| JVC tt-101 repair Did you resoldered all the eyelets by your own? This is what Dave adviced me to do too, but i never tried yet.Anyway you have to run your turntable for some time to check it out. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm I have no idea how you can compare the tonearm with one set of internal wires to the same toneam with another set of internal wires. You must have a computer memory as the rewire process could take a few hrs. Or you need multiply samples of the sa... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Anyone familiar with this Grace HS-7 headshell with treated holes (about 15g, aluminum die cast) ? According to model number it was release after their famous Carbon Fiber HS-6 headshell. But the HS-7 is pretty rare and probably made for grace LOM... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Silver or Copper it is all depends on individual preferences, there no absolute. I've tried Silver Van Den Hul on my old EPA-100, but i use copper since that on all my tonearms. Also what's the point to use Silver inside the tonearm tube if the ex... | |
| Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor? @invictus005 That's not true, Mint is a pience of plastic for $130, there is no pivot to spindle measurement "on the fly" for ANY tonearm. Also MINT for its price does not have ALL 3 Alignments (Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson). Dr. Feickert's second... | |
| Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor? Just to let you know the Technics alignment is very close to Stevenson, but not exacrly Stevenson. Well, at least on the old decks, but i think geometry of the new tonearm is the same as the old one. For the price of Mint Best Tracktor (which is ... | |
| Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor? You see this white plastic headshell holder ? There is a mark on it, stylus tip must be above this mark, adjust your cartridge in the headshell. This plastic gauge (52mm) is from the old Technics, but i think you got the same with GR. | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? I think @nandric has at least two big boxes of ARS components in his system. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm If we have to rewire Technics GAE tonearm or Technics 10.5 on SL1000R then i don't know what to say ... Why shall we rewire reference tonearm from Technics made today for audiophiles ??? It make sence to rewire an old SL1210mkII, but a brand new ... | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade .Thanks for your input as well. From what I've read is that the XTZ cartridge has been out of production for a while. Besides, if I would spend $450+ on just the stylus, for the same money why wouldn't I just upgrade the entire cartridge?? You'... | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade XTZ stylus alone cost $450+ and it was top of the line stylus, you can try 8MZ for $150 or much better stylus for more. It worth it as the stylus is the most expensive part of the cartridge. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm @invictus005 Reed is out of Lithuania. I was born there. Interesting... Oh, really? That's nice. Loads of friend in Lithuania. I went there to meet up with people from Reed to buy my 3p tonearm. Vilnius is not far from St.Petersburg. | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? I hope your interconnect cables are well shielded and designed for phono signal, not just regular interconnects. Also i hope your tonearm is grounded, you can try additional wire with stripped ends (one to you phono ground input, another stripped ... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! "The WE-8000 is the only SAEC tonearm where the offset of the headshell is correct.The SAEC 506/30 was designed to be used with 10" and singles only. It’s geometry does reflect it. Out of curiosity I have calculated a different alignment for the 5... | |
