| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audpulse - does this mean that these stylus assemblies are interchangeable (i.e., I can use a Shelter 201 stylus on a Grace F9 body)? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, thanks for the info - and for not making me pay too much for the Signet :-)As this cartridge does not have a user replaceable stylus, I'm reluctant to attempt any transplant operation myself. As you have confirmed, one would have to pres... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? From the recent character of the conversation here, one can only conclude that we have exhausted or will soon exhaust the subject of vintage MM cartridges. It is entirely understandable that the discussion would eventually run its course since any... | |
| Any Counterpoint SA-3 Owners? I have an SA 3.1 along with the service manual. If you want a photo, you'll have to contact me off line. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - with all of the confusion surrounding AKG nomenclature, I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. What I'm listening to at the moment is one of Axel's rebuilt AKG P8ES Super Nova VdH II (old style). This is a very nice sounding cart... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds - I have my P8 ES (also sourced from Axel) mounted on a Signet XK50 with the tail down slightly. I experienced some slight harshness/sibilance as well. I thought it might be related to the stylus shape and difficulty getting the VTA dia... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm - Jim Howard (Applied Fidelity) did a very nice job rewiring a Grace 707 for me. | |
| Tube Interaction in Counterpoint 3.1 Neddy - according to the manufacturer (and as reflected in my SA 3.1 owners manual):Technical Summary: Pure tube signal path. The unit has two 6DJ8 tubes in the phono stage and a single 6DJ8 in the line stage. As with all Counterpoint preamps, the... | |
| Tube Interaction in Counterpoint 3.1 The 2 side positions are for the phono stage and the center tube is for the line stage. You are probably experiencing one or more bad tubes in the phono position. | |
| Azden Cartridges Just to follow up - I was able to use the VL stylus on the YM-P50C body and it sounds fine (again, no way to compare to see if it's as good as the P50VL cartridge body). I'll let it break in and report back later if anything changes.Assuming they ... | |
| Azden Cartridges Thanks Dgob. I noticed the color difference (in photos) which is why I was wondering if they were the same or not. If you look at the specs for the 4 P-mount cartridges: http://cgi.ebay.com/AZDEN-YM-P50C-MOVING-MAGNET-STEREO-CARTRIDGE-W-STYLUS_W0Q... | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? I just had my Shelter 501 II rebuilt at the $250.00 level and am a completely satisfied customer. When I initiated the work, I was given an estimate of how long it would take and they completed the work within the estimated timeframe. My suggestio... |
