| Tonearm recommendations @cjaronica For Denon 103 you can buy the Thomas Schick "12 tonearm ("9 version is also alailable). This is the most elegant tonearm on the market, made in Germany. It was designed for low compliance cartridges such as DL103 and SPU. I strongly rec... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Well, i just got an email from www.Audio-Reparatur.de about estimate price for TT-101 repair service and it’s similar to JP’s current rates, but the vendor is in Germany, so for those who’re in Europe it must be great and Tuchan’s repaired TT-101 ... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Well there is only one cantilever that is not coming from the BIG manufacturers of the styli/cantilevers and this is Bamboo Cantilever of Miyajima Madake modern MC. | |
| isolation feet for Luxman PD-441 turntable @bdunne last year another experienced a’gonner (213cobra) and a proud PD444 owner adviced me the following: My Luxman turntable footers are a multi-product combination.I use Herbie’s Grungebuster dots with two-sided adhesive...http://herbiesaudi... | |
| isolation feet for Luxman PD-441 turntable Actually the PD-441 is not so heavy, i use two PD-444 turntables with stock feet, why you don’t like them? I think the stock feet designed with the same idea that used in Audio-Technica AT-636 pneumatic suspension insulator (those are very good). ... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Well, yeahI don't use JICO SAS myself anymore, tried only once and prefered the original over the jico sas (boron), but it tested on 205c mk4 cartridge with its unique original stylus and unique specs versus jico sas boron. Also i don't like the w... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Dover, i think the origina Technics 100c has Titanium cantilever and only later models such as mk3, mk4 have Boron cantilevers (not sure about mk2). | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) @rauliruegas Dear @chakster : """ The best Fidelity-Research cartridges with Air Core also comes with alluminum cantilevers and those cartrs considered the best of the best. """certainly are not the best of the best, not for me. Are good cart... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? When i decided to change resistors i asked our Lewm how to do that. And actually it was pretty easy if you or some of your friends are ok with soldering. Locate the 47k resistor by looking at your phono stage (or check at schematic) unsolder them ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @fourwnds i have Joseph Grado Signature XTZ which is probably the best Grado ever made. As you noticed i’m a big fan of Audio-Technica AT-ML series, this cartridges can compete with Grado XTZ and works fine at 47k standard. Not sure which Grado do... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) I will add my 50 cents... I don’t think any cartridge with Boron Cantilever is always better than Sapphire, Beryllium etc. I’ve never owned a cartridges with Ruby or Diamond cantilevers, but i have owned a few with Sapphire cantilevers, and many w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @halcro raul's review of AT200SS was more optimistic, but i'm talking about AT20SL | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I remember everyone's favorite was AT20SLa and i'm still curious what's the different between AT20SLa and limited edition AT20SL (Beryllium,Shibata) ? Not so much info on vinylengine about them. Has anyone compared them with original styli (not th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Haha, exactly @lewm @halcro well, the japanese seller (on ebay) confirmed to me that Victor X-1IIE has TITANIUM CANTILEVER for sure. This is new information for me. If it's true then the X-1IIE is different from the X-1II not only because of the E... | |
