| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings Rual: and,Hi, Axel, you don't miss a thing. Hope I can answer your questions. 1: the V15-111 has been my standard for 20 some years, the SAS stylus is the best REPLACEMENT (or original) I am aware of.2: Visual and dimensional comparison ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Rual: I have a Shure M97xE on my backup Dual CS-5000, typically used to test used lp's or when belt drive seems more appropriate for the selection. It is a very listenable cartridge, especially at its price. For this cartridge, I received... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Regards, Axelwahl: Always glad to know if I have the Shure on the wrong foot, your opinion is respected. I should have clarified: 90% of my listening is casual, frequently from another room or while reading. Music is constantly present but is not ... | |
| Looking for help with a Vintage Black Widow arm. Infinity engineering intended the arm to have as little influence on the cartridge as possible. Marketing offered the thought "as if suspended in air". I had to have one. Infinity literature shows it wearing a Denon 103 but a cartridge with compli... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Regards, Alelwahl, greetings all: Gregm (I think) has the handle on this concern. To my simple understanding, lines in space can be either parallel or divergent. The angle of the cutter head varies from one producer to another, from one standard t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Raul. You always give me something to consider. Now, back to the capacitance thing. I dug out an old manual from about 1977, the following is part paraphrasing and part quote. "MM cartridges have resonance peaks at high frequences". The... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Axelwahl, you continue to make good points. It seems many things relating to vinyl playback are system/ear/PREFERENCE related, the objective being to make the system dissapear, leaving only the music. The Grace is perfect for the Paradigms, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I'm chastised! Your point about VTA is well taken. A retired instructor, my solutions usually involve fumbling, not those of a skilled technician. For VTA, I start with the tonearm down at the fulcrum and then raise it until the bass meets t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, Axelwahl: And Rual, thanks for your origional post and boldness in suggesting that "audiophile" sound reproduction can be had without going "boutique". Last night I played my vintage copy of TDSOTM with the Grace. I missed some of the b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Greetings, all. Thank you Raul and for your praise of the Grace F9-R(uby). I have listened to a F9-E for three days and it is the only cartridge I've had for a generation that displaced my Shure V15-111 for more than two. The high end is delicate ... | |
| Phonostage Question Clearaudio Nano (Paste from description), $350: It sounds just as great with moving magnet cartridges as it does with moving coils. Includes switches for MM/MC, a subsonic filter on the bottom and a unique gain level adjustment to mate the Nano wi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Axelwahl: You will make up your own mind about the Shure V15t3, but it has been my first choice for 20+ years. At first listen it will seem clinical, but after the first shock you'll notice detail most other MM carts. only hint at. There ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, you stated: "I like the 97 and prefer over the V15 Type V". I too enjoy the 97xE, it is a permanent fixture on my stand-by turntable. The V15xMR continues to gather dust, in favor of the V15-111/SAS and the 97xE. With further listening with ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, thanks for this thread, perhaps you or one of the knowledgable A'goners can answer my question. I am impressed by the performance of the Shure M97xE, but it seems to lack that last bit of authority found in certain other MM cartridges. I rec... | |
| Anyone have an opinion, Jico SAS stylus? I recieved the SAS stylus for my V15-111 two days ago and am hugely pleased with the performance. The sense of grainy midrange was corrected by the addition of a line/power conditioner. A remarkable improvment in texture was observed before the ne... |
