| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? One thing limiting about the SME 3009 II Improved with the fixed headshell is it's capacities in being limited to cartridge weight and VTF at 1.5, where Ecir's III has other capabilites even though it is a low mass arm. I like some of Raul's sugge... | |
| Dual 721 - Harman Kardon T-60 - which TT to keep? I own a mint 721 and a mint Thorens TD 125 MKII, and also a Kenwood KD 500. The 721 is a great table and the motor is highly respected as one of the better DD motors designed. The problem is the arm, there is a lot of plastic in the base, the heig... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew and Ecir, that is exactly correct at 6.5 grams. I like it so far.Again though, can we come up withany carts. that are either no longer made but more current then the ones being discussed, or how about from what is currently being made in MM ?T... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Right now I have a VMS20E MKII on my SME 3009 Series II IMP w/fixed headshell. This arm I believe has a mass of about 6 or 6.5. It would seem this SME not to be popular with many, but I am sticking with it for now. Most of the carts discussed here... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson and Downunder, I understand the Jico Shibata stylus made for this 881 body is supposed to be awesome, at least I am told. I had also gotten some good info from KABUSA concerning this cart and stylus differences and issues.I assume you a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? DgarretsonYou asked me about the Stanton, my cartridge is marked 881S, and the stylus is marked D81 II S. I have been reading more about these, and many of the later 881 where actually a cheaper eliptical stylus, instead of the Stereohedron. Any k... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgarretson,I have not tried the 881S MKII yet, as I just got the it, with 2 stylus. I am still trying to figure out this VMS20E ! But I have only read good about them.Wayne | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So, I have a Jolida JD 9 phono pre, stock for now, but I am deciding what other tubes to buy. I does have quite a few adjustments. It does though only have a 47K setting, along with some others for I believe mainly for MC carts.I have a Ortofon VM... | |
| Grace G-945 arm Any info ?? *****What other needs you have?, IMHO the effective mass value is almost useless.*****Raul, though does it not give a starting point s to what cartridges may work, such as older MM/MI vs. MC type carts. ? I do not do a lot of experimenting with ca... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well I wanted to try some of these MM/Mi carts. on a Jelco SA-250 S shaped standard arm, but I see that the arm is heavy mass arm at 20g. If you believe the resonance tables, the MM/MI carts I wanted to use won't work. Actually it seems to leave o... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e I never heard it anywhere either, no place to listen to it hear. BUT, this is the first thread were people honestly did not describe it as the savior to audiophiles everywhere. I love the sound of my NAD Master Series M5, more expensive then the S... | |
| Do Audiogon members like DIY cable projects? I would be interested. | |
| $20 XLR cables that sound good Audio arguments/discussions are always interesting. Somewhere in Stereophile, this month, I'll have to look for the exact article. But the comment in the article was that an Audiophile type person owns speaker Mark II, and is very happy with it, n... | |
| $20 XLR cables that sound good Seems Like Ralph needs some help on what he recommends, we obviously know more about his products then he does. Maybe when you buy an amp for 15K, he thinks you need to save a buck on Mogamis. I doubt he has ever listened to them, we know better. ... |
