Shindo Aurieges MM differences?
I have always wondered about this same question. Anyone listen to both?I guess you should get the Monbrison, just to make sure you don't get the wrong one. ;)

Rok, Sorry about that. Emily Remler's music will live on. How about a really good new album, by Winard Harper, called Coexist? Feeling any better?

Rok, sit down and read Emily's bio.

Isochronism, Any time I see Emily Remler or Philip Catherine's name on a record I buy it.

I would think that most of the audience was there because they are fans of the bass player, Wojtek Mazolewski's band. I can only hope they knew who Dennis Gonzalez is. Mr Gonzalez is a music teacher in Dallas. He travels the world with his band, s...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewm, yes, I was referring to the infamous Blue 550ml. I do believe a Soundsmith ruby tip is next for me.

Lewm, the Precept's electrical #'s are approximately the same as the AT 15/20, so it's hard to believe Raul would like it. It seems you need the 440lc stylus to hear what he heard. The Precept 220xe is good, but both the 550whatever, and the Akai ...

Measured the resistance of the Precept cartridge and it measured 462 ohms, which is close to the 500 ohm spec. of the Audio Technica 15/20 series. More reason the Atn 20ss stylus should work on precept cartridge. After resetting up the Atn 20ss st...

Dgarrettson, if you get a chance to pick up an Akai RS180 do so. It is a completely different cartridge. Gains in some areas, loses in others.

There is also an add running with the statement, I will not buy through Audiogon and leaving his Email address to buy offsite.I don't think they currently read the post, but may monitor links of some people. I saw links to other " competing "websi...
