| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I personally am not surprised to hear that MC carts sounded better through vintage equipment, just as many of us are finding vintage carts to sound better through modern equipment. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I also am running my Empire 4000 DIII/Gold at 1 g, any more than that sounded too thick. VTA is very slightly positive, though the arm lift on my Morch is in the way of trying an extremely positive VTA like Raul recommended with the Ortofon M20FL. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow,Good point on the tracking and your assertion that the current compliance is likely close to the original specs or these carts would not track at the specified VTF; the evidence seems to agree. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for the tonearm suggestions Halcro and Dgob. The Morch red dot is an interesting idea; saving money is always good. I agree with Lewm that the FRs would never had crossed my mind. I seem to recall somewhere in the last 60 pages some questio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I recently purchased an Empire 4000D/III Gold and have it on my Morch DP-6 green dot and have found it to be a significant step up from my Ortofon M20FL and Azden YM-P50VL as previously reported by Raul and others.Which leads me to my question to ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In my system, my impressions are that the Azden and the Ortofon M20FL are both very good, and that they have more similarities than differences; but I would give the edge to the Azden for being a bit more resolving than the M20FL. For example, one... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? About the Morch, I can speak to the 9” only, it seems to be a great match with my Azden P50VL and Ortofon M20FL. A couple of torture tracks that I use are Motorcycle Mama on Neil Young’s Comes a Time and Hello Stranger on Emmylou Harris’ Luxury Li... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In my own experience, while the Ortofon M20FL is still a keeper, I did detect a slight upper mid-range grain which I do not hear with the Azden YM-P50VL. Perhaps I did not spend enough time with the Ortofon, and maybe I just happened to nail the s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I am glad to hear that the Azden is working well for you now, especially since I purchased one earlier this week. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Raul and Lewm, but there's really not a lot to that Lenco plinth. I just glued together two maple cutting boards that I came across (does anyone else ponder the audio system possibilities while the wife is taking them through Bed, Bath, and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Has anyone tried a p-mount on a Morch regular armtube (non-precision)? I have avoided the p-mounts for a couple of reasons: 1) I am quite happy with the M20FL that I recently bought, 2) I am not sure that the narrow mounting area of the Morch regu... | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Just out of curiosity, what is the limit for impurities in the lab grade water? It has been a decade or so since I worked in a lab, but if I recall correctly the specification for Purified Water USP was 1 ppm total dissolved solids. This is the wa... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 52 plus HSU 2 sub or NHT 2.9 or I used to own NHT 2.9s, and while they can put out very tight bass if you have an amp that can handle them, I eventually sold mine after tiring of the overly aggressive top end. I had a solid state amp at the time that may have been a significant... | |
| Best affordable phono preamp? Blake, Are you referring to the Wright Sound or Wright Audio phono pre? Ive read several positive comments from various sources, but Im never sure which company is being referenced. | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer So, do all of you just happen to have your PC in the same proximity as your TT? Mine is not, and I realize its not the end of the world, but moving the TT and phono pre to the PC is another hassle. Is there a simpler way to an IPod and then to th... |
