Looking for some turntable/tonearm/cartridge guidance
Hoping someone can help me determine if this combo will work or not. I'm trying to complete my new turntable, Michell Gyro SE. I have a Michell TecnoArm 2 on order, but it's been months and I'm not confident it'll even show up anymore. I found a Moerch DP-6 9" Precision Red Tube, with the proper armboard for table. I have a new Hana ML cartridge ready to mount once I get an arm.
Based off the vinylengine tool, I think I'd be in the 10-11 Hz area (7.5g mass arm, 9.5g cartridge weight). That seems to be correct, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Moerch arms. Would that arm be an improvement over the TecnoArm, assuming I ever even got it?
@coreyt I also have a Gyrodec SE and enjoy it very much. My current tonearm is a SME M2 9R that i purchased from www.smetonearms.com. This might be an option for you as you already have a SME armboard. Alfred was a pleasure to work with, if wish, he'll also rewire the tonearm and upgrade bearings. I've still got my original TecnoArm on the shelf, I should probably do something with that. |
