| Technics SP 15 SP 25 Technics is a less problematic turntable than many other vintage rurntables, personally i use ONLY vintage turntables and never had a problem with any of them (except for the Victor TT-101). My friends using my ex Technics SP-20s from 1976 and bot... | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? Hanna is a low budget mediocre MC cartridge made by Excel Sound Corp, even the specs clearly demonstrate it (rolled-off highs and average bass, alluminum cantilever), nothing special. Why do you want an MC cartridge like Hanna? Victor X-1II is sup... | |
| What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge? What is clearly stated in the manual of ZYX Premium 4D cartridge is that a LIFE TIME of the 3 um x 60 um (Micro Ridge 0,07 mm) stylus is 2000 hrs at 2g tracking force. I believe that Nakatsuka-San is qualified to say the truth even if he’s got a p... | |

| Help me make a decision! Turntable overload Thinking my budget for the TT is $700... Look for Technics SL-10 turntable with built-in MC phono preamp and Linear tracking tonearm! Some of them comes with Technics p-mount 205 mk4 cartridge (or with Technics 310 MC). It's not a plastic toy, ... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR @stevecham But my favorite, and I HIGHLY recommend it, is a vintage Pickering XSV3000 (or 4000) and you can still get styli for these. I have a minty spare of Pickering XSV 3000 if anyone need it, the XSV3000 is equal to Stanton 881s. I like thos... | |
