Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement?
Hi Darkmoebius,I have the Phantom II with the DV1s already loaded and a spare titanium arm wand if you'd like me to do the comparison?Are you in Australia like I am as I don't want to pay for shipping abroard?RegardsHenry 
Arm geometry and null points
Hi Jonathan and Doug,I made it clear to Yip that all arms were set using Baerwald geometry.I think maybe he wasn't keen on me NOT buying 2 other Mint Tractors for the other arms?RegardsHenry 
Graham Phantom ArmWand ?
Email me and I can give you Bob's direct Email address.He does care about his customers. 
Arm geometry and null points
Thanks guys, that's what I thought.The reason I had to ask Doug, is that I have just bought from Yip the Mint Tractor made for the Graham Phantom II standard arm which is, as you have said, the best template on the market IMHO.For my other arms, t...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,Where can one buy the Empire 1000 Ze/x or the Sonus Dimension 5 cartridges?RegardsHenry 
TW-Acustic Arm
Nothing is more easy in high-end today, then designing and building a top-tier tonearm.It is a purely mechanical device of simple function and just about 2 handful of issues to watch and to take care of.TW missed out to address a hell of a lot of ... 
Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5?
Ignore Crna39.He is a 'tool' for Pass Labs amps (just check out every single one of his "Answers").Strange thing is, in 4 years, not a single mention of comparing the Halcro DM58 amps till now?And how and why did that comparison occur when he is s... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul and Lewm,Whilst I commented on the perceived differences (at the frequency extremes) I hear on switching back to a fine LOMC, I did not say that I 'preferred' the overall sound of the MC cartridge.After a day of re-listening to my favour... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Montepilot,What tonearm are you using when you get the RFI?The reason I ask is because I found this on my Copperhead with MM/MI cartridges also (because of the far stronger signal produced compared to LOMCs) and the reason was that the tonearm wir... 
The Hub: 2010 CES + THE coverage online
Fantastic coverage Arnie.Thank you. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Not at all Lewm.I stand by my praise of the Orto M20FL as I do for the Garrott P77 in a review almost a year ago.All I was stressing is that it is easy to become 'carried away' with a certain component or a 'change' in sound or even different emph...

M20FL vs Garrott P77I have just completed a comparison between these 2 MM cartridges....the Ortofon mounted on the Graham Phantom II whilst the P77 was on the Continuum Copperhead.On all music types there was more body and depth to vocals and doub...
