| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @dover , great to hear from you and thank you for your concern, but it was not I who made the comment re groove noise. In the endless debate about the relevance of the live music experience as reference, as @rauliruegas has pointed out this comme... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I like her for this simplicity at the service of the song **** Exactly. | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday I visited Andy’s downtown store many times while still a budding audiophile in the ‘80s. Always a terrific experience. My favorite shop in NYC. It was there that l met salesmen Steve Guttenberg (very nice remembrance from Steve above) and Bob ? as... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Apparently. You may find this interesting. Basic, but to the point: https://www.schoolofcomposition.com/what-is-tension-and-release-in-music/#:~:text='Tension%20and%20release'%20refers%20to,keeps%20the%20music%20moving%20forward. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Raul, I agree with what you wrote and I can only add that it goes even much deeper than that as concerns how rhythmic nuance is conveyed by audio equipment. Transient response is key, but only one piece of the puzzle it seems to me. And I do belie... | |

| EAR 834P Deluxe with Dynavector 20 HX H output Cart. I believe that is exactly what I wrote, but good to know that is Mitch’s recommendation. Btw, Mitch’s 834P mods are fantastic. I loved what his mods did for the sound of mine when I had it. Highly recommended! | |

| EAR 834P Deluxe with Dynavector 20 HX H output Cart. I know the EAR well. I don’t know what line stage you are using, but I tend to disagree with what you were told. I find it hard to believe that you would not have more than enough gain with the Dyna’s .3 db output into the EAR’s MC input. The EAR ... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? It is unfortunate that some feel that because reproduced sound will never sound EXACTLY like live music, to strive for a sound that is as close as possible to that experience (certainly as concerns the two most important aspects of music, rhythm a... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? OK, let’s try and get back on track and away from the typical nonsense that seems to often creep into these threads. For whatever it may be worth, some thoughts and opinions based on my personal experiences with cartridges of every persuasion (MC... |
