| Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm Denon was very cheap, what's the budget for new/better cartridge ?And what is the effective mass of your tonearm ? Definitely you have to look for cartridges with advanced stylus profile (shibata, line contact, micro ridge, stereohedron ... ), bec... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I lost use of my AT-ART9 which was paired with an SME-V. Now I have got my hands on a DL103R. and what do you think ? @cool_jeeves | |
| Buying a new TT today Is the P10 better than the 1200G?Questions, questions... Of course NOT, it’s not better. Only in someone’s imagination. "G" is $4k reference Direct Drive from Technics with the same coreless DD motor as in the SP-10R (their top of the line)."G" h... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary Don't buy Nagaoka MM or Hana MC. Discover much better MM/MI cartridges in the same price range with much better and more involving sound quality and advanced technology (better cantilever, greater stylus profile). Don't follow the mainstream group... | |
| Buying a new TT today @aj523 Apparently you know nothing about DJing history, back in the days Radio Broadcast and Discotheques were equipped with serious systems (speakers, turntables and stuff) brands like Technics, Victor, Denon, EMT and even Garrard created some of... | |
| Buying a new TT today Anyway I’m sure the Technics are great but I’m sure there are BD’s in their price range that some listeners would prefer the sound of... You could say that when you will be able to compare them side by side with the same cartridge in the same sys... | |
| Went from brilliant to distortion Still pondering a phonostage that compliments well with the P10. Phono stage must be matched with CARTRIDGE, not with turntable. What is the cartridge ? Apheta 3 ? Buy yourself a JLTi phono stage (MM/MC) this is one of the best at very reasonable... | |
| Confused About LP Warps...How Can I Tell?? Warped records must be graded as warped by the seller, just don’t buy warped records, instead you can find same release is better condition (almost always). Put the record on the platter and rotate it watching the edge of the record (side view on ... | |
| Newb Tube question Tube rolling is never ending quest, you’d better look and read an Tube Asylum site. You tube (ECC83 /12AX7) is slightly different from mine (ECC81 /12AT7), i ended up with NOS Sylvania Gold Brand (Gold Pins), Matsushita, military Telefunken are th... | |
| Buying a new TT today There is an app (RPM) where you can test the rpms on your table. Mine is at 33.26 and 44.9 respectively, the slightly slower rotation due to the weight of my iPhone on the platter versus weight of a record I am sure. You know the physics fact that... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR My P77 came from Brian and John Garrott back in the mid ’80’s and was fitted with their Microscanner stylus - which I believe is a MicroLine of some sort. I never got a replacement stylus, just moved onto something else.Brian and John never used... | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? Could you tell me why Technics released a "clone" of their own great original design instead of making a new own great original design? I am simply not a fan of 1200 (and its clones including Pioneer) design. Why wouldn’t they release a nice turnt... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR @tobes P77 is great with its original stylus, i never tried JICO on Garrott, but i’ve been using SAS on my Technics cartridges. My old Garrott P77 with original stylus was stunning on Reed 3p "12 tonearm (18g mass), i couldn’t get the same quality... | |
| Buying a new TT today Hey Chakster - you may be correct about the speed of belt drive tables in general if their power supplies are not great, but on all Rega's mid tables and above, the speed is fine with external PSUs. I have an app that measures it - right on the ... | |
| Buying a new TT today The engineers have told me that it really depends how much you want to spend. To get a quality direct drive that limits vibration due to the motor being directly underneath, you need to spend at least $3k, if not $5k. Originally I was way under th... |
