| Phono cartridge suggestions sought Any other tools for cartridge alignment and tt set up you think i should have? All you need is Dr.Feickert protractor and level. Cardas Test LP Hi-Fi News Test LP and digital scale like this | |
| My tonearm must be wired out of phase Buy yourself a Hi-Fi News Test LP and Cardas Test LP there are phasing tests, so you can check polarity. | |
| SME 3009 Series III Haters There are several better looking arms out there but for the average audiophile spending thousands on an arm or even aturntable is out of the question. I don’t think there is anything as good as this under $500. This is exactly the price point for... | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought Here is a post about Ortofon poor quality control, read it before you will buy any Ortofon cartridge such as Bronze or others. | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought @dramatictenor Chakster, thanks for those suggestions. BTW, Sending it to SS gives an option of either a ruby or boron cantilever, with a nude contact line or optimized contour nude contact line stylus for relatively little money. With that infor... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges However those ’’old scold’’ regarded your kindof music as noise not as music. Comparing funk with, say, Bachis a kind of sacrilege. No wonder you like MM kinds (grin). @nandric Impressionism in Art was considered as rubbish in the beginning, so ... | |

| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Back to our popular mechanics section (with correction and new images): This is very rare SONY PUA-7 tonearm with original manual and mounting templates. Cartridge alignment method was developed by SONY, so the original template is necessary to se... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not I appreciate that - I correct one thing though - the Sony Ps-x9 had a PUA 9 arm, not the PUA 7 - it's a longer arm. Oops, you're right, the PS-X70, 60, 50 turnables. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges The only way to understand is actually HEAR/USE the cartridges.I don’t want to change/swap cartridge or toneam utill i understand the sound character, the reason why some carts waiting in line. It’s the process, time consumming. I am stuck with Mi... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges But he may think that provided the cartis new or NOS it will function for the rest of his life. No, i don't think there is any cart in my collection that i will use for the rest of my life, still searching for "my sound" and this is the reason ... | |
