| Adding mass to a tonearm Soundsmith has different headshell cartridge screws that changes mass. Has anyone used these things?Yes, they use 3 types of metal and their weight is about 5g. The problem is, they are high and they raise tonearm’s centre of gravity.I got better ... | |
| To all LP12 aficionados RadiKal & a new plinth. | |
| Cartridge breakin ......how long? 120 - 150 hours with Koetsu. The suspension also needs break in, so you can put the tonearm on the LP, when the turntable is not in use. | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP I have a friend with LP12/Valhalla/Ittok and a top VPI. Guess which one gets more involved? | |
| Van Den Hul what is the best cart ? Van den Hul offers free inspection of the cart after the first 100-150 hours, which is very useful. Expect optimization only with no downsides. Best vdH cart for me is Condor, but depending on sound preferences and system signature, you might pref... | |

| Lyra Skala installation Very nice explanation of the different screw material qualities by Jonathan Carr!Where can I get those Lyra M2.6 screws in Europe? | |
| Koetsu US Importer What happened indeed?I'm trying to find out some of their cartridge mounting kit, but they gone like the dinosaurs.The Koetsu threads are wider and standard 2,5mm bolts come thin.Any ideas? Length must be about 5mm. | |
| Koetsu new sound 100 hours and there are signs I can have the timbre back. Cleaning the stylus tip with a MoFi LP#9 helped a lot. | |
| Koetsu-like Cartridge recommendations Can you demo a new Onyx? The recent carts have some changes in the design and the sound: tighter, without losing the lifelike timbre. Make sure you have an excellent transport. Koetsu has been designed on turntables, that can do rhythm, and on tho... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? Try 500 Ohm, no cap. That's what I have for the platinum Condor. | |
| Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna? Al2,I did compare the two carts from your quotation. I'm not sure when this post will show up. Can you give me an email? |
