| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: "One who excells---is not compelled by other men". Sun-tzu. Raul, it's an open forum. Post as you please. Assuredly, others will do the same. Otherwise, might we rise above the name-calling?Thanks for the reference, to the best of m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: The cantilever transplant is a very "fiddly" operation, I've been sorely tempted to try an ATN155lc with the TK7SU but I have only three (which have become recently expensive) and wish to reserve them for the TK7LCa, my cartridge o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Still no citing of your reference? Sun-tzu: "--Knowledge cannot be gained from ghosts and spirits, inferred from phenomena of projected from the measures of Heaven but must be gained from---knowledge of the---true situation".Also, a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: Yes, I am just a humble learner. Consequently I have several questions about your last post concerning certain observations. What is lateral distortion? This is a term common to optics and the movement of earth, perhaps you would be so kind ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. It is simple. You don't care for the Signet TK7SU. I don't care for the anemic Signet TK9 or the AT22, or the distant sounding Ortofon M20FL, which you enjoy and this is fine with me. Further discussion is a waste of my time, better... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Fleib: Right you are, all counts. "Try it" is always the first thing. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Just caught your question, compliance figures for the AT were from VE, cartridge database. Just quoting an accepted source, from other sites for the TK7: Frequency response: 5-30,000 Hz. SEPARATION at 1 kHz: 30 dB min. Tracking Forc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: You're being very polite, and honest. Essentially, the TK7SU is the corrolary of an AT14/15SA. Other than compliance (30 x-- for the Signet and 9 x-- for the AT's) they are the same cartridge. Agree, the "big block" TK7SU is not sve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm minded of the conception of "house sound" associated with various gear, thankfully there are no legislations requiring one to appreciate a particular element in audio. As you obviously hold... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: "The AT 20SS fumigate the TK7s". The bloated bass seems typical to the cartridge before the suspension is broken in. Patience, Sir Raul. Compliance is 30 x 10cm-6 dyne, the cartridge tracks nicely at around 1gm vtf. A visit to VE's ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: "Different kinds of fun" come with the Empire 8000X/VE, grand bass, never a sibilant in the mids. The hf's are there but somewhat reticent in presentation, like a beautiful but bashful child. With the 2000E (red) stylus it'll not im... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, all. So, Axpona and then further south for two days at the tight infield road track at Daytona for SCCA (Sports Car Club of Am.) competition were really interesting. For those with an interest in such, a race prepared Subaru WRX sha... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Regards, T_bone: If I understand your point then an alignment with zero overhang would result in all relevent forces coming into balance at the spindle, progressively increasing overhang would bring "stasis" at incrementally greater distances from... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Regards, Mesael: Thanks for the link to "morsiani". The thought of skating forces increasing towards the spindle was not consistent with what little I understand about Newton's concept of centripital force.Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Neobop: I find it easier to set both VTA and capacitance by starting low and then increasing. Especially VTA as it is (for me) a more subtle influence.Peace, |
