| AT-VM95ML or similar?! 200 GBP = $260 Ortofon M20FL Super with Nude Fine Line diamond is a great alternative at your price range. It was one of the favorite cartride for many contributors in MM thread here long time ago (you can search). I still have a NOS stylus for th... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? Technics SL-15 is such cool looking DD turntable, the size is exactly like the LP sleeve, the weight is 6.6kg, there is a build-in pre-preamp for MC cartridges! The price in the 1981 was 150 000 YEN ! Here is a video of this beast in action. "The... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? I have 2 Technics SL15s w exact same cartridge in both ( no idea on which tone arm) whatever the box came with at the time suspecting . I notice that both tables produce distortion i believe mainly on the left side only , they may just need to ... | |
| Matching phono section with either cartridge or turntable. When you're using MM cartridge it's pretty easy with a phono stage. All you need is a 47k Ohm input for MM cartridge. Some experienced audiophiles customize MM input to use 100k Ohm instead of 47k Ohm. But to make it short, this is one of the best... | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3? High output MC make no sense, so it must be LOMC or MM/MI I have no personal experience with Rega turntable, but cartridge must be selected for the tonearm, calculation is pretty easy if you know your cartridge compliance @ 10 Hz and tonearm effec... | |
| Best turntable and arm under 10k? For $10k you can buy Luxman PD-444 Direct Drive in mint condition with two armboards, two tonearms and two cartridges of the highest caliber. This is what i am using in my studio (picture is one year old). | |
| Upgrade Suggestions for Rega P2 All you need is a decent MM or MI with nice stylus profile and stylus replacement. This is the best choice for your turntable, your tonearm and your phono stage. Do you know that any MC cartridge must be re-tipped every 600 hrs (average) and it’s ... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? You could try a JICO SAS stylus for your Technics MM cartridge. Old SAS has Boron cantilever, NEO SAS can be Ruby or SapphireSAS (Super Analogue Stylus) is a huge upgrade for 205c mk3Have you ever tried it ? Do you know anything about this option ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @rockinroni the unipivot tonearm you're using is not ideal for the 103 because of the High compliance of the cantilever a new low compliance cartridge would be more ideally suited to your turntable It's hard to understand you messageDL-103 is a... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon @lewm Invictus, Your and Chakster’s zeal for MM cartridges over all else is in my opinion just as misplaced as is Raul’s recent conversion to the religion of the moving coil cartridge. Your blanket statement that any cheap MM can outperform any h... | |
| Need help with preamp settings for Dynavector 10x5 If it's 2.5mv then MM input with 47k Ohm to start with | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I think it was the best comment in this thread and my personal award goes to @millercarbon That is why, anyone tries to tell me a turntable got absolutely crushed by a CDP, all I can do is ask, from how high was it dropped? | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I totally agree about the room impact, in the past 4 years i have moved with my system in 3 different rooms, they are all different size and different shape. The sound is different in every room with the same speakers and the same turntables. Now ... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I have a new Technics SL-1200G and vintage SL-MK1600 MK2. With all things being equal except the tables, trust me, I can mostly certainly hear the difference. Do you think the old Technics tonearm + old wiring and new Technics SL-1200G tone... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @dynaquest4 I'm not sure, but maybe you never owned a high-end turntable, cartridge, phono stage ? What i can read about that Garrard Zero 100 is comments about problems with this turntable from many users. If you imagine me with automatic retro ... |
