| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas Yes, it's in his head.The model is called "Fantasia". | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Yes, I think it's crazy to mount a cartridge on a trampoline.You are trying to measure the groove accurately.Imagine jumping up and down on a sprung bed and trying to meaure the height of a mark on the wall.The only way it would sound better would... | |
| Tonearm Ground Loop Michael Percy Audio, KABUSA, Parts Connexion all have a range outside of Cardas. Connex, Discovery, KAB Superflex should be easy to work with. If you know the length some will pre strip & tin the wires for you. | |
| Tonearm Ground Loop @rondollarsignRewiring the arm shouldn't be too hard.Best way is to attach multiple draw strings ( cotton or slk thread ) to each wire and pull it through.Then attach the new wire to each draw string and pull through one at a time.That way you'll ... | |
| Tonearm Ground Loop @rondollarsiFrom the photo it looks like there is no earth wire from the tonearm tube to the post that the large black earth (to phono earth) is connected to.From the tonearm you should have right channel +- ,left channel +-, plus earth. ( 5 wires... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 @tzh21y Sounds like you should just find the best stylus replacement you can for the Pickering - worthwhile even it ends up as a backup.I'm personally not impressed by the Hana's - if I was going budget I really like the Audiiotechnica AT33PTG - a... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 NOW, but you guys always referring to your faulty memories from the 70's, 80's. How can you even remember the sound of a cartridge you tried about 40 years ago ?? Well, their memories are probably more reliable than taking advice from someone prom... | |
| Who Else Has a Collection of 78 RPM Records? @mijostynYes - 65um is 2.5mil.There some useful info here on stylus size for 78's.https://www.esotericsound.com/CartStyli.htmI went for 3.0mil because most of my 78's are pre 1940's | |
| Who Else Has a Collection of 78 RPM Records? I have a small collection - I use the Kirmus for cleaning. Just water.Only suggestion I have is that after doing some research I purchased a Nagaoka NMP3.0mil stylus to use on my Nagaoka cartridge becuase most modern 78 styli off the shelf are 2.5... | |
| Acquired A Dynavector DV505 Now I Got To Put It On Something I own both the Ikeda Kwame and Dynavector arm ( purchased new ).It doesn't sound any good, you are likely to have tracking problems.I use an FR64S for the Ikeda kiwame. I did manage to get it to track well on my Naim Aro but that is not ideal in ... | |
| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges A good tonearm should not have a sound of it's own like the Tri Planar, Schroder CB and Kuzma 4 Point 9. A good cartridge will sound exactly the same in all three arms. I can say the for the Windfeld Ti which I have heard in all three arms on a ve... | |
| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges compliance is well down the scale of significant factors to the point of irrelevance in a good arm. You may find those who will argue with this but they always seem to relate matching issues they’ve had with other arms and not an Origin Live one.O... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @terry9 @ledoux1238 I tried panzerholtz as an armboard material, but it is not dimensionally stable. I used 25cm thick stock - it was not flat. I had to cut, invert and laminate 2 pieces to get the armboard dead true.With the carbon fiber wand I w... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? @millercarbonSo anyone wants to say you can't get good bass because unipivot, same as tablejockey said, false statement of the day.Where do these ideas come from? I'll tell you where: audiophiles repeating blather overheard from other blathering a... | |
| Cartridge recommendation around $2k? @dhcod No bass issues. I've mounted cartridges I can't afford on it and I was blown away by how balanced and transparent this arm sounds compared to many high priced arms I've used in the past. People are squeamish about Uni's for some reason. I'v... |
