| Stylus cleaner @don_c55 i don’t know why there is nothing about cleaning (at all) in the manuals for my zyx airy and zyx 4d, but that’s why we have distributors to address our questions directly to manufacturer. I use fluid cleaning only on cheap mm cartridges, ... | |
| Stylus cleaner @don_c55 google it, i tend to trust Nakatsuka-San and Zyx distributors:Be careful with stylus cleaning fluid. Too much over time and you can dissolve the bond between the stylus tip and the cantilever. Zyx actually warns against using fluid for t... | |
| Stylus cleaner Fluid stylus tip cleaning is strictly prohibited for most of the hi-end cartridges such as ZYX etc! Onzow is the best solution, you will find it for reasonable price from japanese sellers on ebay. Cardas LP with ultrasonic cleaning signal works al... | |
| Stylus cleaner First you must have Cardas LP with frequency sweeps that ultrasonically clean the cartridge stylus and degauss the entire system. Second is Onzow Zerodust stylus cleaner (no liquid). | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Anyone use LUXMAN PD444 vintage direct drive turntable ???How would you rate them against Technics Sp10mk2, those LUX decks goes for 2 grands sometimes. At least there is no need to change the plinth already made for two tonearms. Luxman pd-444 lo... | |
| My Cartridge needs a new Stylus @thefile Axel Schurholz in Germany repaired my Technics EPC-100c mk3, new boron cantilever is no problem for him if you don’t mind boron rod instead of boron pipe. He use Nagaoka boron cantilevers as far as i know.Look at this picture of the new ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Lewn, it looks very attractive, i’m afraid this is vintage advertising. There is only phone number on the poster! Someone should call TEL/ (03) 908-0320 :))Who can read/speak japanese? Prices for Toho Player base Systems:TM-10 (Technics) plinth w... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? I’ve seen many arm pods, but this one ( TH-100) is the most exotic solution along with this heavy TM-10 metal plinth by JoJo Toho Machine (i know nothing about this company).It’s called Toho Player base System for Technics SP-10mk2, also for Victo... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better What's the difference between F and FZ models, Nandric ?Seems like FZ are the rarest and more expensive.I believe those FR-7 with spherical tip is not interesting compared to F and FZ with advanced stylus profile (which some with different coils a... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better I wonder, does the modern Miyajima Kansui or Miyajima Madake easily fills this category of the top Japanese cartridges with this kind of "real" peresentation?Another one is old Miyabi Standard (aka Krell) or earlier Miyabi MCA ... | |
| New Technics 1200 Boofer, are you kidding ? Do yourself a favour, stay away from any clones of Technics by Pionner, Hanpin, Audio-Technica, Gemini, Vestax, Stanton or whatever CHEAP CRAP designed for pro use in the club for djs today. Professional standards is very... | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better It is in this midrange zone that the voices of Nancy Wilson, amongst others, become incredibly real, intoxicating and seductive. It is also in this range where trumpets, saxophones, snare drums, bass guitar & piano sound so palpable you feel l... | |
| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation @fleib Chakster,It will be interesting to see what you come up with regarding the X1-II.Griffithds loaned me a MK I, but the stylus was loose and I'm not sure if I secured it enough. I had better results with the Z1/SAS.Regards, I need to forc... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Ok, my Technics SP20 has arrived, it works fine and looks great (like new) with Saec SS-300 mat. For this deck i'd like to design a custom wooden plinth. Since the local currency is weak for a long time, i hope i can find local craftmans to save s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Never heard about this retipper before, Nandric.I want to know every single retipper who can fix/work on such cartridges as Technics 100 or 205 (top models). As i told you before i have sold many 205 mk4 to my friends, it would be nice to compare ... |
