| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Steve Guttenberg was there and made a video in 2020. Then he made another video with audiophile who actually owns their small speakers and prefer them to many well known speakers he owned. Everything in High-End is expensive, very few modern high-... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance Why would moving the cartridge forward in a headshell with elongated slots “look ugly”, and who cares?Do you know what is 10mm ? Try to move a cartridge 10mm forward than usual, it most cases it’s impossible to move that much. The difference betwe... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance 10mm error in PS distance is too much! But theoretically if you have detachable headshell with long slots for the mounting screws you can compensate 10mm. In the end it will be ugly as hell. Your cartridge will be moved way too forward in the shel... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Black vs. Bronze For a good cartridge the music genre is irrelevant. After all this is just grooves on vinyl surface and stylus profile must read them.Too complicated grooves (high modulation) can be hard for low compliance cartridge, but for a mid or high complia... | |

| Sound-Smith retipping If you are happy - it’s nice and you don’t have to worry about comments. As you can hear it’s not the original dynavector sound anymore, but if you like the sound it’s ok. I’m surprised that David Moskowitz refurbished your KARAT. Normally it’s Pe... | |
| Anyone using the Pete Riggle Woody? Compare the Woody Universal Tonearm (tm) at $1900 to the Schroeder and Reed tonearms in the $4000 to $7500 rangeI paid about €1300 for my Reed 3p “12 inch Cocobolo, it was DEMO unit from the manufacturer in Lithuania. Yes, retail is expensive, but... | |
| Sound-Smith retipping I don’t think anyone left negative feedback to SoundSmith, but it was explained million times on this forum that 17D3 has a gemstone cantilever, very short (1.7mm), tapared. This type of cantilever is Dynavector’s exclusive (not available for reti... | |

One of my Victor TT-101 turntable drives inside this box has arrived safely after a long transatlantic journey, it was serviced at F... | |
| Pickering XSV 3000 replacement stylus- are they worth it? Here we go again. Ground hog day analogy. haha, exactly :) | |
| Pickering XSV 3000 replacement stylus- are they worth it? As you know, Chakster, the magnet is in the cartridge body, not the stylus assembly I am surprised you said that @lewm This is Moving Magnet principle. 1) Now I want to show something, see what’s inside the replacement stylus assembly carrier HER... |
