| Audio-Technica ART 7 @lewm Chakster, It seems other guys here, who perhaps live in different countries, are saying they receive unopened factory containers when they order from 2juki, suggesting there was no possibility that 2juki tampered with serial numbers, let a... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge Looking at the specs of my signature Grace Asakura’s One MC, which is twice as much in price in the old catalogs, i see the same 1.8g tracking force recommended, but the compliance is 15 @100Hz, which is about 25cu if we convert it correctly to 10... | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? Budget version of PD-444 is the PD-441 by Luxman, which you can find for 2k with nice tonearm and cartridge. It’s direct drive turntabel in aluminum plinth (heavy). This little PD-441 is eye candy, classic 70s style, the motor made by legendary Mi... | |
| Any Love for the Grace F10 L Moving Coil Cartridge @ateal they are all measured at 100Hz, Japanese style. Grace are high compliance cartridges for lightweight tonearms. | |
| cartridges The difference between cheap Grado Black and for example the Joseph Grado XTZ is huge, but the styli are interchangeable, so if you don’t mind to get $450 stylus the sound will be like a top $1k cartridge. I like a lot my XTZ. The difference mainl... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @rauliruegas ... certainly not help any one of us. 2juki will not help you eitherI’m sure you’re completey missed my point, as i said i bought very expensive cartridge from 2juki myself based on his 100% positive feedbacks on ebay, but the probl... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @lewm How is your ART-7 competes with Ortofon MC2000 ? For decades Raul was so enthusiastic about high compliance Ortofon MC2000 LOMC here on audiogon, it was probably long time before he sold his soul to digital. As the renegade of your ex belowe... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @rauliruegas 2juki, grey market?. No, I dfon’t thuink so and there is no rpove about not even from chakster because he said some one told him.Anyone can do the same, if you bought something from 2juki then send your serial number to the manufactu... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @lewm 2juki is from Hong Kong, not from Japan as your trustworthy seller/shop in Akihabara. First thing the manufacturer will check is the serial number of the product, what is the reason for them to support grey market ebay dealers and cartridges... | |
| who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ? There is no repair of ZYX cartridges provided by the manufacturer (Nakatsuka-San in Japan) or any distributor !!ONLY exchange, even if you want the same cartridge back to work it will be a different (brand new) cartridge with different serial numb... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @lewm So 2juki is not an authorized AT dealer, or so I gather. Where then would he source his product? Does he obliterate serial numbers? He’s not an authorized dealer of anything, his prices are lower than recommended prices and nearly all his ... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @dgarretson i don’t mind buying even used, but the purists should know that official retip or any support is impossible if the manufacturer detect grey market product. | |
| Nakamichi Cassette Decks What's the problem with The Dragon compared to others? | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 @dgarretson I can’t imagine other defects that might require exercise of warranty. Grey market cartridges with fake serial numbers are not supported by the manufacturers when it comes to retip, refurbishing. The manufacturer support their officia... | |
