| technics sl 1200 gae @nkonor Well, i don’t have a "tons of vintage" as you might think, i only have selected top quality vintage cartridges and i already traded my few expensive modern carts for my belowed vintage carts long time ago when i discovered the quality of t... | |
| JVC tt-101 repair @best-groove Same with my both Luxman PD-444 turntables, there is no immediate stop like on Technics. Also the torque is not so high on start. But this is just another concept of the DD turntables. It has nothing to do with the fidelity or speed s... | |
| technics sl 1200 gae @atmasphere The arm tower allows adjustment of the VTA on the fly. The concept has been copied by VPI, Durand and others so it must work :)I like this concept on my Reed, but smooth and precision VTA on the fly available with many nice vintage ton... | |
| technics sl 1200 gae @nkonor Hey, while "bang for the buck" is indeed my driving factor in audio now, i have modern tonearms at the same price as your TriPlanar (the Reed 3p "12 Cocobolo which is my reference) and paid for expensive modern cartridge too (Zyx Airy III,... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @daveyf Would you like to tell us what is your favorite top 5 cartridges? Something that you really enjoyed in your system over the years and would recommend to others. I wonder which stylus profile is safe for you and your records? Thanks | |
| technics sl 1200 gae @atmasphere Each you promote one particular arm you have to remind our readers that you are a dealer of that arm, i think it’s a good arm, but TriPlanar is not for everyone and construstion of that "12inch arm is unusual, the arm tower and pivot a... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @daveyf possibly due to the fact that the old vintage cartridge isn’t allowing for that kind of resolution and transparency! You must be kidding? They are at least equal (to be politically correct) to everything modern including $3-5K ZYX, Lyra, ... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @daveyf I suppose you are going to tell us that the old vintage cartridges never wear out, none of them suffer suspension collapse and damage/wear to the stylus....right. The lifespan of the best diamonds is up to 1500 hrs at least, MicroLine and... | |
| dead cartridge? Darn the Luck ! ! ! Buy yourself a test record like Hi-Fi News Test LP to make sure your system works fine, you can check everything with this test LP (and there is a free protractor inside) | |
| technics sl 1200 gae gae, as is : fine can't touch it for 45's.i meant newer orthofon shibata mono .... I have entertaining records but they are not typical audiophile up front mix. I don't care about audiophile records, i do collect vintage 45s from the 50s, ... | |
| dead cartridge? Darn the Luck ! ! ! You can measure a cartridge generator with volt meter to make sure | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @daveyf Your preference for vintage cartridges is interesting. Personally, I have absolutely zero interest in them regardless of the price, or the reputation.Here’s one reason why, I have a very good a’phile friend who about a year ago decided h... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... @daveyf my personal experience, but i only compared my best vintage MM/MI/MC carts from the 70s/80s to the $5k modern LOMC i must admit, i am not crazy to buy $15k cartridges. But i’ve bought $3-5k modern High-End LOMC carts myself (all brand new)... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... It would nice to walk in a store that can demo some of the most expensive modern cartridges in their system, require an audition, and bring some of the best vintage cartridges with us. Listen to a $15k modern cartridge on removable headshell, then... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... I agree that some dealers have no idea about the products they are selling, especially if you start asking technical questions. I’ve been in this situation before. But if you think you can’t audition Koetsu carts and won’t take a risk of buying a ... |
