| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Lewm,Yes, I did it but I drilled a hole. A person at lencoheaven.net website did the mod without drilling and you can view pictures of how he did it. I also found the mod to be nice upgrade. Thanks Johnnantais! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree Lewm, and if the DT protractor nails down perfect pivot to spindle distance that is a big plus. Easier to use and the ability to try different null points are more benefits compared to the MintLP. I don't think that just because the tonear... | |
| Garrard 301/401 audition request You can try a Lenco,see lencoheaven.net website.If you are the DIY type the Lenco is an excellent choice.A Lenco is now Arther Salvatore's(sp?)new "reference"Some people sold their Linn after hearing a replinthed Lenco.Good Luck | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I guess this means the Signet midline models are better than the top of the line moodels?I have the TK9e and heard it with the orignal stylus and two different AT stylus.I like it but I have other cartridges that are better in my set up. Anybody ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? How about a list of arm and headshell/cartridge combinations that perform at the 10++? level,that way folks that have a certain tonearm model could look for specific cartridges or vis versa,or does this depend on the rest of the system? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro and friends, What is the difference between the FR64 and FR66 besides eff. length,mass and price?If they both have the same bearing type etc. shouldn't the FR64 be better for high compliance MM.Do you have woofer "pumping" when playing w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Inna,Woops,the Astatic MF 100 is sold. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Inna,I had the Shelter 501 it had a nice midrange but lacking in highs(treble) and lows(bass),also It never tracked inner grooves that well in my set up,with some of my records I couldn't even listen to the last track.This was before I got a Mi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Good question Downunder,I think maybe why I find my Technics P100C MK4 more than just a little better than my Empire 4000DIII is because of the design of the the 100C which I think is not that sensitive to loading.It is a low inductance design wit... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,Are you going to try the EPA 500 tonearm on your Lenco?I would guess your Dynavector is a better arm,but maybe it would be interesting to try the Technics anyway.I keep wondering what I may be missing not owning a better tonearm.And for yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think Halcro's post is honest,he is a good writer and obviously passionate about music and this hobby.After all just like Raul and others posting to this thread none are trying to sell anything just being honest and trying to express the sound t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Frogman,Interesting,that is why I like my two Empire models, 4000DIII Gold and EDR.9,very dynamic and fun to listen to and color the sound some,but all cartridges do and I think a more nuetral cartridge could be a little boreing in comparison.I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I hope it works out for you.I bought this Technics tonearm because it is so easy to use(VTA and antiskate on the fly,ease of VTF adjustment)compared to the Origin Live tonearm I had and thought it would be better for MM type cartridges,not... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HI Lewm,My last post was a failed attempt at a little humor.When I first got back into vinyl,I "learned" from websites like this one that MC cartridges are the best type,,MM cartridges are nothing special.Before this thread I never even considered... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? MM's are the best!The heck with expensive step-ups,extra wires,messing with loading only to sit there and keep thinking "it don't sound right" my $80.00 MM cartridge beats my $1500.00 MC,"hands down" :) |
