| Cartridges for Music Genre’s There are many more genres of music than you can recall. | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s Yes, I have EML 45 tubes here in the box, but my idea was to enjoy vintage tubes before modern tubes. | |
| Does Age Matter? Reading the average age of audiogon posters I am not surprised, this is what I expected before. Actually, it explains a lot to me when a conversation with some other audiogon members is like a conversation with a dad (because of the 25 years diffe... | |
| How old is your cartridge? I think the suspension is fine because the cartridge sounds very good. When suspension is softened a cartridge body will be too close to the record surface with recommended tracking force. But the stylus tip on mk3 is very tall, so even if the da... | |
| Can You Defeat the Anti Skating in a Schroder CB Tonearm? Just like on Reed 3P? Well, at least on 3p it’s adjustable (also magnetic anti skating with screw in and out). Test record for anti skating is good | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s RCA Radiotron UX-245 was amazing! Unfortunately one tube died slowly glowing purple and making heartbeat sound in my woofer, never seen anything like that before with old tubes, but those Balloons are by far the oldest I ever tried (from 1930’s). ... | |
| Nagaoka Mp200 on p25 Actually you could look at the cartridge dynamic compliance (nagaoka and hana are on the low side) and then check for rega effective moving mass. Then look here.Japanese cartridge manufacturers never use 10Hz to measure dynamic compliance, they us... | |
| Ortofon stylus broke ?! with that cantilever, it has to be bonded. (glued) By definition bonding it means bonded (glued), not nude. There is contradiction here. 1) Nude stylus glued to the cantilever and glued Bonded stylus are two different things. Nude stylus is one p... | |
| How old is your cartridge? @audite84You can’t ship anything to VdH if you don’t know him personally, you can only ask his official distributor in your country if it’s acceptable. The price is insane and not worth it with your 205c mk3 cartridge. I seriously doubt the inform... | |
| Reed 3P armboard mounting Dr. Feickert just copied today what was made 45 years ago in Japan by Luxman (much better design in my opinion). Pivoting gunmetal armboards also designed way back by Micro Seiki as far as I know, and I think it's worst that Luxman metal armboards... | |
| Reed 3P armboard mounting Proof lies in the modern SME methodology. With modern SME arms there are no headshell slots-the cartridge can only be mounted in one fixed position and the solution is to slide the tonearm mount closer or further back-CHANGING the P-S! There is an... | |
| Reed 3P armboard mounting My Reed 3p screwed directly to the teak wood armboard and fixed with nuts. I have a template with my tonearm from the manufacturer.I think you don’t need threaded inserts if you can’t make precise PS measurement. If you have a protractor like Feic... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? I would love to take home a GR and a G and compare them to the 1200 M3D. I need to find a local dealer who sells both. @ronribbonsyour your turntable is not M3D like you posted many times by mistake, it’s MK 3D to be correct. Any old Technics in S... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? @hobo1452 All good info that I did not know since I am not a musician and don’t listen to classical music. I have never felt the need for, nor have I missed having a pitch control. Apparently, I’m not the only TT user who feels that way, otherwis... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? I demo'ed a 1200 years ago and didn't think it was particularly special. Neither did the customer who upgraded it. Which 1200 did you audition? We're talking about NEW high-end turntables introduced in 2018, the name is SL1200G and the price i... |
