| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay GST801 as mentioned is a fine piece. I think I may have the original tonearm lift, and that is the weak point in this, which is not a big deal.Lustre made 2 different versions of the armlift mechanism for GST-801 model, they are completely dif... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay I think that its lift is worthless I've seen two different armlifts made by Lustre for 801 series. So they tried to improve. | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay Regarding your Victor UA-7082 you can just remember that an optimal Victor top of the line cartridges designed for use with this arm on stock lightweight headshell are as follows (for example): 1) X-1IIe (MM) own weight is 7.5g, with stock shell, ... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay Happy New Year!Grado is American manufacturer, so they are measuring dynamic compliance at 10Hz, but nearly all Japanese manufacturers measuring at 100Hz. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? 12-inch tonearm made of cocobolo must have very high effective mass. Fine for low compliance cartridges. Not so fine for high compliance ones. There is no single best length or best material for a tonearm. @lewm 18g, since there is no detachable ... | |
| Tube MC phono stage recommendation I'm sure a SS MC phono would be the quietest option but I love the quality of sound and the tweakability offered by tubes. Do you know the trade offs? It can be noisy and microphonic, depends on the tubes, they do not last forever. A solid st... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay how do you compute from 20cu to _____ mu/mN??? It's the sameMost important is to know how it was meassured (at 10Hz or at 100Hz)cu = mu/mn | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay It is correct what you write, but not everyone uses paypal, there are many especially German sellers who have taken the bad habit of using ebay and only accept bank transfers for payment ...

Yea/Nay I have never bought on usaudiomart or ukaudiomart etc.etc. because I have no way of having protection as on ebay; I would like to know if they are reliable sites with reliable sellers or are there always risks of sellers’ cheating? @best-groove w... | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side Never heard of Nagaoka. It is a lowish compliance cartridge with bonded elliptical tip, nothing special, you can look at the specs (the compliance is so low ). You will never get a proper frequency response and a nice low and high extensions with... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay BTW here is a picture of Lustre counterweight and ringweigh for you. I sold them last year to another a’gon member when i discovered NOS tonearm with same set to keep. P.S. All grado cartridges are high-ish compliance like 30cu @10HzA true mono MM... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay You'd better ask which counterweight is on this arm (A or B), because he does not have 2nd one (or even a ring). Also make sure the magnetic tracking force and anti-skating are working or you will have to use this arm just like a static one. |
