| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Davev: Be my guest, glad the link was of use. I suffer from similar symptoms, evidence of my sometimers disease. Agree with your thoughts concerning the V15-111, it's very accurate, fast while suprisingly warm IMHO. The midrange may be ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, you asked: Dear Timeltel: Do you already try a " high " VTA/SRA with that cartridge? how high? performance differences?Originaly at 1.1gm, 200pF total and tonearm up 3 - 4mm, my 1000ZE/X's strength was in the bass and mid to 5-6khz, the hfs ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, All. Royj, I give homage to your level of involvment concerning this subject. Our posts crossed on the moderators' desk. My response to Axel is in regard to the S1000ZE/X-ERD, and is from information provided by Empire. The ERD designat... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Axel: Raul is correct, this is the code for the replacement stylus. "S" designates stylus, "E" for elliptical, "D" for diamond. Example: S909/X-RD is spherical, S1000ZE/X-ERD is a hand polished .2 x .7 mil. micro elliptical diamond. For t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Apologies, Raul: Mr. Colloms' (1977 production only) recommended/not lists and your choices are not far apart. The info. concerning cartridge loading is somewhat technical, but agrees with your findings.www.bostonaudiosociety.org/pdf/bass/BASS-06-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jaspert, re M20FL: Too impatient to wait for delivery of my order, I borrowed a Sumiko magnesium headshell with silver leads, placed a thinned peice of mastic (modeler's clay) on top of the cartridge and seated my M20. Nylon washers between the he... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: The Ortofon sounds as if the vocalists are outside, it's not the season for caroling. I will wait for the mag. headshell and silver leads, then try one with more mass. I have a developing sense that each M20FL has it's own personali... | |
| How do I remove the platter from a Technics SP-25? Like the previous posters, I enjoy both. My SP-25 with an Infinity Black Widow TA has suffered at my hands since 1979 and is a great combo. As Mikkelbreiler states, the SP-15 has a reputation for damage to the shaft through forcing the platter off... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul: Recieved a NOS Grace F9-L (luminal-trace stylus), the enclosed F9-x instruction sheet contains information some may find of interest. The F9-E, U, D, and P cartridges all have output of 3.5mv., the "L" is 5.5mv. Freq. resp. is as fo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Raul, Dgob. Thanks for your confirmation. I am hearing a relaxed, almost effortless presentation with the M20FL. However, bass seems slightly muddled with hesitant transitions in the 4-6hz range. Hf's are crisp with excellent definition. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Raul. Re the M20FL, if I can borrow this; "Now, as important is the cartridge load ( impedance/capacitance ) set up as important are all the other " normal " cartridge set up parameters". This is one finicky cartridge, perhaps the most... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards. In recent rotation, AKG P8E/X8S stylus. It's mounted on an ADC 9 gm. magnesium headshell. Cardas leads, 1.1 gm VTF, level VTA. Rich mids, crisp highs and with persuasive but unbloated bass. A Grace F9E, on a skeletonized Grace 7 gm. heads... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, if I may, Lewm's post of the 16th asks for replacement stylus for the AKG P8E. This is available from Jico. Search AKG P8E, eliptical is $49. Also, I must correct myself: the X8S stylus is eliptical, not shibata as I was informed when purcha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Can I take back what I said earlier about Raul's posts being shorter than mine? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Seasons Greetings Rual and yes, Axel, you have both "hit the nail on the head". It seems that most who post on A'gon accept that for many, subjective preference factors relate to performance assesment. Pleasure is difficult to quantify, statistics... |
