Michell Tecnoarm

I had one of these Arms a couple of years ago . I also thought the Arm to be bright with some glare . I thought that the Silver Wired Tonearm Cable to be the trouble .

I have a Rega 250 that has the Michell aftermarket Counterweight and Arm Stub and Incognito Wiring Harness and it is much smoother SOUNDING with none of the Brightness .

Have you tried lowering the piviot end of the arm?

My TecnoArm is indeed on the bright side when used with a bright cartridge. But it is mellow when used with a warmer cartridge.

I can't comment on the effect of tonearm wiring because I've heard no alternatives for comparison. But the i/c cable between my phonostage and pre-amp has been examined. Silver cable is bright when used with a bright cartridge. It is mellow when used with a warmer cartridge. Copper cable behaves exactly the same.

Thanks for the responses and yes, I have tried more negative VTA.

I have the tecnoarm. I don't find it bright or glaring - but I do have a major problem with the cartridge lead terminations. All 4 of them have started fraying on me - and 2 of them have snapped. I'm going to get it professionally rewired with the Cardas cable.
