| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Edainwestoc: You've made a statement that perhaps a quote from an informative thread at VE would help answer: "Increasing the capacitance will lower the frequency of the resonant peak and start the high frequency roll off at a lower fre... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Following Downunder's suggestion, I've increased downforce to 1.3gm and am rewarded by an increased robustness in presentation. Both the Signet and AT are very unforgiving of set-up error, phasing is more evident than with any cartr... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Regards, all. I've been following this thread with interest and am reminded of this site:http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/sp10plinth.htmlAs there are some familiar names mentioned, I'm sure several of the knowledgable posters here are aware of thi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, Travbrow. I've enjoyed listening to both the AT22 and Tk9, exchanging styli has little outcome concerning the performance of either, both are micro elliptical. The AT cartridge has greater mass and seems slightly more refined, the S... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, Downunder: I've been listening to a recently acquired AT22, articulate without being agressively analytical, nothing in it's response is exagerated. Downunder, I like your description: "just a tad laid-back". 250pF allows the AT22 a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Downunder: For your AT25, another option:http://www.pickupnaald.nl/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=382&category_id=You may find it interesting to view (scroll down the page, your querry about both assemblies being silver might be an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: I'm hopeing for the best with this but if things don't work out it wouldn't be the first time the thrill of the chase exceeded the reward at the (turn)table. VE cartridge database shows the same tracking downforce, output and impeda... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Travbrow.Thanks for the installation tips and the gift of your time needed to respond. I hope replacement is not required and if so, that my "windfall" stylus is correct for the application. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow:Thanks for the insight. Without the mfgr's documentation it is, for me, frequently a guessing game in reviving these well regarded classics. I confess some of my efforts have resulted in questionable re-incarnations but suspect I'm not th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. As it is said, experience counts. I applaud your generosity in your willingness to share yours. The last electronics store in the area to carry analog related items offered me their entire stock, an "offer I couldn't refuse". Includ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3:Danny, all. An addendum to the previous post: the cantilever for the 440MLa is tapered alloy. Nude square shank micro line stylus. It is probable there are similarities in cartridge body dimensions of the MR5.0, AM10/20-50 but output differ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3. You're correct about the Tk9/10 sharing the same design as the AT25. Turntableneedles.com shows the same stylus for either application. Other than word of mouth I've not been able to find much accurate information. Thanks for the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman. Several comments I've read indicate the MR 5.0 is a good one, but then I've not read anything negative about any Signet. Some approving comments about their tonearms too. I've been listening to the AM20 cartridge for a week now. So... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul. Open discussions of damping, bearing friction and eff. mass were just beginning in 1975, as was the popular understanding of the impact on playback quality. Designs available to the high-end consumer seem to have followed innovation... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3: Greetings, Danny. Please do refresh on the Signet when you find the time. I have one MR 5.0 "basic" stylus, four of the "E" model and even more of the "ME" (micro elliptical, nude mount). So many of the AM10 & 20's I feel somewhat guil... |
