| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Henry: Consider mechanically induced harmonics. These can be constructive or destructive. Raul's identification of a damping factor has the right "ring" to it, without the needed equipment for lab testing I think he's on to something. Bou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Thank you for the follow-up. Your previous "depends" statement still stands but in my experience (ancient rig/ears etc.) response without the o-ring seems to gain a glassy quality. Psychoacoustic? I really don't think so. Headshell ... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Regards, Halcro: Henry, I'm going to take sides. Both. Raul is largely correct when he says one cannot know until a combination is tried. There are surprises, such as the deadening of a Signet TK7LCa cartridge when tried on a carbon fiber shell, j... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: "Certianty": There are those who contend that in order to adequately describe events one must take into consideration the context of the social conditions at the time of the occurance. This seems to be a matter of convenience rat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, all and thanks for your comments. Pleased to see movement in the thread as Lew's reference to Ricky Nelson has resulted in the verse running constantly through my mind.Dgob: As I remember, Kant was a believer in moral duty. The refered to... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew(m): Good ol' Rick. "You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself". I think you've got this out of context. When this was written Nelson was somewhat bitter regarding the reception given his new work when presented in conce... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hey, Lew: Most sincere apologies if anything written offered offense, your post was (obviously) wholly in the information seeking mode. My "last sentence" was just a reflection that without being able to become personally acquainted with your outf... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew(m), and an addendum. There was something about your post that kept nipping at my attention. I finally realized it was your reference to the Miller effect, which would indeed explain why you might find a lower shunted capacitance prefe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew(m): Scientist! Anyway and again, but since it's you: 100% SS, I happen to prefer neutrality to "romantic". Overly analytical or bloated don't turn my crank either. YMMV. Phono stage is FET followed by RIAA eq. to within 0.02dB, arraye... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew(m): The Shure V15-111 is the only cartridge (in my posession) with a reco. cap. of 400-500 pF, at 100k it can sound somewhat glassy with a SAS stylus, 47k tames it. This is not so pronounced with an "e" or "he" profile. At the other e... | |
| Your favourite cartridge Signet TK7LCa. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: "Ramblings", I like that! Rambled three days across the state, now thirty minutes here. Henry, it's good to hear you've obtained the elusive TK7ea and find it satisfactory. Have you tried one of your LC styli with it yet? I've bee... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Just returned from three days in the Daniel Boone National Forest, the Red River Gorge is spectacular, the angling, rewarding without being productive. Early melt-off resulting in excessive current, less than optimal. Like cartridge... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hubris is a really good word. Going walleye fishing/hiking for several days, water still too cold to chance kayaking. All appropriate disclaimers, IMHO and gear dependent, but cold it definitely is. And wet. Just to a walleye's taste, and they, ro... |
