| Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment. I’m not sure what was the purpose of this thread? Just to say that a friend who adviced some cartridges to OP has completely different opinion about those cartridges than the OP? I read the same on audiogon everyday, people are disagree on many th... | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? Strange question, no one can see this particular unit to comment. When you buy vintage you must know everything about condition, my SP-10 mk2 was clean as new, I did not recap it, simply because it was just fine as is. If you want to recap the pow... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Chakster, I am not going to debate with you, but I think your lens is broken, or perhaps it is that you are looking at things from a distant land. A reasonable comparison here in the USA would be a Technics SL1000R, which retails for a bit over $1... | |
| Calling all Sota fans. On this image we can see two partners. Who is Mr. Gusew ? “Mark teamed up with a close friend who was highly skilled with electronics and who shared similar tastes in music and sound reproduction. Together they designed and built their first refer... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Technics can be purchased as a separate drive (SP10R) while the VPI is a complete turntable for insane price in my opinion (taking in count that it’s a local US brand). Buying separately Drive, Tonearm, Plinth everyone can find affordable gear com... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I learned to do it myself for repair turntables so that I no longer have to depend on anyone.@best-groove but you could’t fix your Victor for ages yourself until I mentioned hall sensor that JP replaced for Brent. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. All these shells are aluminum, the main difference is weight and wires. Zupreme made by Jelco. Some other headshells made of magnesium, titanium, wood… One of the cheapest and best new headshells is AT Technihard series (fully adjustable). There a... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Black loading 100 Ohm is standard, basic recommendation for many MC, also default for the most phono stages. But you can use whatever YOU like, can be 300, 500, 1000, 10000, 47000 Ohm. It’s nice to have a phono stage with optional loading, not every user have a... | |

| What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm? I am now looking for the best cartridge to match with the Triplanar. It's a silly question if you think there is one "best" cartridge. Here is the article for you. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with stock Technics headshell, it's one of the lightest headshells on the market (and very cheap). However, for my pair of upgraded SL1210mkII I bought two GOLD Technics shells made for their limited edition go... | |
| What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm? Sorry I bought the Triplanar U12 tonearm Not sure if you can be forgiven :) | |
| Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment. You have to listen in your system and only your opinion is valid when you choose a component. I bought far more turntables than I actually need, too many tonearms, and many more cartridges of all types (some very rare units). Different phono stage... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. HW-40 costs $15k, but what do we know about that DD motor? Technics made the best DD motor and SP-10R drive cost about $9k , there are $6k left for assembling a custom plinth and tonearm for SP-10R drive to make a total cost on par with VPI Hw-40,... | |
