Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay
Lever flexes a long thin strip of metal (visible when upside down). The end of the metal activates the rise/lower action when flexed by the lever. It was an earlier version of the armlift construction, Lustre completely changed it in the later version to conventional armlift without that long think strip of metal. |
I have to send the long victor 7082 arm/tt back to seller for full refund, so this GST-801 is my main stereo arm. I love it. Initial height adjustment/set screw was a PITA, but, now, VTA while playing is a dream, and it’s lift when working is wonderful. Impressive quality, very heavy/solid mounting ring. Magnetic Tracking Force and Anti-Skate: When you turn anti-skate to OFF, it’s off, it just stops moving when aligning and setting tracking force. It’s indicator of tracking force is very, very close to the digital scale measurements, and the anti-skate indicator seems right on, no further adjustment was needed when doing final listening using these 3 guitars on side 2, track 2 and 3. (3 guitars only those tracks) https://www.google.com/search?q=friday+night+in+san+francisco&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS881US881&sxsrf=ACYBGNRWtGXYIiLa1anbLNfpV8WIKxKBrw:1579751526671&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=FYnBqYrNxZ2acM%253A%252CMtTWRSsX8qs8LM%252C%252Fm%252F01pmn5x&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTMOhE8AhRucmhPF9RS6WKh5uHiRQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2iNKE6ZjnAhWhVt8KHQkkAUYQ_B0wFHoECAoQAw#imgrc=FYnBqYrNxZ2acM: |
Hello - would anyone be able to send me the manual from Vinyl Engine? I cannot make an account there since they're not accepting new ones.
Also - what is the mounting hole size and bolt pattern for the tone-arm? I'm trying to figure out which armboard to get for a Thorens TD-16X.
Thank you for any help! |
