| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? The best cartridge you can use with ease on Victor tonearm is Victor cartridges. Make sense? They are match in heaven to be used on this arm. Actually this is a top of the line tonearm made by JVC/Victor, their best model, a longer version of UA-7... | |
| Grading of phono cartridges Part 3 Yet another nonsense that only the OP can use for himself.It's like reading a notes made by someone for himself with the only difference that OP is a professional dealer specialized in second hand cartridges from japan, someone who purchased from ... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? @totem395 So you think it's better not to tell him anything about the obvious problem with the arm counterweight when i see it ?I'm just trying to help! We do not celebrate Christmas at all, sorry But i hope you're well and Mary Christmas He did ... | |

JVC factory sheet shows the original was never straighthttps://audio-heritage.jp/VICTOR/etc/ua-7082.htmllooking closely at your new example, it is not perfectly straightNot sure what do you mean, but i’m talking about straight line of the tube ins... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Nice, thanks for information. I will pass on it.Regarding the Micro arm boards i have noticed the best are from gunmetal, just like my favorite Micro Seiki platter mats. | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? ChaksterI do agree with the sentiments of cost of repair for the 101.Part of the reason I went with a 81.And a 71 but that’s another story.Sure with shipping cost the repair is about $1400 for me, that's crazy.TT-81 is step down and i'm pretty s... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? https://www.ebay.com/itm/VICTOR-CL-P2-TT-81-UA-7082-set-AC100V-Free-Shipping-d506/264532995172 ElliottToo fast. You bought the arm with dead rubber grommet that does not support the counterweight properly, you will have to replace it, the counter... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Chakster, the TT101 is not above criticism, but your statement that it’s “too old” is ridiculous, especially coming from you, and especially since the alternatives you name are about the same vintage. Each of those other TTs you name has its own A... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Victor UA-7082 is probably the best long arm you can buy for the lowest price ever compared to many others (if you can find a perfect sample), it’s cheaper than Schick and better than Jelco! But the Victor TT-101 must be avoided if you don’t know ... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? I tried "12 and still love it, almost on any plinth the bigger gap between a turntable drive and a tonearm tower looks better :)) First "12 inch in my arsenal was Thomas Schick, second is Reed 3p , and the last purchase was Victor UA-7082. Persona... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Actually i was inspired by this idea of using Micro Seiki bracket/armboards for other turntable, i also have Victor TT-101 (actually two of them). This is not new because i’ve seen something similar before on Verdier turntables. And then OMA turnt... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Not sure why a DUST COVER is a subject of this post, i don't use any dust covers on any turntables. Object like that is not good for room acoustic just like glass and must be avoided. I assume Micro DDX-1000 is probably lower level TT compared to ... | |
| Cartridge loading I bought the cartridge from Audiofeil ( sold via Audiogon) and was assured it was a good match for the VPI Scout that I bought it for. It was still pretty much brand new when I had it mounted on the Technics. In 2020, I plan to get the Dynavecto... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? @tooblue So your question was a rhetorical one? I don't have this turntable, it would be nice to read feedbacks from the users, especially in comparison to some other vintage DDs. | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? @mijostyn The Plinth is rather basic and you will have to do some work to isolate it. What do you mean? Additional isolation platform under a turntable? I like the idea of almost no plinth, it's basically a frame, but: "The three large insulato... |
