I reached out to the seller for the ZYX Ultimate Omega and see if he is a dealer/distributor. If you want ZYX ask Merhan at SoraSound, but he can ship only within USA. 
New TT or new Cart? Technics content
The TT has already been upgraded:Feet, dampening, tonearm rewire, outboard power supply. I’ve done it all. Great! Another cartridge is always a good idea. Stanton 881s is a killer for the money, especially NOS, great for Technics tonearm (Kevin a... 
New TT or new Cart? Technics content
You have to completely rewire your Technics first (internally too), then add Isonoe feet and SAEC SS-300 mat, and try mid or high compliance vintage MM (not MC) cartridges - this is the best for Technics lightweight tonearm. Upper models from Grac...

Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above
I wouldn’t even touch the RUBY BALL bearings on Technics EPA-100, especially on EPA-100 mkII. There are people who are always ready "to sell you an improvement", someone in his garage pretending to have better knowledge than Matsushita Japan. The ... 
Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge?
I'm wondering if this cartridge can really compete with carts in the $2-3k range.  My sense is it can. Then you have to compare it to make sure. In $2-3k range you can find absolutely amazing cartridges (old and new) with some unique features,...

FR 64s and long 66s are heavy mass toneams made of stainless steel.64fx and long 66fx are NOT heavy mass tonearms, they are made of aluminum and copper. 64fx with optional counterweight (W250) can handle superheavy carts like SPU and FR-7fz, but w...

I read that if the vtf was hard to turn it would need to be cleaned and regreasedDid you have your cleaned and regressed?I did, but only on my 66fx and only because the side panel fell off on arrival. Look at the VTF spring of my 66fx with new gre...

So 1.25 inch = 31.7 mm Basically you could expand your mounting hole towards the platter by only 0.39 inch to mount another tonearm with 230mm (9.05 inch) Pivot to Spindle distance like Fidelity-Research FR-64fx. The top plate of the FR tonearm b...

Jelco is drilled thru with no arm board.spindle to pivot is 240mmdoes anyone know a better tone arm that would have that 240mm so I could mount it in the same location? Same PS distance does not mean the same diameter of the mounting hole in your... 
How To Safely Ship Cartridges For Retip
@nandric What is the import tax in the Netherlands if you got an incoming parcel not from the EU ?You will immediately pay import tax once your shipper declares the real value of the cartridge (for example if your EUR 1300 cartridge is insured to ... 
Tonearm adjustments on the fly
How can you know that the Reed device is the "best of them"? I own both a Reed 2A and a Triplanar. The Reed is indeed a great tonearm, but the adjuster on the TP allows for finer tuning, not that I think fine tuning is so important. I fully realiz...

Tonearm adjustments on the fly
I was wondering which tonearms allow for easy adjustments of VTA, SRA, azimuth, and such on the fly, i.e. without having to go through a lot of effort to make changes, like unscrewing a tonearm from the mount in order to raise the tonearm, etc. @w...
