| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? @hdm I was shocked at how much better my Ortofons performed with a Yamamota HS-4 carbon fiber headshell. The jump in performance was pretty dramatic. Geace HS-6 Carbon Headshell is what i like. Another one is Sony HS-160 Carbon Clad Headshell. I... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? @lewm thanks, but what's your tonearm choice for this high compliance MC? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, first the AT-ML180 is not compatible with any other styli in AT-ML series, because the generator of the AT-180 is different ellectrically from all others! For this TOTL cartridge stylus replacement must be ATN180, not the lower models. I’m f... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I can’t speak for MK2, but the original EPA-100 was fine for several MC cartridge i’ve been using for a few years: AT-ART2000, Zyx Airy III and Zyx Premium 4D (7.9gm with silver base) . The headshell was original Technics and later Zyx Live-18. ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I wonder, how many owners of the Technics EPA-100 mk2 tonearm we got here ? Most likely it was the best Technics tonearm, it was the most expensive tonearm made by Technics, it seems to have the best materials such as metal pipe alloy of Boron a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You ATN160ML replacement stylus assembly can be "transparent" to my AT-ML170 without surgery, it is MM replacement, lol. The problem is that replacement stylus for those models is impossible to find without cartridge, especially for the price that... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Which sut, headamp or phono stage do you use with MC2000, Lew ?And which tonearm ? My ortofon MC200 is here in the box. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Right, cantilevers of the AT-ML180 and AT-ML170 are Gold Plated Boron, the AT-ML150 is Beryllium, but the AT-ML140 is alluminum. I’ve never seen AT-ML160 and this number is missing the the catalog, very rare model. Generators of the AT-ML180 is wa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric I can illustrate your words easily. This is a picture of my broken AT-ML170 / ATN170ML stylus recplacement. The rest of the gold plated hollow pipe material is the actual cantilever, not the collar of the cantilever, but the cantilever it... | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's As far as i know the original SPU and Denon low compliance cartridges have similar signature sound, but the SPU is even better, because the SPU already perfectly integrated with its own headshell. I’m not a fan of that signature sound at all, main... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @tubed1 if i remember correct the ClearAudio use Audio-Technica generator in their expensive cartridges. It's been said here earlier. As for the Boron cantilevers i doubt they are hollow pipe, most likely rod. So in terms of cantilevers those mode... | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's If you like Denon mods, do you also like SPU sound ?There is only one SPU with the most advanced stylus in the world - the Ortofon Replicant 100 (does not require any mods btw). | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's Gray Research brand later became Grace, but why do you need Denon DL-103 if you have ART-9? | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? Look at the Cartridge Man, then look at the GradoCompare the prices, you'll be surprised. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @jtnicolosi you will be surprised by X1-II if you will come across this model with original nude shibata needle. Welcome to JVC fan club |
