| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, I agree that it is difficult "how to explain the performance of some cart without reference to some technological aspects". However, I personally am comfortable with and accept the fact (for me) that there is much about these interac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola and Dover, after 20+ years using and enjoying the ET2, and more cartridges than I can remember, it did not take very long to hear that there was something special happening with the Acutex 420 STR mounted in that arm. My impressions of... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I too am happy to go along with recordings that other have. KBO is a no-brainer, the Simon is also good. No reason not to use more than one recording; including the Fagen. Re the Fagen, and some general comments applicable to all (IMO):While it ma... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Grado XTZ was intended to be a more refined sounding version of the TLZ. I owned both (as well as the 8MZ) years ago. Both are fine cartridges, but while the XTZ was indeed a bit more refined sounding, it was also more polite sounding. The TLZ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, I, like you (I think) appreciate good natured banter and word play, even if it occasionally borders on the provocative; we are all big boys after all. I don't understand why you still search for the meaning of the word carcass. The me... | |
| New phono preamp vs NAD 1020 The 1020 is the preamp section of the famous 3020 integrated minus the power amp. I owned the 3020 many years ago and it was a remarkably capable unit for the money. I recently bought a Cambridge 640P for my son's modest system. The Cambridge is m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Apologies for the duplicate post. I have no idea how it happened. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, you sir (as they say here in the USA), are "on a roll"! Perhaps you have located a supply of my previously recommended "Bustelo" espresso roast bean, and are indulging in a bit too much brew. Although, and in spite of your previous re... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, once again the difficulty of properly conveying the intended meaning of one's written words rears it's head. Please reread my comments to understand that they (as with yours) were intended as humurous and, more than anything, a compli... | |

| System needs more watts?? Sounds like a second 75SE is definitely worth considering. But, before monoblocking them, why not try vertical biamping with two 75SE's; one channel for the mid/low and the other for the tweet. Can't speak re these amps specifically, and it sounds... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? That is cruel! :-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? To quote Nandric, "I am not a technical guy", but years at this hobby has taught me that while we may wish it weren't so, the technical issues and considerations and subsequent choices that boutique manufacturers of phono cartridges make are proba... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In the last sentence of my post I, of course, meant to write: longer cantilever not "longer suspension".Nandric, I agree. But, in this particular case I don't believe that receiving a longer cantilever was an accident. VdH (his rep; I never spoke ... |
