| Not too knowledgeable and a cartridge/ phono amp recommendation is desired JLTi phono stage (MM/MC), latest version from the manufacturer. Bargain, the price in AUD so in USD its even cheaper ($1015) !! Great phono stage with long history. Best buy in my opinion. RCA plug load resistor is great option for a cartridge. Th... | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? Hey, you can use nearly ALL moving magnet and moving iron cartridges on this Technics tonearm, what’s the problem, will you ask for every cartridge ?

| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms @nandric Dear chakster, Ikeda IT-345 ’’armwand’’ is not made from steel. I remember Carr’s comments, but ...There are at least two versions, the latest/modern is CR-1 (i have no idea what does it mean), but my version is earlier from the 1996 an... | |

| Turntable cost:benefit I'm afraid that a person who advice you to use any cartridge with Elliptical stylus like your Sumiko for 1500 hrs know nothing about stylus life span and the difference between stylus profiles such as Elliptical (one of the cheapest and simplest) ... | |
| Recommendation for stylus for Shure V15 type III SuperTrackPlus Never buy anything from LP Gear, they ordered custom styli from Jico and they are not like those original styli JICO can offer on their site for very good price. Always buy directly from JAPAN right from the manufacturer. JICO SAS only (SAS is Sup... | |

| Turntable cost:benefit I'd love to own Garrard 301 (in Hammertone finishing only), it's a masterpiece of design in my opinion, but the price is absolutely insane! A good plinth will double the price. Fully restored units goes for crazy money compared to many killer vint... | |
