I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.
Well my Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro arrived yesterday, thing looks brand new! Maybe later today I'll try and get it going, he did include a couple of bottles of the cleaning concentrate that needs to be mixed with about 1.25 gallons of distilled ...

I'll be receiving a Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro X this week from a member of another forum for the price of ..............................shipping! Seems this was the second Audio Desk he has had. First died and was sent back to Germany, Many mo... 
Long and Short Arms. YOU KNOW THEY FIT a Luxman PD444.

Last I talked with chakster was a while ago on another forum but it was after he got put on hold in here. Internet service was getting spotty in Russia and the government shut it down as the war unfolded. Have not heard from him since. No idea wh... 
Cartridge Force - Is a Little 'Over-Force' Okay?
larryi has given you the best answer to your issue. Make the counter weight heavier, it will need to be closer to the pivot to get the correct VTF.   BillWojo  
How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp?
I think I get it. He was using an external SUT instead of the one built into his phono pre-amp but switched back because he was getting hum. Usually hum is from cables that are not properly shielded, ground issues, things like that. I run a Denon... 
Choosing the right SUT for my setup
I don't really see anything wrong with that Ebay kit, all you really need is a well shielded box with decent RCA connectors. The CM-1254 are shielded in MU metal cans so the metal box is mainly to shield the exposed wires inside. You might want t... 
Choosing the right SUT for my setup
I think that most folks looking to get into an MC cart already have a MM phono stage so the only expense is the addition of a suitable SUT. An awful lot of MC carts can be handled with a 10:1 step up ratio. Look at dover's experience with carts, ... 
Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def.
For your budget I would look for a used/broken Denon DL-103 cartridge and send it off to Steve at VAS for a basic elliptical tip rebuild. That puts you at about $250 for the cartridge. Than go on Yahoo Buyee and set up an account, this lets you pu... 
Choosing the right SUT for my setup
artemus_5, you keep saying there is another component in the path when one uses a SUT. With a built in active MC stage there are a LOT more components in the signal path, look at any MC stage schematic for verification. A high quality SUT will amp...

@pindac, could you tell us more about this "Kaneta" design? I'm not familiar with it.   BillWojo
