| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? Hi Raul, i’m gonna experiment with different alignment and different cartridges since the reconstruction of my new room is finished, finally. All set-up is ready to use and i’m looking forward to test everything. Now about alignment for everybody:... | |
| TUBES: Telefunken EL84 & ECC801 Anyone tested affordable Sylvania Gold Brand 6201 vs rare Telefunken ECC801? | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip @nandric BTW those SAS styli do have tension wire. You’re right, my mistake. I took a picture of JICO SAS recently, before i sold it. This is the backside of the JICO’s replacement stylus assembly. Here is the structure of the jico sas from the ... | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip @antslappy i assume you have tried all retippers in the world to say who's the best? If you chose Andy please read jpjones story above in this thread, maybe you will change your mind. | |
| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? @nandric So I never owned those 7’’ kinds. Are those also called ’’records’’? Haha. Believe it or not, but many bands from the 50s, 60s, 70s never released a full albums, just one or two singles on independens labels in 7’inch format (often just ... | |
| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? @nandric Stevenson wanted ’’optimal values’’ near the spindle with assumption that the grooves end is about 6 cm distance from the spindle. To put it otherwise he thought that the ’’inner grooves’’ are the most problematic for the (conventional) ... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 vs Triplanar MK VII UII @jsman $500-600 | |
| What tonearm will better mine? @noromance Chakster, nice set-up. Thanks for tge info. What improvements would there be over the Jelco with my Decca SG-P? I’ve never tried Japanese Jelco, but German build quality of Schick is superb, i like oldschool style of design and simpli... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? @noromance not sure which cartridge do you have, but the Schick "12 tonearm was made especially for Ortoron SPU! For your Garrard 401 it would be a perfect match with low compliance cartridges, but for normal cartridges (5-10g) you need lighter co... | |
| Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505 @halcro As he rightly says....is this the world's only tonearm that allows VTF, VTA and antiskate all on-the-fly? Reed 3P allows all these options plus the azymuth on the fly :) | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip I think turnarround time was about half year when Axel fixed my old EPC-100c mk3, he used slightly different method, because he doesn't change the original 100c mk3 housing (brass) to alluminum part like on those 205 mk4 (glued to original 205ED4... | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip @nandric I’m not in contadiction with your point of view. This cartridge was rebuilded by Axel and you’re correct when you said the collar (alluminum tube) made from a different material compared to the original (which looks like a brass). To make... | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip I got on hands Technics 205C MK4 re-cantilevered and retipped by Axel. A friend of mine decided to sell one of his two samples, both were fine-tuned by Axel in the past. It’s a good news because i can show high quality pictures here to all a’goner... | |
| AT cartridges @johnnyb53 I mean the prices on local japanese market for japanese analog stuff, they do not ship internationally. | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? @nandric first of all i'm talking about rebuild now as the solution which is works great (new nagaoka cantilever and new tip fitted in the original technics plastic holder) and i have tested at least four 205 mk4 and one 100c mk3 rebuilded by Axel... |
