| Fidelity Research FR64 Black Limited Edition @jkingtut I have a 64FX that’s black and has a flat round black knob (with a white dot that looks like hand applied "white out") for raising and lowering the arm (VTA) on the fly. I guess the white dot gives a reference point. I’ve seen arms witho... | |
| Is there a non-DJ version of the Technics SL-1200 Series? You'd better look for brand new SL1200G if you want something better than nearly all old Technics models. SL1200G or cheaper SL1200GR are much better than everything you have mentioned. The blast from the past: SP-10 mkII or if you want something ... | |

| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? @mosler666 you can't judge about your stylus condition with pictures like you have posted. If you want to see how close you have to get to the stylus with a nice microscope read this article. | |
| Does it make sense to run a 3k cartridge on a 2k table? I think it is not actually a question :) What is someone will ansrew "NO", will you return your cartridge ? The price check is relevant only if we comparing brand new products from the shops. But we're all know how good are some vintage DDs for ex... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @harold-not-the-barrel Chak, your biggest mistake is not that limitless arrogance as a novice but you simply cannot take a man´s word. "Your" Pyramidian MFG-71L has the lowest VTF of all the MFG-XXX series, a possible exception is your MFG-61L. ... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? You can prove this to yourself with any good test record like the Hi-Fi News Analogue Test LP. Play the Bias Setting band and lift your anti skate weight. The left channel will start buzzing madly. Add a lot more weight and the right channel will... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? some one that can’t learn ( as I said is not ignorant. ) is just stupid. 1) An adult person who can’t even learn English living very close to the USA for his entire life 2) who can’t make his posts readable by learning how to use very simple audi... | |
