| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? The things that make me wonder,why some of the new "state of the art" cartridges are not much better than some of "state of the art" models from 20-30 years ago,according to some who can actually afford to buy the new top models.If CD would have b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,nice review,I had a feeling the EPC-100MK4 would be your choice as the top cartridge,once you gave it a listen.I have been looking for one for a couple years now.I saw one on ebay a while back,an integrated headshell type,I think it sold f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,the highs I hear from the Azden are quite good.I didn't try and fine tune the set up yet,I will get some hours on it first before I experiment with the adjustments.I don't have adjustable capacitance loading with my phono stage(World-D... | |
| The merits of slate plinths or not Hi,did you ever check out the lencoheaven.net website,there are a few who switched from wood to slate that would help you with your question. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have been useing my Andante P-76 alot recently.I still like it.Seems more involving to listen to than my Technics 205CII cartridges,a more dynamic sound with more high frequency extension.I think the Technics has a more natural overall tonal bal... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,been listening to the Azden P50VL.With only a couple hours on it,it is sounding very fine.I modified the adapter for direct connection to the cartridge pins.I think it is better than my Signet TK10MLIII.It's hard to believe a cartridge at ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,you are probably right.I wasn't sure where the the P500 models stood in the Technics cartridge line.I just purchased two new cartridges,the Azden P50VL for me and a P50C for my father,he doesn't have an expensive hi-end system so I figured... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Correction,T4P,just meens P-mount. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Anyone ever try a Technics P500 or P550 TP4 cartridge.The 550 has a boron cantilever like the 205C-MKIII and MKIV.Feguency response 10-55,000,2.5 mv output,dynamic compliance 12x10-6cm/dyne at 100Hz.The compliance is the same as the 205c models.We... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Me too,I think I bought the last 50VL version,there is a 50C version for a lot cheaper $49.00. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm,I think most of the people who bought a P-76 already posted their thoughts on it's performance,and part of the "excitment" over it was the very low price.The reason you are not seeing more posts regarding the P-76 is they are now hard to f... | |
| Technics EPA-500 users Thanks guy's,yes no "easy" way to adjust azimuth with this arm is the only thing I don't like about it,but the upside there is one less thing to tinker with.The headshell can be adjusted,although fine tuning it is a major pain.I removed the headsh... | |
| Technics SP-10 MKIIA tonearms Hi Radicalsteve,thanks for your input.I guess that's why the EPA-100 usually sells at a higher price.Was your EPA-100 rewired?The A250 is an S shaped armwand with detachable headshell just like the EPA-100 and is used on the EPA-500 base.I have se... | |
| Technics SP-10 MKIIA tonearms I think it would depend on the type cartridge one is useing.The EPA 100 would be a better match for the high end MC's that most people seem to use.The EPA 500G is rare and may perform as good or better than the EPA 100 with the low compliance MC's... | |
| What MM cartridges have you used with OL Silver Hi,I owned a OL Encounter and believe it's the same(medium)mass as the Silver.I used Empire EDR.9,AT ML170,and a Signet TK10MLIII with good results.Most MM carts with not so high compliance should work fine.I think a lower compliance MM cart like ... |
