| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Ninetynine, it looks nice. The shape of "headshell" on my reed is different, it's not removable from the armwand, probably earlier version, looks more like Da Vinci than current round shaped reed shell. That's interesting, i'll check for EMT. | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Chris, your Garrard plinth is amazing and i love it pretty much, this design is one of my favorite aesthetically , but it's a different shape and not for SP10 unfortunately (and SP10 is totally different design itself). So don't get me wrong and t... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 cartridge I love my limited edition Audio-Technica ART-2000 cartridge, 1000 units made for Japanese market in year 2000 as AT reference cartridge. In my system it sounds amazing with ZYX CPP-1 headamp to MM input on my WLM Phonata reference phono stage. For... | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Thanks Doug and SarcherI'll screw up my lower compliance ARGENT cartridge soon to check it against a bit higher compliance AT ART-2000. As for the ZYX without Silver Base, Sarcher, yes i owned Airy-3 before and preffered 4D Premium with Silver Bas... | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Hello Sarcher, did you measured reconance frequency with those high compliance (25-30cu) cartridges and test LP ? | |
| Yuour cartridge for Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo Seriously, it would be nice to hear some feedbacks from Reed users. Which cartridges well matched and which are not (based on your own experience). | |
| Recommendation for a 12 year old Then buy fisherprice, columbia, vestax plastic manual turntable for nothing. Most people grew up with analog of fisherprice turntable for kids in the 70s and played with it even when there were much younger, those decks are manual. At the age 14-1... | |
| Recommendation for a 12 year old Buy her a DJ turntable like Technics SL 1210 mk2 fully manual and then you will see. Technics is hard to beat, it's like a tank! Kids alsway tryin' to "learn" how it works and only with this turntable she could do a backspin and even scratch with ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sarcher30, one NOS EPS-207ED needle stylus for EPC-207 cartridge is available on ebay right now BTW. I see your point, i can't use headshell integrated cartridges on my new tonearm anymore :( Anyway this year i've seen NOS in the box stylus availa... | |
| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? Grado PH-1 in nice wooden box cost $500 new (much cheaper if you buy used). I have two in my second system for a long time, but mostly use it for MM/MI. Anyway high gain option also available to use with MC. Also check Sound Smith phono preamps! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sarcher30, i think you have to try 205c mk4 if you like Technics sound of this 205 series. I have tried 4 copies of 205 mk3 and at least one of them was top condition with original stylus. Later i've tried it with new Jico SAS but the original tec... | |
| what is Thomas Schick Tonearm effective mass? Any comments on stock cable and stock RCA connectors on this tonearm? I have spare Xhadow RCA, maybe worth to try instead of cheap Neutrik... | |
| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit Lewm, thanksHow can i find Howard Stearn? Without power supply i can only look at the turntable.The main question is where to buy OG power supply or modern replica to make this deck sing? | |
| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit Sounds good Dgarretson , thanks | |
| what is Thomas Schick Tonearm effective mass? So with 14g headshell it would be 16+14= 30g effective mass? and if the SPU weight is 30g alone, effective mass would much higher?Looking at ortofon cartridge/tonearm matching diagram i can see that for cartridges compliance under 10uN/mm (like dl... |
