Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Listener614,Interesting,which MM and MC models did you compare? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Wdi, I thought of that too but my MM cartridges with original compliance specs of 20 to 30 work great with the low and medium mass armwands of my Technics EPA 500 tonearm.I never tried a high mass arm,because I don't own one. Maybe a dumb quest...

Thanks Siniy123, Bluz Bros(Adelcom.com)either lied to me and are rip-off artist,or possibly were lied to(and didn't know any better)from that Japanese seller they told me they bought these"TK10MLIII" needles from. Anyway,this also tells me that I ...

Hi Raul,Timeltel To add more confusion,my Original ATN24/25 stylus which came packed in a Audio-Technica box containig a plastic container(clear on top white on sides)also marked Audio-Technica,so I assume this has to be an original,I think.But,my...

I was told Jean Allaert can retip and rebuild the Technics 100C.I was also told that since the Technics 100C has the lowest tip mass of any cartridge and one reason it performs so well that a retip with a heavier diamond could result in lower perf...

It seems that you need to be "lucky" to get hold of this Technics P100C MK4 cartridge.They sell so fast,I check ebay a couple times a day and missed this one.Surprised that these used samples are going for this much money. I think I got a good dea...

Hi Raul, When i wrote "dirty AC" I meen RFI noise that is present in house wireing,some comes in from the main service line,some generated by apliances in your house and the audio equipment also generates it. Dedicated lines are great,I also did t...

Hi Raul, I agree,fuses and connectors degrade performance more than one would expect.For connectors and fuses I can't eliminate,I been useing Walker SST.I ordered some Extreme Audio Quick Silver Gold to try also. Another area to look into is dirty... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thanks Timeltel,I see some models do call for high capacitance.Maybe this is why the Shure V-15IV I had didn't float my boat.Anyway,most of my models are rated at 100pf.The Technics 205CIIX and 205CII for example both have a frequency response gra...

Hi Guys, I was running the 10ML stylus at 1.2gms.I remember running a higher tracking force and it didn't improve the balance issue.I will retry it at some time and make sure it was not a set up issue causing this.I think the balance was off more ...

Hi Raul, I own a Signet TK9 and been useing a TK10MLIII stylus I bought from adelcom.net with it.It sounded pretty good but the balance was off leaning to the right channel.When useing this cartridge I just adjusted the balance with my preamp.Also...

Timeltel, The plastic installation guide is to be placed over the cartridge body,this should alighn the stylus assembly.Make sure the two magnets are lined up to fit inside the body,they should be when useing the guide.Then just snug up the screw....
