Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hmmm...I am familiar with the Hagerman Tech webpage you referenced Al and the curves displayed there look like a low pass filter...at least there is a roll off of higher frequencies dependant on the values of the particular components. Does this n... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
It seems to me that the term "low pass filter" is applicable here no matter how much resoning is opposed to it. The combination of inductance, resistance and capacitance, the way it exists at the input to a phono preamp comprises a low pass filter... 
Denon 103R or 304?
A retipped DL-103D sounds better than a stock version. I've owned and used a DL-103D since 1979 and didn't get it retipped for the same reason that you have related. I was wrong...very wrong. Anyone can post something like this but please believe ... 
Reel to Reel decks
I'm not sure if I missed anyone saying it but there is a beauty and coolness to RTR decks. Its the same sort of thing that makes someone buy one piece of gear over another. You cannot rule out how the gear looks.Its been a lot of years since I own... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul,Thank you for the food for thought. I don't post here very often. I spend most of my time over on two other forums but this thread was interesting.I owned many models of MM cartridges years ago and never found them very fulfilling. In 1979 I ...

I believe that the DP-59L comes with two arm wands (straight and S shaped) which allows you to use it with a variety of cartridges. I also believe it comes with a set of four counterweights. The different counterweights allow you to use a lot of d... 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice?
Darkmoebius/Gopher,IMHO you really should consider retipping that 103D. If you want to, go all the way and retip it and place it in a nice wooden body. That cartridge is significantly better with the TOTL SoundSmith retip and the wooden body shoul... 
Denon 103R or 304?
The Denon 300 series does have a decidedly different sound than the 103 series. Personally I prefer my SS retipped DL-103D to any of the 300 series but that is my preference.Compliance wise both cartridges will work with the RB300. I have run a DL... 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Soundsmith The Voice?
If you don't mind me asking...is the 103D stock or has it been retipped?Ed

Vinyl playback is still a secret
If the trend continues, we might be in for a letdown. Vinyl seems to be making a comeback. There are more new pressings available and the new products available speak for themselves. Prices are likely to be effected.I am a fan of old Denon turntab...
