| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? WOOD!!! Thanks Henry,I will get a Yamamato ebony headshell, instead of the Orsonic and try to resurrect the Phase Linear TT with the Acutex 420 .My other TT options do not offer a replaceable headshell.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry,Do you prefer the Grace 9E over the Ruby? I still have a 9E with low hours that I bought in the '80s. However it is mounted on a Phase Linear TT that I have not used since the '80s. I sometimes regret not buying the Ruby but it did not sound... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,The Victor Z1s I purchased on Jauce looked and sounded virtually new, Even with the original conical stylus it was very dynamic and musical but without the finesse or nuances of the SAS stylus.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I must be a mid-fi lover at heart, even though I have 30K+ invested in my system. It was designed primarily for multichannel SACD and DVD-A playback; I added the turntable somewhat later.Generally I have agreed with Raul's cartridge assessments, e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Yes the Denon DL-S1 is a great cartridge and in the MC world a relative bargain at the $600 + change from Comet Supply. However, with the music I listen to it was somewhat reticent and laid back.The frequency response is very smooth and li... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dean_man,I'm glad you're enjoying it. The bass is better than I originally thought but not the very best. Love the detail and separation. Wish the soundstage was somewhat wider but still well worth the money.John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Four out of ten have sold since I made my post. I hope fellow forum members snap these up. I agree that the G800 has a great generator.Best,John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? These Goldring 800 replacement styli are once again available. It's been quite awhile since this was the cartridge of the month but it is still a tremendous bargain combo. Not the last word in bass impact but it tracks like crazy, the imaging is h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Need a new stylus for my ancient ADC XLM mkII, bought new in the 70s with a Philips 312 TT. Hasn't been used in 35 years.The ViVid line stylus from LPgear looks promising, believe it is made for them by Jico. Does anyone here have any experience w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hola! I have forgotten, are the 4xx and 3xx styli interchangeable using the same body? I think I remember they were not.John | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3Hi Danny, I bought an Acutex 312IIISTR from the Italian seller. My friend and I were both highly impressed with the sound of such an inexpensive cartridge even in its day. Do you think the 412 is better? I have the Acutex 420, which is a lit... |
