| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Hi Jonathan,Happy Holidays, and now あけましておめでとうございました！Thanks, as always, for chiming in.I have to agree with several of your points. Regarding tracking, I definitely agree. I also think that personal preferences on arm and arm-type make drawing con... | |
| Arvo Part... Where have you been my whole life? I found that the only solution was to buy them all. And then listen to them in order. I found that quite interesting - so much so that I have done it a few times. I have my favorites but it is an interesting 'journey'. I enjoyed that so much that ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,Too bad on your XL88. That is a truly great cart. And the XL-88D is an even rarer beast. I don't have any significant experience with an Ikeda cart. I was just mentioning it, along with the other one (which despite Raul's lack of love for it... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, yes, my experience has been (in some cases) that matching the arm design to the alignment works best. I am not convinced it is necessarily always the case. My point was simply that for an average mixed music record collection, which geometry ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks all. Lew, I wish I could do something similar. I am currently in slightly cramped quarters but in a few months will be in slightly less-cramped quarters if all goes to plan. But... the volume will still be height-challenged, and the setting... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Happy In-Between-Holidays to all.Hi Henry, I'd love a copy of the Garrott P77 docs too.And Dover, if you get tired of your Sony XL-88D, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Lew, ditto with your MC7500. Great cart. Your point about downstream i... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? While I am firmly in the camp that the implementation of the physics has an enormous amount to do with what I hear and how good I can make things (does that make me a true believer in the Church of Physics, able to "scare children" in a single lea... | |

| Sansui Turntable - Best one to own? Br3098's comment about the SR-929 being a good table, and a great table for the money (and probably best in the line) is spot on (IMHO). However, I would not agree that they are the best Japanese tables of the period. I prefer the Luxman 400/500 s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David,LOL with the pastafarians! | |
| Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable Rushton,I am curious as to what are the other 9... Can you share? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jonathan,In your last sentence...I note that some designers of MC cartridges and phono stages use quite massive amounts of capacitance to roll-off any ultrasonic peak from the coil inductance-cable capacitance resonant peak, but personally I have ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I agree Henry. The FR-5 IS better than the FR-6 and sounds quite decent. I haven't tried it in that particular headshell but I imagine it would sound better than I have heard it yet. And because it is not 'audiophile-approved' in the other thread,... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Pedestals, plinths, and pods oh my! LOL Nandric! You are right. 'Marketing material' perhaps does not have the 'gravity' that one might wish for, though the research behind the concept seemed to be well done. |
