| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? If you will pay by wire transfer you have zero protection, if it will be your first purchase from no matter what seller, my advice is to stick with paypal only (not "family and friends" or "gift", but "goods" only) with full buyers protection guar... | |

Denon DA-401, Victor UA-7045, Sony PUA series for a bit more long Victor UA-7082Fidelity Reseach FR-64s Victor 7045 and 7082 with VTA on the fly are great (if you can find a perfect ... | |

| Jelco tonearms closes As any discontinued products they will stay on the used market for decades with some aftermarket parts for them (or custom made parts from third party vendors). No more new tonearms from Jelco :( | |
| Considering a new Phono Pre-Amp Great @gestalt My advice @jay73 is to try Gold Note, this is the most versatile phono stage for MC cartridges, also good for MM. Audition will wipe away your doubts about noise, because there is no noise. | |
| Thoughts on SS bass. Tube mid and high tube pre First Watt amps voiced with Tannoy, probably the best amp for them if you want killer SS amp. | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 I'm still with Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10Any more users of Gold Note here ? | |
| Has anyone heard the new Audio Technica AT-OC9X series of cartridges? Audiophiles should pay more attention to Audio Technical products in general IMHO. They tend to provide very good sound for good value. Definitely, they've been doing it for decades, great brand | |
| THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES! I drive an old 911 because it has a character missing in the new cars.Life is good? I also have a new one which from a performance standpoint is far superior but the old one is more fun to drive. Luxury life must be even better If I bought an ol... | |

| Ikeda 9 Cartridge Squeaking meanwhile, if Audio Technica, or Grado called an elliptical 'special ellipse', hmmmm Joseph Grado made his best with so called Twin Tip.Ikeda made his LOMC for Fidelity-Research with Refined Contact type tip. Special Elliptical is probably Hype... | |
| Ikeda 9 Cartridge Squeaking @elliott I am astounded by the counter intuitive relationship of ’delicate sounding MC world’ needing heavy tracking force of 2-2.5g.What shape is the tip of this stylus? "Special Oval" for Ikeda REX and latest Ikeda Supremo Supremo tracking for... | |
| What should I do? And bring your own old cartridge to the dealer to compare it with new one. If you're not happy with the sound and can't solve the issue at home what is the reason to pay $2500 for this new toy? | |
| Considering a new Phono Pre-Amp -Goldnote Ph10I like the ability of this device to change settings on the fly. Have read good reviews but also possible noise issues?Can't remember any noise issue with my Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10. If your cartridge is not 0.05mV like Ortofon... |
