| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage My problem is that I like all of them and this is only one turntable on the image (with 66fx and 64s), Ikeda is on my Denon DP-80. | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage I wouldn't trade an old IT-345 for 64s | |
| A pitch too High! They just about sell the turntable, they have no clue about things we are discussing here. One of the big reasons I have opted for SME is because the guys who sell it here are also the owners of SME. It’ll help in getting help on turntable issues... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage Old IKEDA have better finishing (matte grey) and stainless steel armtube. I have an old Ikeda IT-345 and it’s great. P.S. What I don’t like about new IKEDA is the gloss (mirror) finishing. | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? right decision! | |
| Top cartridge for vintage 45s "7inch vinyl @pcourtney yes, got it, it's fine like wine :) | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming If you already purchased then what’s wrong with the tonearm? Counterweight is a common problem. Simple test for you, just set the counterweight like this and you will see if it’s broken or as good as new (like on my picture): If your coun... | |

| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. My cables and interconnects are boutique labels such as Black Cat which give great sound for the price and I am told they are shielded. This is my old Black Cat Morpheus cables, they are not shielded! They should NOT be used for a signal fr... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Interesting @dgob I never tried Highphonic cartridges, but I've seen many of them. Do you know who designed them? | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. ... fewer than I have. Got it now? No, I didn’t get it. I asked the OP, not you. Why do you need so many protractors if all 3 most popular alignment methods are on ONE Feickert Protractor and it’s 100% accurate for all turntables and all to... | |
| A pitch too High! If you need a proper turntable with VTA on the fly, detachable headshell on magnesium tonearm... look for brand new Technics SL1200G (or cheaper GR model) and don’t get the advice from a person who listens to his records with dust cover on :) | |
| New Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable - Need recommendation for MM Cartridge and Mat Sadly Pioneer cartridges like PC-1000 mkII are not available from Pioneer anymore, it was superb design for their best turntables/tonearms. In my opinion, after various tests in my system, the best Stanton cartridges are similar to Pioneer. ... | |
| New Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable - Need recommendation for MM Cartridge and Mat It's a shame that Pioneed stopped making cartridges long time ago, their PC-1000 mkII was a gian killer on the reference Pioneer tonearm on this turntable. You may not find NOS Pioneer cartridge, but you could find a NOS Stanton 881s and this gr... | |
| New Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable - Need recommendation for MM Cartridge and Mat So far, I've received a mix of vintage and current cartridges. If you recommended vintage, just curious why? Does the possibility of receiving a worn out cartridge, or a stylus that is past it's prime, concern you? Seems like replacement stylus f... |
