| Custom Fees for Tonearms on Ebay From Japan I’m not in the USA, but when I checked for a friend I realized the tax free limit is $2500 (for good for personal use) and then you pay 3-4% import tax if declared value is over $2500. READ THIS!Slightly different information here. It doesn’t matt... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? taking the cartridge off and inspecting it under a microscope revealed that the diamond was displaced in the cantilever (in comparison to my 17d's) on this particular cantilever the diamond appeared to have been set into an open ended slot and ... | |

| Anyone converted to refurbished Garrard from a good belt drive? I am surprised redone garrard cost upwards to 20,000. $2000 - $4000 for a nice refurbished Garrard 301 without plinth (and without tonearm). | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? ART-9 topic is irrelevant today, this is discontinued cartridge and our friend Pani replaced it with EMT 75th Anniversary after all, the hype is over. My Dynavector 17d2mk2 (for example) designed for light mass tonearms. The compliance at 100hz is... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? What is clearly stated in the manual: Either cantilever or stylus of Karat is not replaceable. In the case of the worn stylus, your cartridge is replaced to the new cartridge with special rate charge of the retail price. When the cantilever is bro... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I am also using Reed 3 p arm. will that work with etna sl and van den hul? @ml89009 Reed 3p available not only in different length (from 9’ to 12’ inch), but with different wood (arm tube) which change effective mass significantly. It depends what... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? Dynavector 17D2 mkII is excellent cartridge, today I took a picture of my spare sample, still NOS in the box. This is my 4th Dynavector cartridge, and the 1st Dynavector with unique magnetic flux damping and softened magnetism (patent) along wit... | |
| Question on Soundsmith carts You don't have to buy everything latest even if the manufacturer will tell you it's better. In my opinion SoudSmith Zephyr and mkII are OK, but the latest mk III is awful looking new cartridge body design! In terms of design the latest is definite... | |
| Tonearm Matching Your calculation will be wrong unless you understand that 10cu is Dynamic compliance at 100Hz ! But for tonearm/cartridge matching you MUST know dynamic compliance at 10hz (not at 100Hz). After simple convertion from 100Hz to 10Hz you will realize... | |
| Off center (not bent!) stylus? No, I ask them for repair and retip, but I ended up getting the original replacement. Probably they can do retip on original cantilever, but your situation is different since the suspension was damaged. Anyway, I think it’s nearly impossible to fi... | |
| Off center (not bent!) stylus? Ask Julia if they can repair your cartridge with their Paratrace stylus on different (new) aluminum cantilever. Stereohedron stylus was designed after Quadrahedron and it’s much better than Quadrahedron. Then there was Stereohedron mkII. XSV/5000 ... |
