| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,just to get the wording right, I never would say any MC sounds *BAD* in my system, unless ~*empty like* = bad...It's just that MMs or MI sounds rather closer to natural, or less mechanical if you wish. I had a EAR 864P of my son's in my ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,thinking about your comment, and thinking about all those favourable tests of the Windfeld, I'm starting to think I maybe sounding unfair to the product.Could it be that the 60dB OP-Amp (the better sounding compared to the 40dB one in my... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,I'm clocking up some issues with my MP-50. Having overcome (I should think I did) the mounting bolt ~insulating issue, I now experience an ongoing static discharge problem in the form of pops, that none of my other carts have.This cart sounds g... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro,it is a rather particular issue with the MP-50 and something I had not encountered a such (knowingly) this far.Maybe the only difference between MP-50 and MP-500, less susceptibility to RF?I have found a way around it. The other issue is a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy123,y.a.: can you please tell me how MP-50 diamond is mounted in cantilever?I would say it is "naked" same as e.g. Windfeld, Dorian, Jubilee --- but of course the boron with MMs as always then glued into a short alu-tube stub, as is with e.g.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? >>> Garrott P77 is back in production <<<Anyone ready to go for a test, comparing e.g. to M20FL and MP-50?!Tell me it betters those two and I'll be VERY tempted in deed :-)(or are we getting a bit reckless here?) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,something came up for me after listening, comparing, and the reading what J. Carr had to say about his new cart --making better "distinctions". You may look it up on this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1258844370 it i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rizl,been there, no "reviews" there !? only "articles"...and then only up to page 5 and not 7, as you suggested, once in "articles" ?!Are talking about the same thing? That's why I asked again...Axel | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dagob,thanks1) burn-in > 10hrs --- good to recall (I'm still some hours to go)2)isolated from fixing bolts, aye!!!! --- just learned that one the hard way.3) slightly positive VTA, yes I agree4) magnesium headshell -- hm, SME V is just that, bu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Rizl,thanks for the tip on Vinyl Engine, but your directions are not good enough for me. I'm a member and I tried to find this stuff... no find.Dagob,I don't exactly recall where and when these "solutions to MP-50 problems" where mentioned, and I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK, MP-50; some first impressions now.1) dynamics = good LOMC type impression i.e. maybe less "natural" than M20FL but very *dynamic*, thunderous bass when its on the vinyl!2) setting a more dense stage but very interestingly also a noticeably HIG... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,Changing the mounting hardware 'miraculously' solved the problem. I think it was a hex-nut touching the metal body and in this case of the SME V arm causing a very slight shorting between the RF screen and the arm's ground...Not a day with le... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi all,early feedback on my MP-50, --- Houston we have a problem!This cart seems by more the 20dB RF sensitive than anything I had in my system. The result is, that my SME 10 TT motor controller kicks up too much noise for comfort (or a relevant l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi all and sundry,having received my MP-50 today, the first thing to say: if this is not original I'm not! :-) It is a most beautifully packaged and preciously manufactured cart. They just don't bother to make stuff like that anymore, never mind f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Gaugain,what you described sounded to me like incorrectly attached cart wires. I had this twice with an EEI 500 and an 1000ZE/X until I figured that the connecting pins where in very different positions to all my MC carts. I somehow had just taken... |
