Far more like a CL in some ways. Agree about the tracking but in my case the sound is also much clearer and sibilance much less on some of my difficult recordings.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/47207.aspxWed, 19 Sep 2007 03:59:50 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:4720712030https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/47207.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=47207<p>Hello,</p><p>In my opinion the difference between for example SMMC4 and MMC4 is not that big if you have a relatively &quot;new&quot; MMC4, especially on the audio side. On the mechanical tracking side there is a bigger difference in favour of the SMMC4.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/46655.aspxMon, 17 Sep 2007 03:07:47 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:46655Peter0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/46655.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=29&PostID=46655I agree.
