| Cartridge new or used ? I disagree. Modern moving magnet cartridge technology benefits from the latest refinements in material, design and manufacturing techniques that didn’t exist in the 80’s, when those processes were relatively inefficient. No, try to find any new c... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @dynaquest4 Chakster:Not sure I get why you uploaded that "slide" image. To me it just looks like a a digital scan of a blurry purple haze. And since it is now a digital image, what I supposed to compare it with. It's an example. Actually ... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop I could be wrong but I think that once the speed of 33.33 Rpm has been reached, the display should remain locked at the speed and not restart. You're wrong. Not in this mode | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e The FR-64s without B-60 base (vta of the fly) is not so good. I have’t tried the N-60 stabilizerBut 64fx is good as it is, becase the arm base of the 64fx is much better than the arm base of the 64s. So for the 64s you need the B-60 base which is ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @dynaquest4 You covered too many bases and a response from me would just take too long. I'm glad, though, that my post got your chops churning and interested you enough to provide such a verbose reply. I used film from 1972 to 2004. After digit... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? Everyone if free to decide what is better, but only after the actual comparison of the cartridges in the system. That would be fair. Some people on here commended on something they never tried or on something they had bad luck with. For me it’s ob... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? @sleepwalker65 Why would you go vintage when brand-new, I’m-abused Audio-Technica Micro-Line cartridges are available everywhere at reasonable prices? (Thanks Chakster) I prefer a known commodity, and it’s worked out superbly with my VM540ML ca... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? @daveyf chakster, if you don’t believe me, read what stevecham wrote above. Your ’advice’ is going to result in folks damaging their LP’s...unfortunately. . As i stated before, I am certain yours are damaged beyond repair at this point, as your v... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? @clearthink Let's make it clear: your cartridges are used, each time you play next record your stylus getting more and more used, not sure how can you live with it ? I'm sorry, i know you don't want to use used cartridges, but actually you do. | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @vinny55 Any Opinions on Sony Pua-237 Tonearm? Look for Sony PUA-7 (or PUA-9) stand alone version which is much better than 237 series. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @stereo5 I truly appreciate the info you have given me, but as my Technics sounds fine (to me) as is, 300-450 is still way too much for a record mat. In my opinion SAES is the most reasonably priced mat on a used market today. This is not just a ... | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo I to have heard rumors of the one piece sony diamond stylus / cantilever combo but have never seen a picture. Namiki currently makes a diamond assembly but it is two piece where the diamond is set in a laser drilled hole.www.intactaudio.com/forum/... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @stereo5 My Cartridge was only 600.00! At 200.00 I am willing to take a chance, at 700.00, forget about it. SAEC SS-300 is about $350-450 (depends on cosmetic condition) | |
| Cartridge new or used ? @daveyf hey, you can't buy even a brand new cartridge according to your own thread, so why should we discusse a used ones with you ? The picture i have posted is what people can see when they buy a used cartridge, in most cases that quality of pic... | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo Anyone can post a picture of so called "one piece diamond stylus combo" ? I know that SONY announced them as one piece, indeed, back in the day. I'd like to see it This is the only Diamond cantilever that i have. Is it one piece or two pieces ? |
