| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... It would be nice to read some comments from people who tested ART9 against some serious cartridges, not comparing AT with common Denon 103 or Ortofon 2M (even $150 vintage MM cartridges sounds much better than those carts). Anyone can post a pictu... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Question for FR64S owners:If you ever need to replace the original silver tonearm wire (internally) which wire will be your choice? Talking about internal tonearm wire only. Let me know. I got this problem with my Lustre GST-801 tonearm. When i fi... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @erikt depends on the cartridge, my grado cartridge mounting screws are in the middle of technics headshell slots when i use Stevenson on 1210mk2 stock arm. I think you need headshell with overhang/azymuth adjustment like the AT Technihard AT-LH13... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @erikt Do you mean Technics SL1200 or SL1200 MK2? I'm talking about SL1200 mk2, the earlier 1200 comes with different tonearm, i have never tried. So the 52mm cartridge overhang alingment tool that comes with 1200 mk2 tonearm is not Stevenson geom... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? Battery powered ZYX CPP-1 headamp (pre-preamp) designed for 0,24mV MC cartridges and compete with the finest suts ever made according to Arthur Salvator’s info. It has additional 26db step-up ratio for your MM input to drive LOMC cartridges. This ... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @rotarius ...always liked the Technics alignment (similar to Stevenson) for classical. Their own plastic alignment tool (if you mean this one) is not Stevenson, with real Stevenson the cartridge must be twister a bit more, that's what i have d... | |
| Technics Grand Class 1200 SL-GAE @jbhiller I was seriously considering a new Luxman table, just south of $7k. Their top of the line LUXMAN PD444 is much cheaper, amazing deck for the money and the best vintage japanese deck for 2 tonearms. One of the best design ever made in ... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP @johnhaines I have two Grado DJ200i and DJ100i, the generators of both is identical to Grado Gold. My reference Grado is Grado XTZ (top of the line signature model) and this cartridge is superior by far, it’s close to my top vintage MMs (i have ma... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 It seems like even black 64fx is not so popular as 64s, i wish to know what's the difference between them? The FR54 is a much cheaper tonearm, so i assume it's not on the same level as 64s, not even close, right ? I've never tried. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @sbank haha, not really.MF is "Moving Flux" generator patented by Mitachi Corporation (Japan) If you are not familiar with Glanz MF or Astatic MF cartridges. The best in Glanz series is mega rare MF61 which goes for 1500 pounds (luckily i have one... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @nandric Dear chakster, Despite my assumption that your intention is to praise your own ART 2000 I agree with you arguments and wll try to provide some more. There is this ’’tuning wonder’’ of which only grand masters are capable. But this imply ... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE @schw06 ..looking for cartridge recommendations that are a good match for the tonearm and have a musical character. I think the "music character" is much more important than just matching which gives you nothing, because you have absolutely no pr... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE @chayro I clearly stated that the Denon WAS a match for the Technics arms, which you agree with. No, i don’t agree. Denon 103 and Technics tonearm is the worst combination. No matter old arm or new arm, they are both NOT heavy enough for low com... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE @chayro Denon 103 was always a good match for the Technics arm. That's not true as the Denon 103 is a fairly low compliance cartridge and works fine ONLY on super heavy high mass tonearms. Since you don't even know the effective mass of the new ... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE There are many top qiality vintage MM cartridges under $1000 that easily kill most of the MC under $1000-3000. But no one will tell you which cartridge is good FOR YOU. No problem with tonearm/cartridge matching in your case unless you are not gon... |
