| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards. StereoNeedles? Many are satisfied customers. Ordered a stylus, repeated emails & three months to receive, it arrived with a skewed cantilever. Due to poor service, argumentative and borderline accusative statements made by their repre... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Hmm. So I used a pencil & fixed a plastic headed straight pin at each end. Let's call the "pivot" proximal, the other, the unconstrained end, "distal". Held the "pivot" pin and placed the other on a Boston Audio Mat2, the plastic pin heads dep... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Regards, John Gordan: As always, a pleasure to have your informed opinion. I do need to correct my first para., most recent post. Centripetal force *opposes* centrifugal force, to what degree is a variable. Peace, | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Regards, Omsed: Let's clarify the difference between centrifugal and centripetal force. Centripetal force is ANY force that acts to prevent an object from moving away from the center of an orbit, see http://www.diffen.com/difference/Centrifugal_Fo... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? "(Even) if dynamic friction magnitude were dependent upon velocity. Fact is dynamic friction is nearly independent upon velocity."A pivoted arm with overhang will seek the center of a blank (ungroved) LP. Would it not move towards the spindle more... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffidths: Peter Prichard (of ADC fame) felt nude mounted styli were prone to damage, he commented that pressure fitted styli were somewhat fragile and subject to becoming loose in the cantilever. Consequently his designs were of styli b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffithds: Hi, Don. Signet and possibly/probably Percept and ATs' entry-level Compas carts are exclusions. Forgot to mention caramel (AT-12 & 120e). Black is (AFAIK) always nude and with a jewel quality stone. Burgandy (140LCa), viol... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, all: Trouting for a week in North Carolina, lots to "catch" up on. Fleib wrote "I think the ultimate might be a magnet transplant on an exotic stylus." And cantilever. A visit to the periodic table of elements will confirm (if there has e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Griffithds:As I've found the reports about the Precept intriguing, a modest amount of research indicates the AT-13Ea at 4.2mV output/1200 ohm output impedance is comparable. An exception is the 13Ea's metal mounting shroud rather than the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nikola: The Akai RS-180 stylus was OEM'd by AT, the AT-14S equivalent. The Precept carts shipped from Stow, Ohio, the assembly/distribution point for Signet carts.There is evidence that, as the PC-180 was Akai's TOTL cart, it was also a s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Kostas 1: The book of MM cartridges is not yet concluded. There are players yet to be introduced. Many pretenders have been proposed but the rightful contender is not yet revealed.Sorry, Cliff's notes not yet available. Rather than "writi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Halcro: Some are interested in soundstage & detail. Others, bandwidth & brevity.Acman3 for mod is an excellent suggestion. Peace, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Griffidths: TK7Ea/7LCa, by my rough estimation only one or two a week were produced. Nice write-up on the Mission, I gained a real sense of your experience, wondered, could a faulty suspension be to blame?Raul mentioned 4 million + views,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Stltrains: What Henry said.Curious about the serial number, if over one thousand it'll be the first I'm aware of.Posts are still being held for review, how annoying!Peace, |
