| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? Personally i do not listen to digital in my system at all (no CDs or files).But i can speak for analog when it comes to vinyl. I preffer original vintage vinyl. Just normal vinyl, not a 180-200g press or reference LP super-duper pressing. Talking ... | |
| Which headshell to use? We're talking about any headshells or about very good headshells ? Does it improve the sound when you change just a headshell ?Dual pin Zyx Live 18 DOES (pretty much) more than any other headshells i have tried on my EPA-100 tonearm. P.S. SAEC ULS... | |
| Vinyl listner Sorry but Denon DL-103 is very low compliance cartridge, so you need a heavy tonearm with high effective mass if you want to hear the music in a good way with dl-103. Technics stock tonearm is the worst tonearm for this cartridge, a total mismatch... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Thank you Sonofjim for your comment. I assume people love this tonearm, there are not so many Reeds turns up for sale used (unfortunately). After few years of using EPA-100 on my SP10mk2 i'd love to try something better. Preffer "12 arm for my sp1... | |
| Conical cartridge question When some people talking about trackabityly or quietness of some cartridges which make then better that others in these terms i just don't understand it. Believe it or not but i never had any tracking problems with cartridges of different types (m... | |

| High end cartridge made in USA? Yeah, very low output MI designed for MC phono stage - very interesting., Same with Soundsmith Sussurro Paua with output of 0.3 mV I'm curious how those low output MI sound with MC phono stages. As opposite to this Some people use high output MC w... | |
| favorite phono cartridge Different cartridges for different tonearms thats for sure. On the other hand it's a lot of fun to try many good once and thats a part of the hobby. How do we know the one we like is the best without trying some others? Upgrade is endless process.... | |
| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 ********* Doesn't the Zu Audio modded Denon 103 cart require a totally different tonearm to be mounted on a Technics 1200 series TT in order to get the best sq out of it? That was the impression I got when looking at the Zu Audio Denon years ago.Y... | |
| Conical cartridge question You'd better stay away of modern dj cartridges like current production of stanton, sure, ortofon. I have 17 years experience being a pro dj myself. They are all good trackers but the sound is very thin, not involving. The best sounding dj cartridg... | |
| Which headshell to use? Surely the leds are important but silver or copper is a matter of taste. Also if your tonearm internal/external wires are copper what's the point to use silver led wires in headshell or vise-versa? If your cartridge coil is copper why you need sil... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? I believe oustanding Argent MC cartridges are all US made in the 80s, but they are very rare and hard to find nowadays. Argent made diamond, ruby and sapphire cantilever versions. The company also made acoustic room lens before they disappeared fr... | |
| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 I have these decks since 1998 and it was my dj set-up for ages. All cartidges i have tried in the beggining were total crap in terms of sound (but it was very long time ago).The best hi-end cartidges i have tried later and liked very much on this ... |
