| GLANZ MFG 610LX @lartecafe Fantastic, lucky you! You've god the best cartridge Mitachi ever made, extremely rare and expensive Moving Flux pickup with nude parabolic stylus tip on Boron (or Beryllium) cantilever. And you got it for free, i've got my Azzurra *by M... | |
| Considsidering Replacing a Technics SP 10 Mk II with a MK III. Can I Expect Improvements? @lewm That said, Chakster, where is the flood of Mk3's; I don't see it. You're going right there very soon as far as i know :) | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 @audiofun it’s a current amplifier which means it will auto load the cartridge. One of my phono stage works like that to auto load the MC cartridges, definitely not for every cartridge, but at the moment i like it so much with FR-7f cartridge... | |
| Considsidering Replacing a Technics SP 10 Mk II with a MK III. Can I Expect Improvements? It is true that people in 2017-2018 are selling SP-10mkIII more often then ever. The reason is upcoming SP-10r. Price difference from SP-10mkII and SP-10mkIII is very big, at least 6 times. | |

| Phono stage Over the years i go back to my WLM Phonata reference phono stage and there is always more bass slam compared to any other phono stages in my arsenal. When i used tube intergated with NOS Telefunken tubes i’ve been looking for extended highs with t... | |

| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? I’m currently looking for the Zu modded Denon 103 for my cartridge but Zu is sold out. I use Zu Audio speakers and cables, but if you want to put Zu Audio Denon 103 on your technics stock tonearm it will be a mismatch. You’d better look at what ... | |
| Moving from MM to MC @tooblue Grace are better on light mass tonearms, the compliance of Grace cartridges are extremely high and Technics tonearm is not optimal for them, but i’ve tried my F-9F (Shibata) and F14 LC-OFC on stock technics tonearm, the F14 is much better... | |
| Moving from MM to MC @bstatmeister This is what I was fearing - That it just might not be possible to get better sound than what I currently have You will definitely get a better sound with a better MM cartridge. I have the same turntables (they are not my main turnt... | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? @wspohn @alanholvey the OP already purchased new Technics SL1200GR | |
| Moving from MM to MC Point taken. So, in order to realize the true benefit of MC, much more needs to be spent on the cart to ensure adequate quality? And if this is not possible may not be worth the time and money on a lower-end set-up.My issue is that I do not have a... | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? @knollbrent I’m thinking the Lehman black cube statement and the Orotfon Quintet Bronze Cartridge will pair nicely. Why do you think so? Just because someone use it ? JLTi phono stage from Australia is amazing, with this phono stage you can try ... | |
| Moving from MM to MC I have a Shure M97x cart and it’s been fantastic If this cartridge is fantastic for you then you will be blown away by a proper MM/MI cartridges you can still try for relatively low price. Few years ago a friend of mine asked for a cartridge, he ... |
