| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ***The cart had a muddy bottom end that drove me crazy, and it was deficient in dynamics. I would switch between Empire and the Azden or the AT 20SS and the differences especially in dynamics were like night and day.***Banquo363Very interesting ob... | |
| MC loading at 47K Look at Audiofeil's answers very closely. Perhaps I am mistaken, but your OP suggests that you don't understand how loading a MC cartridge works. Running a cartridge into a "wide-open" 47K load, means that the cartridge sees less resistance than a... | |
| MM cartridge comparable to a Benz L2 The Empire is a screaming buy at $120. I use the D4000III, and I think it is a fantastic cartridge. It rivals, in most respects, my Shelter 901, and VDH MC1. Be carefull 'though, in assuming that higher gain will solve your hum issue. What you are... | |

| Voice. Most powerful and natural instrument. Kijanki is absolutely correct. Issues of perception aside, I will offer this example:I have sat in the clarinet section of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra during rehearsals of many operas. It is typical during the sitzprobe (first time that the o... | |
| MM Cartridge or MC Cartridge Cryogenically treated, 99.9999 OFC nunchucks; of course. Silver, if the user is overweight. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ***02-11-11: DlaloumTimeltel....an observation - usually lower voltage cartridges also have lower inductance. (more coils = more inductance and more voltage)Lower inductance leads to more extended frequency response especially with low Capacitance... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? "so I'd propose that discussion about audio equipment is nothing more than a tasteful way of discussing money, politics, religion and sex..."Brilliant!And the reason that music is seldom part of the discussion. | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? You're right. What was I thinking?!? | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I guess I could just rest my case, as you have made it for me very nicely. I would have preferred to continue this privately, but if you insist. And, alas, I can't resist a good banter; I have a little free time today. Predictably, hipocracy rears... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Once again, more proof of the need for a better audiophile vocabulary; one which, if it is to have any real meaning, needs concensus. A good place to start is, ironically, outside the audiophile world; in real world vocabulary. How often do we say... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Hotmailjbc, why you feel the need to be insulting, and personalize what could, instead, be an interesting, and thought provoking discussion about a pertinent current issue is beyond me. But, I certainly think it speaks volumes about your ability t... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? What we tend to forget is just how well most of us have it in this great country of ours; even with all those horrible, greedy corporations, and wall-street types. Here we are, sitting comfortably at our computers, talking about the high cost of A... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Onhwy61, my point precisely. And then you have the bigger issue of many supporting economic policies which are irrational and self-defeating, which seek to "even" the playing field by, instead of encouraging self-reliance and initiative, try to ta... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Mceljo got it exactly right. I would like to add: Welcome to the real world! I costs money to buy the best of anything (material), and to complain about it and decry the fact that others can is silly. Lots of advise already on how to buy used, etc... |
