| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? @adc-grace Yesterday I did a little try. Had a look on one of my ADC 25 styli and a Sonus Gold Styli (Pathemax diamond). So I changed the ADC cantilever with the Sonus cantilever. It fits. Perhaps not perfect, but enough to get an impression how ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @travbrow Chakster the bearings were perfect in my 100MKII just that it leaked damping fluid. From the counterweight or from the bearing? Do you mean loose bearings? Got it “repaired” and refilled, It was a great performer but not a huge upgrade ... | |
| Entry level turntable for my son For a 16 year old person i would buy ONLY (made in japan) Technics Direct Drive, the SL1200mkII on used market is $300-400. This turntable is unbeatable and build like tank, so he can do whatever and you can make sure it will last forever, in case... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @travbrow I’ve also owned the Technics EPA 100MK2. Though the 100MK2 is impressive looking and user friendlier with the removable headshell. They tend to leak the damping fluid from the counterweight. Ridiculously overpriced compared to the EPA ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @dimitry The table is Sony PS-FL1, which is a front loading DD with a light, undamped arm with very goos bearings. Budget is up to $1k.Why this Sony turntable? For $1000 you can buy a proper vintage Direct Drive or for a $1399 you can buy new semi... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @harrold-not-the-barrel Believe it or not, but i’m not a fan of Astatic/Glanz cartridges at all, there is ONLY ONE cartridge made by Mitachi for the Glanz that i choose personally for its exceptional sound quality. I can still recommend some othe... | |
| DL-103r with a Soundsmith Retip revelation Indeed, it’s not difficult at all to set up any cartridge with LineContact or even FritzGyger stylus and relater profiles. The required tools are: Test Record (like Hi-Fi Test LP), Decent protractor (like Feickert) and Digital Scale (like Ortofon)... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Personally i don’t trust OP’s recommendations in this thread anymore, he slagged off his own choice of excellent cartridges many times over the years, so in my opinion every cartridge claimed to be "the best" by him must be avoided nowadays, becau... | |
