I have an Sumiko Alchemist HO MC cart that has been sitting unused for quite some time. If that floats your boat, you can give it a spin and if it works, we can work something out. Email me direct off-thread for details.
Used carts for trial MM/hi-MC...got one?
Nice to be reading this again!
Just getting to the point of unpacking the table after a year of renovations on the old place I bought.
I got a turn of the century train station in southern rural Virginia with 12 foot ceilings and 12X12 chestnut beams under it.
I have been looking forward to setting up the LP12 for a long time, but JUST got to the point where it could be done.
Upon unpacking it, I find the XTZ has breathed its last. It is "locked up" (had I known, I would not have bought the stylus).
Anyone have a useable MM or hi-MC around they could spare for me to try?
My budget is dead and buried from the house, so I cannot make a mistake. I still run my GFP-565 and cannot afford to buy anything else in that department, but would greatly appreciate anything you have to tell me about the new carts in the last couple of years.
I loved the Grados image and dynamics, but it caused my Tabs to flutter pretty regularly and could be nastily sibilant. (Lyle Lovett "friend of the devil" from Deadicated.)
Since the last time I opened this can of worms, I ended up re-doing my XTZ, I would be very interested to hear what you guys suggest this time around.
Anyone have a spare or mostly worn MM around they would part with cheap or a version of cart you would suggest that you have hanging around for a poor vinyl junkie to try? My two copies of Amused To Death have not seen stylus in 18 months. I am going through withdrawals here!!
How about the best thing I could get for 100 or less??
(Yes I am that broke)
It is good to be back!!
