| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Dgarretson's wife said, "big and buttery", after only a few hours.My mistake. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? After rereading what I had written, I realized it sounds sort of negative. The bass on the Precept 550 is as deep as I have heard on my system, and very tight. Although it leans to the warm side, it still has great detail retrieval.The highs, whil... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I would enjoy a comparison between the Precept 440 and 550, when you get your 550 stylus.The Precept 550 on the 220 body is very smooth in the high registers. With a little work with VTA, I was able to get rid of most the " carmel " sound Dg... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Just thought of one more. " Bloodcount", written by Billy Strayhorn while sick with cancer. Both haunting and haunted. | |

| hair brained idea and a hello Swampwalker, I think the 640p is a phono amp.I do wonder if the Yamaha internal amp can be used for external speakers. | |
| hair brained idea and a hello Jabbles180, The Yamaha sound bar is not going to give good sound, and needs to be replaced at some point. It is probably the reason your vinyl is bright. You can do as you plan or save money for a integrated amp/receiver or preamp/amp and speakers... | |
| What country still has music? A lot of good jazz out there. A lot of great musicians who are not popular because they don't sound like the "Giants" we grew up with. The music scene will be very good once the large group of boomers, which I am part of, are gone, and they stop d... | |

Maybe an investment newsletter for $10 a month.Btw, As good as the Precept is ; Raul keep it up as long as its fun or till I am ... | |
| Johnny Winter Bootleg Series? Polk, I will let you know what I think.Casey33,I am hopeful that I will enjoy these more than you. Thanks for letting us know your opinion. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I get great sound from the Mat II, and only can tell the very slight masking of highs, when I go back to the bare platter. As you know, this is so system dependent. Next week I might decide it is to bright and go to the Mat II full-time agai... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? Musichead,Any of the ideas above are good for replacement stylus. There are 155lc stylus available. The 140lc is a good stylus at under $100, and I like Johnnyb's idea on the 150 stylus. I was off work today and broke in the new AT155lc stylus, it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, I guess we would need a platter without silencer's in our system to actually know the effect of the silencers. I do remember a Acoustic Sig. video where Gunther had someone rap the aluminum platter to show it ring, and then rap a Storm, I th... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? Hello Timeltel, any ideas why TTneedles would take the 155lc out of the original box, and install it in a tin?Also, as described above, the 155lc shows to come out of the Astatic line at the top of the TTneedles page. i don't believe they were mon... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? Turntableneedles even shows the 208-dex under, Astatic instead of Audio Technica, but other than that they make no mention of this being Astatic.I owe Indianrider an apology. I should have done my homework before posting. |
