| Phono preamp and cartridge matching I think you can use LOW OUTPUT MC with your CA+ phonostage in MC mode, what's the problem? Life is easier with MM cartridges, so my advice is to stay away from HIGH OUTPUT MC, makes no sense, if you think your phono stage can't handle LOMC then bu... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience What a nice packaging, look at this little cutie close up Well done by Noriyuki Miyajima's daughter, who assembled all his cartridges, must be well trained fingers, very nice. Some images of this process. I think i'm gonna try it on my IKEDA IT-3... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? For options, I found and bought the optional extra counterweight, fits either 7082 or 7045https://www.ebay.com/itm/193237660632 Yes, this is what you need for heavier MC carts or heavier headshells on your UA-7082 | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? It has original Headshell and Cartridge: Victor Z1s, not sure what Stylus is in it.More important is to know long it was in use before you will put it on the record, it can be worn out already. The Z1 is the lower model from Victor and its styli a... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? @ubewaltz So yes seeing as you insist on being pedantic, you stated the OP has bought, all I did was correct that to a more correct "in limbo’ status which is 100% fact but no you still wish to contest the statement and have the last word! Have a... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? But 7082 will MC cartridges support some of them today? many MC cartridges can be used with this tonearm, but subweight is a must have for heavy ones, the subweight principle is similar to those on Technics SL1210mkII that screwed in the arm pi... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? Well not quite correct now as he cancelled that purchase.But he is still considering another near identical item Does it change anything in my statement ? Prompt decision since the bug detected with the previous seller, just another victor hope... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Do you not see a slight sag in the CW, even for your pristine example? I do. We can look at another image from the internet:a perfect tonearm and a broken sample Anything in between is SAG at different degree, but clearly visible from the fir... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? @best-groove It seems to me impossible that more modern cartridges cannot be used with the 7082 Who said it’s impossible? But think why people using FR cartridges on FR tonearms, or Ikeda cartridges on Ikeda tonearm, or Technics carts on Technics ... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? My current Victor MC-L10 is magical with Luxman silver SUT (also relatively cheap $500 vintage toroidal SUT). However, my friend @nandric said the MC-1 sound like an MM cartridge to his ears :) Victor MM are giant killers! Super easy to drive with... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear Each phono stage is different, some of them will give you many options, some will give you nothing. There are MM and MC phono stages, but also only MC phono stages and only MM phono stages available. It’s hard to understand what are you talking ab... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Just a final comment on the droop seen on many 7082 and 7045 arms.The only way I believe you will ever see one of these with zero droop is from a nos example that has lived in its sealed box all of its life.Many reasons for the droop to exist on... | |
| Turntable Advice Needed The Black 1210 is sold thru online, musician, DJ outlets. The silver 1200GR is sold thru audiophile or Technics home audio dealers. You can get get discounts on the Black 1210 thru places like Guitar center, etc. Audio dealers CAN get the black ... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear Could you explain what makes a $4000 phono stage so special ?You can mate an expensive cartridge to a $400-800 SUT from the 80s and a nice modern MM phono stage, this combination is not over $2000 if you want something very nice, so why a $4000 ph... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! I think I would like to try a good MM with the EAR 834P - I am open to trying something vintage, but not coming up with availability on the ones mentioned above. @rykk999If you want something serious under $700, not just a waste of time and money... |
