have turned it int... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: There are two basic cantilever carriers (stylus assemblies, grips). Those with the round post at the base of the cantilever belong to the TK(x) series: TK1e is representative, it's corrolary in the AT brand is the AT120e. Next is... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Henry: Haven't had time to really sit down for positive evaluation, but I've raced through four styli to check for compatability. Other than the ATN155lc, the styli for the 7V, a 140lc, and a Signet minature elliptical have been tried for... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Thuchan. Masquerade, indeed. Is it so transparent? There go my plans for taking over the world. Interestingly, you comment on litzendraht wire. Not a fan of litz wire either, I took some time to find out why. Like most things, time has un... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Thuchan: I've some familarity with the TK5ea. Output impedance of 900 ohm is just above the range of most cartridges described as having a "sweet" midrange, consequently the resonances spanning the mids and hf's seem to me to run together... | |

Regards, Stupid Person:In Kritik der Urteilskraftwork [Critique of Judgement], published in 1790, Immanuel Kant maintained that taste is an autonomous realm independent from external influences, be they rationality or passions, as well as from con... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, Lew: Dig that thing out & see if it still has the brochure with it. Share the info & if you're ever down this way I'll treat you to a seven course meal. Around here that's a hot dog and a six pack.Peace, |
