| Recommend which SPU? Right, our MK2 are the same according to specs, the different cart is MK1BTW Your MK2 has glossy lacquer body? | |
| Recommend which SPU? There is no Royal GM MKII cartridge, only Royal GM or Royal G MKII I’m just trying to be correct with actual models1) Royal GM (1998) https://www.ebay.com/itm/263279889753 (frosted headshell finish)2) Royal G MKII https://www.ebay.com/itm/28273876... | |
| Recommend which SPU? @dhcod well, It’s two different cartridges. The SPU Royal GM model was released in 1998 to celebrate the Ortofon 80 year anniversary, the Royal G is MK 2 version of that cartridge. There was also a universal Royal N model (without SPU headshell). ... | |
| Recommend which SPU? @dhcod interesting question. I asked myself some years ago. The worst SPU ever (IMO) is Classic GM MK2 with conical tip, i was influensed by the hype and reviews from those people who call it "musical cartridge" as opposite to "high-end" cartridge... | |
| Grace Level ll I can confirm about Boron (Orange) and Ceramic (Green), Ruby of course Red. I also have Black and this one is not transparent like all others, but same shape. This is unknown to me, looks like Beryllium or Aluminum. I've heard that Grace made a li... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family I use everything to compare what's the best in my system. This SUT is superb, but i bought it for the cartridge with output of .05mV (the Ortofon MC2000) while the JLTi designed for about 0.2mV and higher. Fidelity-Research FR-7f output is .15mV a... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Raul, it was perfectly illustrated above with my pictures to show the difference in the stylus tip mounting method and the cantilever materials of the AT-ML150 and the AT-ML170 models. The frequency response is 5Hz - 40Khz vs. 10Hz - 30Khz. The 15... | |
| Grace Level ll @ateal some info about Level II RC is here maybe you can add some pictures later | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family @artemus_5 well, then my JLTi version is newer than yours (and the price is even lower), i got it for a year, comes from Australia, from Bjoern Rassmussen (who’s got a Danish roots, he’s originally from Copenhagen). My JLTI was modified by Joe to ... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family @artemus_5 i use the same JLTi phono stage :) | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice There is another great Audio-Technica cartridge you may considering. It's AT20SLa from the late 70's. This model with beryllium cantilever is a killer. The compliance is higher than AT-ML series. I've come across Dlaloum statement about that old m... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family @thaluza well, i can point you on setting of the Nakatsuka-San (ZYX designer) own headamp for his top of the line cartridges. The load impedance on this device is fixed at 125ohm. When a designer build such device for his best cartridges the choos... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Victor UA-7045 is superb tonearm, i like everything about this arm and i have many tonearms to compare, i think this is the most underrated tonearm ever (which is good for the buyers). It was top of the line Victor tonearm for their TT-101 turntab... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice @ateal Can I ask what determines the frequency range, for example 5 to 40,000. Is it the cartridge body/generator or is it the cantilever/stylus? Both! It's how they are working together.Once i replaced styli between high and low inductance gene... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice You’re right, it will be a different cartridge anyway, but i will tell you that replacement styli for AT-ML170 and AT-ML180 are impossible to find even in Japan, i have never seen any of them in the past 3 years, only with used cartridges. That’s ... |
