| I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm @shadorne Change your damping fluid on the arm control lever to something thicker. I have to fix the armlift on my Lustre GST-801, any ideas which fluid to buy and where? Thanks | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Glanz MFG-61 with it’s tiny cantilever and very special stylus tip is completely differen beast and way ahead of the "normal" Glanz models with huge aluminum cantilevers like on 71L (and more conventional like on 31L). I have never seen this model... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Talking about Jico SAS, which is close (or identical) to Micro Ridge aka Micro Line (patented by Audio-Technica), and taking in count the magic of the vintage cartridges, i don’t see any reason to avoid the original design utilizing Micro Line tip... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @jtnicolosi There’s a certain internal conflict that doesn’t allow me to accept that a $200 MM cartridge will replace $3000+ MC cartridges then you have to spend more on some rare expensive vintage MM :) do you have any experience with the Garr... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @halcro i hope my PM went through? @banquo363 Dave Brown replied quickly with helpfull information. Resolding of all the eyelets is a must have.

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @jtnicolosi effective mass on my Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo is about 18g and currently i use my Garrott P77 on it (loaded at 100k). But my Garrott is an old one, tuned by Garrott Brothers. The new Garrott cartridges are a little bit different, maybe eve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No problem, but i was not impressed by XL-55 when i had Zyx Airy, it was long time ago, maybe XL-55 was slightly worn, it was a cartridge of my flat mate. Over the years i've been looking for top vintage MM cartridges, tonearms and turntables to f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I would happy to buy CS-100 from you and Raul at lower price than 881s mk2 if you think CS-100 is not good :) Personally i sold 980LZS when i've checked CS-100. At the same time the Astatic MF200 and MF100 (equivalents of the Glanz MF31L and MF71L... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @lewm Chakster, Per your post of 6/21/17, I would take issue with some of the cartridges you chose to place on your "best ever" list. For example, many believe that the Stanton CS100 is not even the best vintage Stanton cartridge. In my opini... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @invictus005 I've tried 100K, but do not prefer it. It makes the sound brighter, which is not what I like most of the time, but I can see it working in some cases. great you can change the loading, some of the very best Grace and Victors must... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @invictus005 don’t hesitate to tell us which vintage MMs have you auditioned then? And have you tried 100k loading instead of 47k ? | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove back in 2016 and in early 2017 you said:I got hold of a turntable JVC TT-101. My model is a sample version..... It does not seem to brushed aluminum and anodized but left natural finish, serial number 10100575 Mystery? I finished thes... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, i made notes reading this thread. The source for my suggestion was your old post (see the quote below). I assume it never happened and you shipped to JP, which is great. @lewm I am also thinking hard about sending my Victor TT101 to Germany ... |
