| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: Thanks for the time I know it took for your report, the comparison with other cartridges gives perspective to each. I concur with much of what you've written. I'm struggling however with the thought of introducing digital correct... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Dlaloum: Your post of 12-27 is well thought through, the comparison of reproducer/musician is an adequate tool for categorization, should one wish to do so. Many here are graduates of the "school of the educated ear" and yep, tuition can ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew: Pleased to hear you're finally able to enjoy your Acutex. Amazing, what this flimsy looking little thing can do when in the groove. Loading? Suggest 47k/200pf for the 320, I know it's electrically inconsistent but the 315 really grab... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, DU: The venerable Shure M44E is bass heavy. Capacitance at 300pF and res. at 100k helps in balancing midrange harmonics, hf apparency. The AT440MLa has, for many, the effect of fingernails on a chalk board. Many reports of a more satisfac... | |

When you started rebuilding your system last year:02-17-09: Listener614"---returing to Audio after a long hiatus. I'm building a system starting with th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Wdi, Lew: Ya'll putting the cart in front of the force? Extend your considerations to something like the Sonus line, famous for spitting cantilevers all over your vinyl, or perhaps the AKG x8e/s, no tie wire and the thinnest imaginable da... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew(m): Anything I can forward about Precept is the consequence of hearsay or "intuition". That and three dollars will get you a cup o' joe at Starbux. Both Precept and Signet were AT "Signature" cartridges. In spite of the plethora of AT... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Lew: Devil's Advocate! Your comment "bulging midrange" brought a glance down, a xx" belt just isn't the same anymore. Must have to do with the transition to metric equivilent.Hopefully your rig is good to go now, family well and all in go... | |

After 36 hours of repositioning, the (hypothetical) ATN25 stylus's torqued suspension appeared sufficiently recovered to test again. Started with 1970's campy but well mastered "Kiln House". The ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? T-bone: Not fair! I've only seen the F-14 offered once (I believe it had the blue stylus grip) and had the same reaction, drawer queen! If replacement styli were available it would be a different kettle of fish but I have an irrational reverence f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi, DU: Considering the quality of machining, beryllium cantilevers and nude mounted natural diamonds of superb quality, "Pfansteil generic" is not a realistic concern. Styli purchaced in bulk were frequently without individual markings and otherw... | |
| Shure V15 III loading experiences 47k or 100k res. depending on the degree you enjoy hf detail. Shure recommended 400-500pF cap., mid. harmonics don't open up until loaded above 300pF, Stanwal is correct. If you're seeking a consensus, search over at AudioKarma, lots of afficiando... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. Appreciate your clarifying things for this perceptually challenged person, one who might appear to esteemed others to believe "purist" is something a chef reduces from tomatos. My bad. Any future addresses should be geared to the ac... |
