| Need some help with setting up a Lyro Delos What kind of transformer? Are there taps that allow for lower gain? What kind of pre-amp? Try running the Project II SE into the AUX pre-amp inputs. Use the MM settings on the Project II before you try the MC. When you get around to trying the MC ... | |
| VPI TNT Super Platter Isn't that the same platter as the HW-19 Mk4 upgrade? IIRC, that upgrade is still available. | |
| Which tonearm? Just use your existing one as a template. | |
| Which tonearm? Ditto the Jelco. I've been playing around with a 750D for a little while and it performs quite well. Just to provide an additional option, the Micro Seiki MA-505 seems quite good also, maybe a step up from the Jelco. The MS arm would require a dif... | |
| Cartridge for Jelco SA750D Arm effective mass of 18gr would seem a little high for either cart. I've tried an OC9ML and Clavis Da Capo, both low compliance mc carts, on the 750D with good results. | |

| Good arms for catridge swappers The MA-505 is a good choice. VTA on the fly, removable headshell with a built-in stylus overhang locator, easy VTF adjustment. Some people say it betters the DP-4. I haven't made the comparison. My opinion would lean toward the Micro Seiki MA-707.... | |
| Dynavector 10X5 v. AT OC9 $350 at J&R. | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Thanks you Jonathan. That was enlightening. | |

| VPI Classic Cartridge Help Could someone provide a link to J&R? This is not the first time I've seen them referenced. Looks like they have good prices.TIA | |
| VTA Koetsu Urushi?? Have you tried changing the tracking force? You might not be in the sweet spot of tracking force where a change in VTA would be more obvious. | |
| VPI Classic Cartridge Help Have you considered an Audio Technica? Maybe an OC9ML? Quite good for the money, IMO one of the best under $1000. I have not heard any of the Soundsmith carts, but they have a very good reputation. |
