| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Although undeniably teleological, some listeners are more interested in relating to music in terms of immediacy, not what went before. Informed now of my error, Bach, Mark Knofler or even the frivolous Mozart are to be henceforth c... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? BlasFleibmy, says my audiophile cat Pi'sant! She says cartridges, like mullet or sparrows, when well prepared are separate but neither is necessary inferior. It's a matter of time, taste and setting. This differs from scientific classification, wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3, Fleib. Danny: Checked, the Akai RS-180 (AT14Sa) assembly is a drop-in for the AT13Ea. Have been casually seeking an orphaned 14Sa motor for trial with the 13Ea/155Lc stylus upgrade. At 2.7mv output, the 14Sa (Sa = Shibata) should ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Audpulse: Either the ATN-22 or 25 will work with your Signet. Both are capable of extracting minute detail, the ATN-22 is slightly (almost imperceptible) warmer than the 25. Hfs with the 25 are more translucent but I find (SS gear) it ten... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, DU: Good to hear from you!The ATN-25--- cobbled up a jig, overcorrected for the skew & left it for a couple of weeks. Stylus is useable with my Signet TK-9(LC) cart, prefer the ATN-22. Not sure if it's a stressed suspension for the '2... | |

Regards, Raul: SN wrote that they utilize a "staff that takes orders in volume and distributes worldwide", that SN employs a "technician just for testing purposes", and that "our shipping agent found your order misplaced on a back shelf".

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Acman3: No comment as to authenticity of StereoNeedles offerings, only transaction with vendor took 3 mos. & numerous emailed reminders, SN finally sent an ATN-25 stylus with skewed cantilever. When exchange was requested, vendor's re... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Regards, Halcro: Good to hear you're enjoying the Frankencart. If given a name, as is sometimes done, Serendipity would be appropriate. Like John Bunyan's hero Pilgrim, some wander, hoping for a certain destination but meanwhile find the way strew... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Regards, Halcro (Suteetat, nicely written):If it is accepted that taste is developed and sustained through exposure to a variety of musical forms or presentations, then it might subsequently be proposed that taste is an integral element in the sel... | |
