| 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. | |
| best cartridge under $500 Have you considered any of the Soundsmith cartridges? | |
| Immedia RPM 2 vs Clear Audio Emotion cmb I think when Allen Perkins designed and voiced the RPM table and arm, he probably used Lyra carts (he was / is the Lyra distributor). They work particularly well on that table / arm combo. One point of caution. Make sure the platter is lifted slig... | |
| Second break-in for Clavis De Capo? It's coming in after about 10 hours. Looks like it might be a "low rider" Lyra. Body barely clears the record surface with 1.7g VTF. | |

| 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. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Raul,Please find a working camera to take pictures to post on the site. It would be interesting to see your rig to better understand of what you speak.Regards,Bill | |
| noob TT setup question Have you set your anti-skate? | |
| STP distance. Is it critical ? Raul,The issue with the SME V is that the holes for cartridge mounting do not allow for any other cartridge position or adjustment of the cartridge in the headshell. This would be OK if all cartridges used the same "mounting hole to stylus distanc... |
