| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR @tzh21y Why cant you mount the Technics arm on the Luxman? If you asking me, the EPA-100 mk2 has its huge VTA on the fly mechanism, exactly like on your SL1200G turntable. When the VTA is belowe zero the arm is still too high for the platter. Lu... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I hate automatic turntables, especially the vintage automatic turntables.If the owner of such turntables is not a DIYer then they must be serviced, refurbished, adjusted, calibrated etc. Many automatic turntables are broken, the electornics does n... | |
| What is the fascination? Definitely, my analogy about $1000 MM over the $5000 MC is a personal experience with the best vintage MM and some of the best modern MC. We don't have to pay that much to enjoy the music. Some of the vintage MM are much more involving and less pr... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Nakamichi TX-1000 is limited edition, not so many units were made as far as i know. My audiophile fellow in Moscow has it, it’s extremely expensive turntable! My question: is it possible to use 1.8kg Micro Seiki mat on it or its self-centering sys... | |
| What is the fascination? @tzh21y just installed the pickering ESV 3000 today on the 1200G. All I can say is wow. I am impressed Good to know, Stanton/Pickering upper models are really great, if you like Pickering XSV-3000 (a brother of Stanton 881s) then you can upgr... | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks The 700ZXL looks WAY better than the Dragon - and the LX series took their styling cues (the dark charcoal/black with brushed aluminum finish) from the 700ZXL. This 700ZXL looks like a microwave, but not as a cassette deck :) Dragon is state of t... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? We have our @ateal with GT2000 and Fidelity-Reseach cartridges (R.I.P. Ikeda-San). | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Luxman sold PD-441, PD-444, PD-555 were naturally engineered by Micro Seiki : the PD-441 and PD-555 bear MITO T-Tags (MIcro Tokyo) on top of the "official" LUX T-Tag while the PD444 has an MTC T-Tag - which is also Micro. Check the source here @kn... | |
| What is the fascination? @cleeds I was an active audiophile in the ’80s, and the ’70s, too. Now as then, I’m not really interested in experimenting with phono cartridges and pickup arms. Understood. For younger people like me it's the only way to try vintage gear produc... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm @jtsnead Finally got it donehttps://photos.app.goo.gl/WE2NLEe5mW5QtMuk7 That's a good looking turntable now :) | |
| What is the fascination? I have not listened to the Pickering yet. It just sort of hit me in a way when I received it that you really are taking a serious risk with some of this stuff. Remember Raul who own 100+ vintage cartridges and still fascinated about them. Ther... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @harold-not-the-barrel Chakster, yes that´s reasonably priced but its 110V so fits only in US and Japan. AudioScope´s is 230V for European audiophiles + has a warranty. How many vintage hyper decks have a full warranty ? Not so many. It’s actual... | |
| What is the fascination? I recently listened to an older SP 10 MKII with a Jelco and Older SME arm with Koetsu and Stanton cartridges. Why these arms ? SP-10mkII is great turntable, but it must be 10.5 or 12 inch tonearms, at least you have to hear Technics EPA series (... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @harold-not-the-barrel Audioscope’s prices are crazy, the OP has bought a minty PD-444 from japanese seller on ebay just for $2k with two spare armboards and that was a bargain! Normally they are over $3k and each og armbase is about $150-200 mini... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Luxman TA-1 (made by Micro Seiki) is a much better alternative to Black Widow, perfect for high compliance carts. |
