Ninetynine -interesting graph comparison. But how doe the MIMC Star sound?
Highest detail cartridges
Which cartridges give the greatest amount of detail? Imaging, soundstage file detail. These are qualities to consider. I know Lyra cartridges are high on that list. What others equal or better Lyras. Is there anything below, say $1500, that is in that same category? Detail with reasonably flat frequency response.

@bifwynne A member of Audiogon I trust has reviewed the Zephyr MIMC Star and Orto Quintet Black. Here is the post: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/3-cartridges-reviewed HTH. |
Talking about the "Highest detail cartridges" everyone should look at the specs first (frequency response), for example Stanton SC-100 WOS can do as wide as 10Hz - 50kHz, Audio-Technica AT-ML180 can do 5Hz - 42kHz, Technics claimed 5Hz - 100kHz for 205c mk4 with
Effective Moving Mass of the tip = 0,109 mg. Try to find ANY moving coil or moving magnet / moving iron than can do the same. |
@bpoletti - excellent member review of the MIMC Star. Thanks. I have a medium to high mass arm (VPI 10.5 JMW). The MIMC Star would match very well with my VPI arm. If I can accumulate some extra cash, I may trade in my 1st generation Zephyr for the MIMC Star. Who knows, the MIMIC may become my primary and the Kleos my back up. Or, I may spring for a second VPI arm and use both cartridges. :) Regards, BIF |
