Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not

@lohamal

is it really the PUA 7 sold also separately or its twin brother but poorer fitted as standard for example in the PS X40 X50 X70 turntables etc.etc.?

@lohanimal

n.p. Put the wiring that looks best for your budget and enjoy it. ;)


I can only hope for you that  tonearm little paid for it.

Is the Ps X arm worth spending getting AN or say Ikeda wire?

it would be worthwhile to have bought the arm that was sold separately, the one supplied on the turntable and a version that resembles the PUA 7 but is not the exact same thing; construction tolerances and bearings have friction different, but perhaps you are already aware of all this.
If it were identical, it would not explain why Samurai electronics on ebay never manages to sell it for some time (a few years)
Now that you have it, fix it without getting too crazy about the choice of wiring IHMO

   Seeing as I have the arm - I have to give it a little love

Of course!

How many people on here own the original stand alone PUA-7 tonearm ? I couldn’t find anyone who can comment on anything related to this particular model, except for the links to the vintageknob website.

I have the rare PUA 7 already for a different months, but I have not yet had the opportunity to install it on a plinth and connect a cartridge.
I prefer not to pronounce incorrect information until the time of the test.

different alignment method and their own Sony protractor.

Huuu, what am I missing, is it so really essential?

Do you by chance also have the template to center the exact point of the tonearm to be fixed on a virgin plinth?

Yes, same template designed to point the mounting holes in the plinth (one big and one very small).

Would it be possible to privately obtain a scan of your template for my personal use?
I would be very grateful to you,I don't have this item and I wouldn't know how to place the arm exactly on the virgin plinth.

@chakster 

thank you very much ... you would be a real gentleman.

@rauliruegas

Perhaps I have not explained myself correctly; I don’t need a template to correctly position the cartridge on the shell, but I need to use a tool to position the whole PUA-7 on a new plinth.

Saec is a special case; has always made the owners of the whole world crazy by giving only one value of null point at 5mm.
Things not to believe!

@rauliruegas

Saec = master of disaster LOL

Is it possible that a miracle is needed to put these arms in the right position?

And once placed correctly can they be considered "the best"?
