| Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ? For anyone who continually posting that all cantilevers are the same and comes from the same manufacturers, please show me a Boron cantilever like this one designed and patended by ZYX for their Airy, Premium 4D and related expensive models. I’m t... | |
| Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ? @thehorn Let me ask you a few questions:If you, or anybody else, is so happy about refurbished cartridges then why not just buy all the cartridges broken for peanuts and send them to SoundSmith ? A broken ZYX cost $250 instead of $5000. Sounds lik... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? @uberwaltz When i bought the table it came cw 103 mounted to the Widow already so obviously I tried it even though theory said it should be awful.It was not and it was actually listenable. But not as goid as vintage mm carts which rapidly replace... | |
| Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ? As for "chakster", although your contributions maybe well intended, they do not address the question, you do not appear to have any personal experiences in dealing with Soundsmith’s work, therefore your input adds up to nothing but conjecture and ... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? Zu audio produces a modified Denon DL 103 that is meant for a Denon VL-12 turntable. How does this combination fit into low compliance cartridge, heavy mass arm theory? I must say that i am a big fan of Zu Audio speakers, also i like people at Zu... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? @lewm Who here mentioned using a Black Widow with a low compliance cartridge? You’d better read a content of my answers or entire thread Lew, because you missed the point. I was shocked to see our @uberwaltz is actually using DL-103 on his Infin... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 Now looking at audiophile interests, the SL-1200mk2 units available on the used market are almost always severely abused and heavily damaged from rap”DJ” use. This is much the same as why you would not want to buy a car that had been used as a tax... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? I've heard from a few members that FR 64s tonearm can be used with High Compliance cartridges, i got the arm, but i've never tried any High Complinace cartridge on that arm, simply because i have different arms for High Compliance cartridges. BUT ... | |

| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? @millercarbon Do you know what is resonance frequency and why it shouldn’t be in the musical range? If you don’t know just buy yourself a Hi-Fi TEST LP, put low compliance cartrige on lightweigh tonearm, play Test LP and you will see how your arm ... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? Sure, you have to look for tonearm effective mass, not every manufacturer will let you know what is the actual effective mass, but this is the most important as you can read in the Ortofon's article: "Cartridge and tonearm systems resonance freque... | |
| Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103? Of course not, ONLY heavy tonearm is a good match for a very low compliance cartridge like Denon DL-103. You are way off with Technics tonearm for low compliance catridges. You need superheavy tonearm for this cartridge. Technics tonearm designed ... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 I'm looking for something that is *technically* competent, something where I know the engineering is extremely solid and "timeless," and provides a good analog platform to swap carts with. My budget for this is $1600 with cart (but up to $2000 if ... | |
| Why do cartridge manufacturers give a range for VTF? Well, normally there is a small range from any manufacturer, but there is also an exact recommended tracking force in any manual i have seen (no matter MM, MI, MC ....). There is also recommendation to burn in a new cartridge with higher tracking ... | |
