| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Yes, Luxman PD-444 has build-in springs inside their feet (those are not soft springs, because it’s super heavy turntable), but this is the way this turntable designed, no additional spring or isolation platform required. See my point? When I say ... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? The question is who is your supplier, you can buy NOS MC2000 only from serious collectors of vintage high-end, and they can honestly describe the condition. My NOS sample is absolutely perfect and fully original, I am so happy to have it in my col... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? I also discovered a recent MC 2000 sale Ad’ where a Beryllium Cantilever is in use. 1) This is total BS on yahoo, the cantilever transplanted from Audio-Technica cartridge if you can’t see it !Gold-Plated Beryllium cantilever is Audio-Technica exc... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? Why do you need isolation platform? Isolation from what? Hi-Fi rack or some nice and heavy wooden furniture is more than enough for a good turntable. People are crazy about springs and all that BS. If you have some problems with bass feedback or y... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? I can only say than between MC2000 and next mkII version you have to choose MC2000 first version (not mkII). The MC2000 is very rare model, dedicated headshell included in the box. This is my NOS sample. And this is a booklet. MC 2000 incorporate... | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration No its not. the Artisan Fidelity plinth is a sophisticated constrained layer plinth using panzerholz and other materials and includes a drain block for the main bearing. As always you have nothing to add @dover, and you always arguing about someth... | |
| Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm? No, you’re not wondering, not at all. You’re just trying to take a cheap shot. Nobody recommended a Koetsu. I said buying used opens up a lot of options and mentioned one example I have seen.You can convince yourself of your cleverness but the pla... | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Porter’s plinth is the ugliest box ever (imo), even if technically it’s great (here is the article), I believe they are NOT available commercially and they are very expensive too. Artisan fidelity plinth for Technics is also “just a box” (even if ... | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration I think that OMA only sells the ridiculously expensive caste iron plinth ~$10K and even if that was ’affordable’ I don’t think I would want it. Not only, the Graphite plinth was their previous model, it was about $2k when I asked. You can always a... | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration I would like to have a 2 arm, constrained layer plinth built and have the motor unit mounted ’naked’. I am presently searching somewhat ’affordable’ plinth builders and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What is affordable? In my opinion th... | |
| 2021 J.A. Michell Gyro SE w/ Tecnoarm A cartridge synergy There are LOMC cartridges under $2k, but you need a mid compliance cartridge, the latest version of AT ART-9 for example. Dynavector cartridges are good, I like KARAT series the most taking in count your price range. I'm not sure why having same t... | |
| 2021 J.A. Michell Gyro SE w/ Tecnoarm A cartridge synergy Turntable is irrelevant, but the tonearm mass is important, your arm is basically a Rega, 12g mass. Read this article first. Then make sure you know your cartridge dynamic compliance at 10Hz (not at 100Hz like all Japanese carts, you have to conve... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . I could do without all ’DJ’ type platter speed controls/sliders, LEDs, lights / strobes etc but they don’t really bother me or detract from performance. How can it bother anyone? Some people don’t understand why there is a pitch control on High-En... | |
| Recommended FR 66 service However, Ken from Otomon Labo said the arm tube is not gunmetal. It’s been said before by expert that FX armtube is composite materials. Ken claimed that gunmetal used for other parts of 66fx tonearm (except the armtube). But the users or 64s tone... | |
| Recommended FR 66 service BTW disassembled 64 is here and disassembled 64s is here And a post from unlucky guy who did not finish with his 64fx here |
