| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... Is the basic turntable good enough to warrant installing the Originlive Encounter tonearm? No. It is a midfi TT similar in performance to something like a Rega P6 or P8. If you are going to spend a couple of thousand - buy a better TT. Having... | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge @dwcda At $5k you should look at the Etsuro Blue ( Cobalt ). Resolving and very musical. It is a substantial upgrade from the Hana's ( which are the Etsuro designers lower range ). Personally I found the MSL nice, a little bit of warmth in the ... | |

| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Mijo, you mean it fits like OJ’s glove? Yes, but it will murder the sound. From all reports the Magnify has stability issues on flexible floors. Been a bit of a disaster. | |
| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks @drmuso I used to distribute both products - there are no problems running ET2''s on Sotas. 1. There are no skating forces generated on the ET2 air bearing linear tracking arm, therefore your tests are redundant. 2. To check the level and that... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @rauliruegas I'm surprised you've mentioned the ET2 - when I distributed Sota here our reference system primarily used Sota Vacuum/ET2 - an outstanding combo. We never had a problem with keeping the Sota sub-chassis level. Despite some folk ob... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @vinylshadow You presume too much. A friend of mine distributes the Supertrack here. As far as Dohmann goes he will mount any arm you want - "they are all great". Make sure you replace the horizontal bearing pivot point and re-polish the arm bl... | |
| Dual 505-4 or Thorens TD280 Mk IV? Thorens TD280 - simpler design, less to go wrong. They were competitors in price originally. | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Sumiko MDC-800 The Arm, which SOTA's David Fletcher designed to partner with his table. Yes - and David quit making the Sumiko arm when the SME V arrived. There's a reason for that. I'm familiar with the Supatrac. Whilst it's quite good valu... | |

| Yamamoto HSA-01 headshell/head amp I heard a fet based front end mounted at the headshell end designed and built by Peter Suchy in the mid 80's at CES. Only difference was that he ran an external power supply with wires running through the arm tube. I never saw this go into product... | |
| Wish to Upgrade Phono Stage and Cart @desalvo55 The Aphelion 2 is a massive upgrade from the Apheta 3 and I can't understate the word massive. I have listened to this combo in a very high end system and it is very good. The P10/Aphelion 2 will exceed many much more expensive analog... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @judsauce @quincy Absolute phase. Think of it this way - If you have cone speakers and absolute phase is correct the drivers first inpetus is to push out and then back as the signal is applied. If the absolute phase is reversed the cones fir... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @lewm I should have added that, for those who can hear differences in absolute phase, You should be so lucky. Unfortunately I hear inverted absolute phase even in foreign systems. David Fletcher of Sumiko the same. Sadly there are many reco... | |
| Benz micro glider cartridge loading advice needed. @judsauce Please note that when you switch your SFP1 to MC it inverts phase. You will need to invert the cartridge connections plus to minus and vice versa on each channel. Personally I would try 47k and work your way down. I have run this car... |
