Cartridge suggestions
Buy a cartridge only from reputable brands who actually made them, not from the brands like LP Gear who does not make them, they often sells fake styli for well known cartridges (i’ve seen it many times and their styli does not look like my origin... 
VTF gauge
This is all you needthe height is just like a record (use that stylus platform for VTF).on top of the gauge you can weight something elseremove the batteries if you don't use the gauge 
Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
ChaksterThat Technics MC pmount cart would likely cost more than my SL-10 did , IF one could find one that is! 205 mk4 MM cost even more than 301 MC 
Does anybody have experience with the Denon VL12 Zu Audio is selling?
I think DL-103 stock (or from Zu) is better for superheavy tonearms like Fidelity-Research 64s and related.That models Denon tonearm is for mid compliance cartridges (like everything today). The only Denon in my arsenal is DP-80 and it's absolutel... 
Linear Tracker ...I was wondering
That's cool. I wish to have SL-15 in collection, i already have P205c mk4 cartridge :)  
Fidelity Research Cartridges?

best phono stage under 10k
So who bought that Aurorasound VIDA from ebay this week for about $2135 ?? :))it’s crazy that even for $4000 this knob with optional loading is NOT included and it looks like this.Manufacturer website. 
Ok guys
I always appreciate your enthusiasm for Technics tables and vinyl playback. I keep the transparent hinged dust cover on a KAB mod’d SL1210M5G down and have no problem seeing the record currently playing. Thanks. It’s hard to imagine a dust cover o... 
Jelco SA-750D cartridges
I just want to add that New AT-150MLX and Vintage AT-ML150, 170, 180 are two different series of cartridges (but people always mix them together by mistake), they are completely different, the AT-ML170 (and especially AT-ML180) are two best MM car... 
Goldmund Studietto
You can measure pivot to spindle distance on Studietto to figure out your limits, do you have spare arm board ? When you know PS distance you can choose whatever tonearm that can be mounted within this PS distance. Instead of pivot point you can u... 
Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000???
If some of the readers can’t face the fact that everyone tried to copy Technics SL1200 mkII... when the company was out of business, then they really know nothing about it and don’t understand the reason why they did it. Pioneer nowadays is the le... 
Ortofon blue
If you have both why don't you just try ? You can't damage anything, try it.  
Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
The idea of going to lower mass mounting screws is a good one (worth a try- its cheap; maybe also remove the stylus guard), better yet a cartridge with slightly lower compliance. A cartridge with lower compliance (15cu) that i mentioned also has ...

find effective mass of the arm and then you will see what cartridge is compatible  
Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000???
Pioneer is not even close to SL1210GR, so you’re comparing apples to oranges, simply buy Technics and close the case. Pioneer is just a bad clone of Technics made before Technics returned to business. Since Technics are back with a new DD motor th...
