| Hana Cartridges / Excel @frozentundra Ch:Never heard of the Turntable’s They are DD ? Look nice Are you MM cartridge guy vs MC ? All my turntables are Direct Drive, if you're not familiar with LUX you can read here about it. Also about Denon DP-80 here. I've been ... | |
| Shure VST V You can also email to the manufacturer directly: https://www.jico-stylus.com/ I think SAS is the most ecomony way to get your Shure back to life with better stylus/cantilever | |
| Shure VST V Just add Jico SAS to your Shure if you like it so much. But there are so many great MM cartridges from the same era, but from the Japanese manufacturers like Victor, Audio-Technica, Grace, Pioneer ... I think it is not a problem that one or anothe... | |
| Hana Cartridges / Excel I see your, posts a lot on cartridges What TT, Phono, cartridges are you using today? Hello Jeff, i’m using two Luxman PD-444, right now with Fidelity-Research FR-64fx with N-60 stabilizer (FR-7fz cartridge), Victor UA-7082 (Victor MC-L10 Direct ... | |
| Ortofon TA 210 vs Jelco 750 I don’t know yet whether there’s something uniquely special to SPUs or I would enjoy just as much some low compliance 1/2” mount alternatives. Definitely nothing special in GM E in my opinion, but the Royal with Replicant was superb in my syste... | |
| Hana Cartridges / Excel SAEC in Japan, Argent in USA in the past and Etsuro nowadays just to name a few. Read in my thread about it. Excel also made MM and MC carts under their name Excel Sound in the 70's | |
| Ortofon TA 210 vs Jelco 750 Have you tried some other SPU cartridges ? Maybe SPU Spirit Ltd or SPU Royal ?As much as you impressed with slightly better arm from the same manufacturer you will be surprised how better can be a different SPU model, not only in finishing, but ac... | |
| New Technics vs. old @bimasta Clubs like 54 didn’t do scratching or other manipulation (interference) with the record’s normal rotation — so Thorens and other belt-drive was fine. Technics replaced all the belt drive turntables in every club and on every radiostatio... | |
| Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready... wasting a little amount of cash isn't a big deal? to support the cheaters? | |
| Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready... They could send you some nice and tasty fruits and vegetables, but not a turntables. You can’t have such deal even from the biggest retailer in Moscow, but you’re expecting it from Uzbekistan with free shipping ? Poor foreigners, that guy from aud... | |
| MC loading at 47K Well, as Ralph explained many times it's all about the phono stage. And probably a cartridge impedanceP.S. sadly you can't try your nagaoka MM with 100k ohm | |
| Best cheapo Cartridge @uberwalts Be hard pressed to find a good FR-5E for much less than a $100 nowadays Chakster. And nearly all I have seen for sale of late are in Russia or Japan, hard to find one here in USA.And it is a very light cart so not going to suit all arm... | |
| MC loading at 47K Long time ago when i bought my first hi-fi phono stage i didn’t know about loading. There was just one switch between mm and mc, later i realized it was just a gain switch, but the load was 47k for both (low and high output cartridges). Guess what... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Moonwalker99, keep listening your rock and roll, i want to repeat that i am not a hip hop or rap aficianado, but let’s make it clear - i don’t like rock and roll (most of it), country and stuff like that, but you like it and always talk sh*t about... | |
| MC loading at 47K It’s an old thread, but this is exactly what i’m doing now by loading my Miyabi MCA at 47k Ohm (JLTi phono stage) and this is by far the best setting for this (low impedance / low output) MC cartridge. This is not the only one LOMC cartridge in my... |
