| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Had a Virtuoso DTI back in the day and have very good memories of it. Really enjoyed it until my niece bumped the tt while it was playing & killed the suspension.The high output allowed me to feed straight into the preamp and omit the Klyne he... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm "So, Richard, are you inferring that the GP Monaco claims for the speed of their speed correction system are not so earth-shattering or envelope-pushing as one was led to believe, given what Goldmund did two decades earlier?"Goldmund didn't do it ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric , you asked about PRAT. Pace,rhythm and timing which was once the holy doctrine of the Linn brigade. I remember going to visiting a Linn dealer in the '80's and during the demo the moment the music would start, the dealer's foot would star... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? LewmMaybe Axel soaks the cartridge in chilled Jagermeister.Though I can't imagine a cartridge would track all thatwell afterwards.Not to mention making all vocalists sound like Dean Martin ..... forget about PRAT! :) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree, same thing with happens to me with most posts.I really think it's strangling the forum. There can be no meaningful debate if there's an 8-10 hour delay before posts go up.Lewm, I've had similar experiences at many live gigs .. on some oc... | |

| SME V : what to expect ? I've found the SME V I had seemed to get out of the way and let the cartridge do it's job.Are there better arms? Sure, but the SME is well thought out and most people will get pretty good results without weeks of tweeking.I have a Basis Vector whi... | |
