| Reasonable moving coil cartridge Why wouldn’t you buy an MC as long as you have an MC-capable phono stage already available? The Audio-Technica AT-F7 is every bit as competent as any MM in the same price range and better than most. The one advantage a similarly priced MM has is t... | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 I bought a new phono stage myself about a year and half ago and ended up with the H-1202. I’ve heard a lot of great phono stages through the years and auditioned several more in the process of making a choice, but for me the Allnic was the one whi... | |

| Record Store Day postponed due to Corona Virus Right you are. Lets give it another week then, since you're evidently being wilfully blind as well as pig ignorant. | |
| Record Store Day postponed due to Corona Virus Sounds like wishful thinking, Mr. Potato Head. Tell me that again in two weeks’ time. You won’t have to wait that long for me to call you Mr. Potato Head. 🥔 The US mortality rate is going down. ⬇️ Italy’s is going up. 🔝 One week down. Still... | |
| I Need Some Opinions... delos is an overkill for any project table Utter nonsense. Their Signature line and the better RPMs and Xtensions are excellent turntables which will do justice to any cartridge. Especially when fitted with better arms than the originals. | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge I'd suggest having a read over at The Korf Blog. It's the only place I know of where measurements of (a few) tonearms and headshells can be found.Anyway, there are a number of very good tonearms around today which feature removable headshells. I... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge It’s wrong. And a sample size of three is hardly consequential.Only they can answer as to their preference, but a complete rebuild offers the re-whatever far more control of the quality of the finished product (and of course more money). A simple ... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge Elliptical styli are in no way, shape or form limited to 600hrs. My AT33E has run for a minimum of 800hrs, more likely around 1000hrs and is still in good shape.The reason many (but certainly not all) ellipticals wear out quite quickly is that the... | |

| Cartridge Damaged, need advise on getting new There’s every chance it will be as good as it was when new, assuming the person who works on it knows exactly what he or she is doing. It most likely won’t be the same as before, but that’s a different matter altogether.I’ve had a number of cartri... | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges Buying an SLC will give you two styli with very similar charcteristics, so I’d probably advise against doing that. The Shibata on the other hand will provide a little more body and a slightly richer mid range, making it rather less like buying the... | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges Good to hear you struck gold with the 740ML. My own examples from A-T's previous top series are superb performers, so I'm not at all surprised. | |
| Jelco SA-750D cartridges They are not equal and can’t be equal because you’re comparing MM and MC I’m not, I’m comparing sound. As heard by my ears, in my system. I think to compare what is better you will have to....You don’t know me from Adam, nor what I’ve done or hav... | |
