| Cheap starter system for kids DJ turntables are mostly rubbish, except for Technics (the leader of the industry for decades) and recently a Pioneer and Denon as alternative, please ignore any others, they are not good! Buy what professionals are using (not amateurs), even if y... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma By FR-64 S the Stevenson geometry is assumed. Exactly, this is how IKEDA designed his tonearms and it’s easy to check, because when PS is correct the stylus of his fixed (headshell integrated cartridges like FR-7fz) drops at Stevenson point withou... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma AudioCraft headshells are excellent (after rewire) ! | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma Yeah, i'm not trying to say you have no idea how to set-up and align a cartridge, i just said that Conical tip is less sensitive to everything (to errors in adjustment of antiskating, vta, vtf etc) than for example Paratrace or any LineContact typ... | |
| Question on FR 66s Using the 231.5 Bearwald pivot to spindle length my cartridge fully forward in the ehadshell still does not reach the little circle for the stylus. It depends on the cartridge mounting slots and your headshell size and slots size too (jelco), your... | |

| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma @lewm Chakster, In your parlance, does "NG" mean "No Good", which it would mean in colloquial English? I have the old original Feickert, made of white plastic with black markings, where the platform is the full size of an LP. "NG" is for New Gen... | |

| Another Request for Information/Knowledge The original Yamaha MC3 vtf range is 1.2g ±0.2g , but since your sample recantilevered/retipped it can be different. +0,20or -0,20 it’s normal for any cartridge, when it’s NEW you have to use maximum (not minimum) tracking force during burn-in per... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I paid over $800 for my ATN180 stylus (sealed), just for the stylus, for AT-ML180 cartridge, but this is one of the best MM ever and the cantilever is "special", two versions made: hollow pipe beryllium and hollow pipe boron. Both gold-plated, bot... | |

| Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money At $1000-1500 one of the best is Technics EPA-100 "10.5 tonearm (titanium tinride) with Ruby Ball Bearings and dynamic damping. A variable dynamic damping system which permits the user to tune the arm for compatibility with virtually any cartrid... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I,ve seen people asking up to 500 dlls for replacements for the empire edr9, which is way too much. Any stylus replacement with aluminum cantilever at that price is a rip-off! You can buy a whole new cartridge at this price. 500 is a price tag... |
