| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Timeltel, I took your advise and painted a red Acutex 412 to black and the hot highs sound much better. I wish someone had told me about this sooner.My thinking was along the lines of yours regarding the 3xx chart from 33audio and the 4xx ch... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Dyna10x, Great to know you are enjoying the Acutex 420. It seemed to improve til about 20 hrs on my system.I am curious about the 415 so whenever you get around to it, please give us your impressions. I seem to remember Timeltelsaying he was... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul, Acutex M320STR or Clearaudio Virtuoso? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Nandric, My first reaction to the Ebay/Audiogon seller was like yours but then I realized these people who are buying would not be getting to hear the Acutex 420 without this man bringing it to them. They are not aware of this rare opportuni... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Dgob, I have not heard the loss of detail in the lower mids but I do not own a modified Technics to know what I am missing. Perhaps you are correct and the Technics 100MK4 is just the better cartridge. The Technics 100MK4 stock is legendary ... | |
| Covering a naked platter- MMF 7 has no felt pad Hello Pushpull, Sorry I did not see the second part of your question.I did not like the Erotic H and luckily broke it one day. For a lot cheaper you can do much better. YMMV.Check out Raul's long,long,long MM thread and ask for advise there. He is... | |
| Covering a naked platter- MMF 7 has no felt pad I had the Herbie's on my MMF-7 and it was much better than the felt pad. If you spend more on a mat you might think about an upgrade on a table.Another idea might be the Music Hall mat and I just bought a Merrill-Scillia mat on Audiogon which I li... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Halcro, Image seems normal to me so far. Bigger than normal but I am adjusting to the Transfi arm which has moved everything to a whole new level.I hope this defect is not a trend. Was there a return period on these? The seller has a lot of ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Badcap, We were getting them from Italian EBAY but I just checked and there were no more at this time on that site. Sorry. There still are a few 412s and 410e cartridges. The person listing sold 30 or more 420s so he may have more to list la... | |
| Recordings with BASS Lots of great suggestions. I will need to look up some of these. If I remember correctly Sumiko recommends a Bob Wasserman CD/LP with Jennifer Warnes called Duets for setting up speakers but I think the Donald Fagen SCAD of " Morph the cat" may be... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I agree with Timeltel On the Acutex 420. VERY high performance for little cost.Could those who have both the Clearaudio and the Acutex please let us know how they compare in your system. | |
| Pioneer DVD-V7400 as a transport: INCREDIBLE Bought one today for my wife (yeah right) as a DVD player for $32 with 7 day return. Now I only need a DAC to go with it. I don't think she owns a DAC either. I better get looking. | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Tubed1, That is a sweet list. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes, I live in the US unless Mr. Perry acted on his threat to make us a Republic again while I was at work.It took about 10 days for the Acutex to arrive. |
