| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges @solypsa I would have thought, given you are in Russia, that you would pick up the phone and ask Roman ’who he is’ directly. Of course it is easier to just assume and post accordingly.So it was him on audiogon today with all the strange comments d... | |
| Otono-Edison MC cartridges I have no idea about those cartridges but being somewhat expert on Japanese woodworking tools, the Japanese tend to hoard the best stuff for themselves. They export the second grade stuff. To get a decent hand made dozuki you have to know someon... | |
| Top cartridge for vintage 45s "7inch vinyl Wow, a Russian troll (who’s post was removed today) tried to comment in my first thread on audiogon from 2012. So this zombie thread is up again, sorry.So I will answer myself 11 years later:Technics EPC-102SP was designed for use on tonearms made... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it Thanks for clarification | |
| New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ? @mixupload 1. Weak magnets. Samarium Cobalt in MM or Allnico magnets in MC are great. 2 .Low-quality enamel wire.LC-OFC or PC-OCC wires are great. 3. The generator core is made of nail wire or plastic.There are coreless design like FR-7Fz for exam... | |
| Otono-Edison MC cartridges Если тебе нечего сказать по существу, то лучше промолчать, а не демонстрировать свое невежество всему сообществу @mixupload | |
| Otono-Edison MC cartridges @mixupload you have no idea what cartridge I’m talking about, you don’t even know it exist, so go away and learn something before post here, at least learn Japanese first, this cartridge made for local Japanese market and already discontinued, han... | |
| New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ? Are you crazy @mixupload? With your 7 posts on audiogon you must be an “expert”. I have many modern cartridges, including the “very best”, modern is NOT always better, and if you think they are 100 times better you comparing them to junk! Reading ... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it What’s the difference between RX-505 and 505E ? | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it @inna when I checked those models on hi-fi shark the prices are higher than for RX-505, too much for me, simply because vinyl is still my main media format. I wouldn’t pay more than $1k for Nak deck ideally. | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Pure copper mat from Artisan Fidelity cost $1200 and it’s more than Micro Seiki CU-180 in MINT condition made in the 80s. In Japan where Micro Seiki are cheaper it’s not a big deal to buy even thicker replica for half price, but people prefer orig... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading I'm trying to fight off the urge to buy something. LoL. You understand, dontcha? (-: For sure, I have the same disease. Try Gold Note PH-10, I bought it after JLTi mk4 | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system I have a Pickering XSV4000 MM that really changed my perception of MM's - just as enjoyable as my MC's Absolutely, for MC lovers Pickering even made a low impedance (low output) version of his top MM - XLZ/7500 and this MM cartridge must be co... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Which version of the JLTi do you have? My version is mk4 with manufacturer mod (optional loading for MM up to 100k if needed). Now mk5B available. I wouldn’t even look for a tube phono stages. In my opinion phono stage must be Solid State and JLTi... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Micro Seiki mat was one the best from the beginning when it was made in the 70’s, it was an expensive mat from the start, maybe not as expensive as today, because a MINT- condition of everything from the 70’s and 80’s is normally expensive (even c... |
