| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @bdp24 when it comes to Technics i'm fine with my EPA-100mkII Boron Titanium with Rubby Ball bearings with the lowest friction, VTA on the fly etc. I think it's hard to beat by any new tonearm at $5k range (i've never tried more expensive new arm... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @rauliruegas you’re right, but the SAEC 506/30 is a professional tonearm, audiophiles are not a part of the pro industry, professional used to be meant for broadcast in the 80s. In the broadcast industry nobody cares about LPs, singles are made es... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @bdp24 I know this tonearm, i remember when Zu Audio released their ZU SL1200 mod with Rega RB-1000 tonearm back in 2011: https://www.zuaudio.com/low-voltage/2011/03/zu-sl-1200-turntable.html Later the RB-1000 was replaced with a better Audiomods ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? The Audiomods is a tweaked Rega tonearm, there are many option for SL-1200mkII and it depends which cartridge are you gonna use. Also detachable headshell is a nice option. I'm still not sure which model of turntable the OP is tying to discuss, bu... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Do you mean the original SL1200 mk1 ? It’s pretty old, but if you will watch this video you will see than John Grado still use one of these at grado labs to check the cartridges. In fact it was a hi-fi turntable that pioneers of the deejayin start... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @rauliruegas I wonder why our experienced member and collector of the tonearms posted this: The SAEC 506/30 was designed to be used with 10" and singles only. It’s geometry does reflect it. -Dertonarm As far as i know SAEC 506/30 is a profes... | |
| SHURE is getting out of the Phono cartridge business. you're late https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/shure-to-leave-the-phono-business | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @rauliruegas Btw, have you interest to buy a SAEC tonearm? I have no intention to buy new 8k tonearm from any manufacturer, i like my Reed 3p "12 tonearm, it's new design, not a 30 years. But i like vintage tonearms as well, regarding vintage t... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! more about SAEC, posted by @dertonarm 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 calc... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! I think the problematic is the Saec Ceramic Headshell which is very expensive, but it’s impossible to twist the cartridge using this particular headshell. It must be a different headshell to make re-alignment with 308N (short) or 308L (long) tonea... | |
| Shure to leave the phono business I think Shure’s best ULTRA series of cartridges are out of production for decades, most of the new Shure were made in Mexico (not in the USA) and their lower range of M-44G or M-447 with conical styli and extremely high output are the most popular... | |
| Moving from MM to MC Nagaoka MP150 has aluminum cantilever and an elliptical tip. What is special about it ??? It's entry level Nagaoka and the price is not cheap compared to far more superior JVC Victor X-1IIe (beryllium cantilever), Ortofon M20FL Super (FineLine sty... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! Good news, but the old 407/23 is that good? Btw the "23" is the angle. The wrong one was Saec 308 models, and probably 317. | |
| Moving from MM to MC @bstatmeister Do you mean the JICO SAS for shure cartidges? The old generation of SAS just replaced with the NEO SAS (Sapphire and Ruby). I remember @halcro post where he explained that he can't detect any difference in sound between an old and ne... |
