| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Huuu, what am I missing, is it so really essential?I think SONY engineers expected better sound with their own protractor/alignment method. Pretty common for japanese manufacturers. Do you by chance also have the template to center the exact point... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus A conical stylus theoretically can’t be used as long as Shibata and definitely can’t be used as long as LineContact or Micro Ridge. If you expecting 850-1000 hrs from a well polished nude conical Denon tip then how many hrs do you expect from Shib... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? @uberwaltz Just had a very pleasant phone conversation with Keith . Both in agreement that present amp and his phono should be a match made in audio heaven. And his direct sale pricing is VERY fair imho. Just have to sell the Gold Note now..... Y... | |
| Vintage automatic turntable recommendations? Vintage automatic turntable ?how about this one , lol | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus ’An MC cartridge with such stylus must be retipped every 300 hrs.’According to who and why? I don’t own 1960’s mono, just earlier (no shellac) and a few reissues. Regarding the typical life span of the Conical stylus profile you can read online. ... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not The issue when 2 arms are actually not the same can also be found with the Micro Seiki MA-505.When MS sold table models including this arm it was actually not the same arm when bought separately.No guessing which one is superior. Exactly what i... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not I could not find ANYTHING valuable about Sony PUA-7 on audiogon for many years, i think we have only 2-3 users of the real PUA-7 here.I have asked everyone for an opinion about PUA-7 but no one can answer, never! So i bought the arm and I have thi... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Your arm is not the PUA-7 but a simplified cheaper version with different base and without proper armlift sony designed for their best models. I must admit the armlift mechanism on the original stand alone PUA-7 is one of the best ever (i own many... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus @goofyfoot Thanks chakster but I’d rather own an MC, just a personal preference. I am familiar with Grace as I owned an F 8 but I wasn’t all that impressed with it, though it filled a need at the time. Maybe the F9 would have left me with a diffe... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? Norman Pickering was a noted violinist. He invented the Pickering cartridge because he didn't like how violins sounded on other cartridges. One of the best Pickering cartridges is XLZ 4500s | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus What you can buy is an MM (true MONO) cartridge like Grace and a bunch of different styli for different records. Practically this is much better solution than many different mono MC cartridges. Grace made some great true mono MM cartridges and sty... | |
| Hana SL vs AT Art 9 Compare two videos on Analog Planet, one from Hana (Excel Sound) factory tour, another one from the Audio-Technica factory tour by M.Fremer. | |
| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) @glennewdick I have not owned personally any NOS carts (well i suppose my VDH cart is well over 15 years old now) I'm going off what friends who have owned many have talked about during our weekly Audio club luncheons. So as I said MAY need rebu... | |
| Re-tip or Replace? It may be just me, but I don’t trust ebay. Too many counterfeits/scams/ripoffs. Well, it’s absolutely impossible to rip you off on ebay when you pay with paypal, buyer always protected and full refund always guaranteed by paypal buyer’s protecti... | |
