| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Hmm, that's interesting, never heard about errors on Hi-Fi Test Record before. How can we measure resonanse freq. in real life with other record? Any other records (proper one) available to make sure the Hi-Fi Test record is not a good tool for it... | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? @rauliruegas do you use online resonance calculator or you’re talking from personal experience? I was quite sceptical about optimal performance of Stanton 980 LZS on my 18g Reed 3P Cocobolo "12 untill i received my cartridge and mounted it. From m... | |

| Recs for a 2nd tonearm cart @icorem I’ve seen used Kansui 6 times at least, from different sellers. The best thing about it is that you can re-tip it in Japan at Miyajima for very reasonable price. And if you buy new from Robyn Wyatt in US you can return it if you don’t like... | |
