| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So, Some Astatic models featuring a better cantilever than Glanz. The motor design are probably the same though. Right? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think the only reason the Astatic has higher output is more coil windings, not some “better” design. MM Cartridges with low output 4mv or lower work best in my system because of my high gain phono amp and preamp. And I notice most TOTL MM cartri... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Japanese eBay seller of the Glanz MFG-610LX has a stock of 10 left. These were the newer version of the MFG-61. Could be the same, better or slightly lower performance of the MFG-61, we know sometimes newer isn’t better. From what I gathered,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Could it be that Glanz chose a mediocre aluminum type cantilever? And some other brands designed better ones? That could be the reason the lower models all sound very close and the much better design of the boron and better tip makes a big improve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? halcro, what’s your reference or favorite cartridges? Were any of the MM models discussed on this thread favorites of yours? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, I bought one. It seems this cartridge was very rare and highly regarded. So I thought I’d better just buy it before it’s sold out. I’ve read a thread about this model at another forum. One poster that owns some of the best TOTL models fr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I’ve read on another forum about this Glanz model, the owners are very satisfied highly praised the performance, but a little concerned that it’s a low rider, not being sure if that’s normal for these models? I asked the EBay seller how many he ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I also like MI types. I might try a moving flux type eventually. I sent an offer to the Japan seller of the Glanz MFG610, he wouldn’t agree. I’m not willing to spend $450.00 right now. But maybe at a later date. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think different materials can alter the character of the sound a little. I thought I heard difference between maple and slate arm pods on my homemade slate plinth. I ended up preferring the maple wood, a warmer sound. I could be nuts though too.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? How’s the Glanz MFG 610 stack up against other favorites? It has the boron and special tip along with moving flux design. Seems it could be a great bargain and available at eBay. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Whatever, opinions are like..you know the rest.This thread definitely helped me discover that you don’t need to spend ridiculous overinflated prices for fancy “high-end” brands to experience high end quality. Some recommendations not working out i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audio Technica’s newest crop of cartridges, at least the MM ones I looked at, now use aluminum cantilever. Some say the AT 150sa aluminum/shibata is in the same league as the AT 150Mlx which is beryllium/micro line. Just slightly different present... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, I had an AT 150ANV with the sapphire cantilever and micro line. Is that the one you owned? It was the top modern MM model from Audio Technica. It was an excellent performer but I sold it. They increased the price, quite a bite, of the left... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi bimasta and dgarretson, what does the stylus guard look like on your 2000z models? Is the Empire logo in red or just plain raised lettering? I’ve seen supposedly NOS samples with both types. Also the 2000z has better specs compared to the 4000D... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raúl, I did buy an s2000z stylus from LP Gear. I received it today and it’s the real original. I deleted my rants.. |
