Thanks Phil....you are right the XLM is very much the same. Ideal tracking force in my setup is 1.2 grams...any more force and the cantilever will sink! Superb bass. Thanks again, Alex
HELP... with ADC "ZLM" Cartdrige
I was just given (older uncle) a fairly unused (under the microscope) ADC "ZLM" cartdrige! It looks very well built and I can see quality all over it. I am setting up a second turntable based on a modify (Merryl) AR-ES1 using my older SME 3009/S2 tonearm. I think it would be a good match (low -medium mass/high compliance). I need to know the specs of this cartdrige, mainly its weight and the recommended tracking force. My older Audio Magazine directories date back only to the mid 80's. I understand the "ZLM" was well regarded at the time and available in the late 70's early 80's. Also by looking at TAS website, the "ZLM" was reviewed very heavily in their early issues (1-9). Any advice will be very much apprecited.....Thanks, Alex
