| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma @nandric haha, no i didn't mean any of your posts here :) I remember Yamaha YSA-2 straight tonearm with no offset, here is a discussion. | |
| New TT for ~$1500 @tas234 Hey all, OP here. I appreciate all of your responses and youve given me a lot to think about. I was initially set on a 1210GR after your responses here and elsewhere. With a Hana SL that is closer to an endgame system for me. Unfortunatel... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma The thread turned to the monologue of one person pretending to know everything better than others, but apart from the numbers claimed to be audible distortion i want to remind that there any many other components in analog chain with higher distor... | |
| La Platine tonearm help needed. You will find everything about Schick on his site Good looking tonearm, but very simple and not the best.Try Reed 3p instead if you want something special, more on their site. here is my ex Schick and my current Reed I sold the Schick "12 and boug... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions The only thing you can say about the Technics is that they are well made and slick looking and pretty cheap which is why people fall for them.Americans love cheap well made garbage. $4000 is cheap for you ? SL1200G cost $4k and it’s very expensive... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions Technics tonearm on SL1200G is really good one, vta on the fly, removable headshell, optional subweights. If you really need a $4k tonearm you can remove Technics stock tonearm, order custom armboard and buy Reed 3P tonearm or something else. The ... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions I’ve heard and seen the Technics 1200G and yes it looks and feels much better in real life. I haven’t heard anything else and likely won’t be able to. I’m in a position to get a new G for 2,5k, it’s an open box about 1 month old. This is amazing p... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions This is what inside that Thorens. Yet another overpriced belt drive. Buy yourself a Technics "G" and forget about any other turntables. If you're comparing them by the pictures in the internet then you have to see and touch that SL1200G in real li... | |
| Sumiko BPS Evo III vs Hana EL/EH I didn't realize there was a Technics in my price range. I thought the $1800 one was their entry point, so I'll look into the less expensive one that was mentioned. Technics SL1200GR is definitely not entry level compared to Rega and MoFi (the... | |
| Sumiko BPS Evo III vs Hana EL/EH Why do you want an MC ?Sumiko is very dangerous with unprotected cantilever that is easy to bent, i would never buy any cartridge designed like that. You will have to ship your MC cartridge to retipper each time the stylus is worn (say every 600 h... | |
| SUT to MM cable? what should i get? cable mis-match Inputs on LINE LEVEL PREAMP that can be used for DIGITAL too, not only for analog. I use all 4 for analog only, but i have 2 turntables with 4 tonearms. The OP own 3 tonearms, so he could connect each tonearm with separate phono stage (or sut and ... | |
| Correct Input Sensitivity Setting for Cartridge Start with lowest possible gain and see if you like it.4mV is mid, 6mV is high | |
| How often to demagnetize mc cartridges? I never do that, only Cardas Frequency Sweep LP for MM and MC | |
| SUT to MM cable? what should i get? cable mis-match In my opinion a line level preamp with at least 4 inputs is a must have, then we can use various phono stages and SUTs to connect them to the line level preamp where we can switch between 4 inputs. SUT or MM phono stage can be very small and to fi... | |
| Next upgrade for my analog source If you really want to upgrade buy entirely new/different cartridge, for the price of MP500 there are many alternatives. If you like nagaoka you can just upgrade stylus, not cartridge. But if you want something different it's about new cartridge fr... |
