| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jmowbray, Peter doesn't do suspension work, only cantilever/stylus replacements. Sent it to either Andy or Axel. Andy's in the state of Washington (Needleclinic), and Axel is in Germany at http://www.schallplattennadeln.deI've use the both and can... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro,Did you use the double-back tape to attach the Achromat to the Victor platter? I ask because my mat could not be any flatter! I've checked it with a straightedge.BTW: Jico just got a little more of my money! (grin) Place an orderRegards. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro,When your Acromat arrives, you will notice that it has square edges. Looking at the inside of the base of the raised edge on the platter, you will see that there is a slight radius. Because the Acromat's diameter is a tight fit when placed ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Doron,+1 I have read your post a couple of times. Made me think!Thanks. | |
| First Turntable Advice Theo,I agree with Stringreen. Get a table that you can upgrade when the time comes. Far cheaper than trying to sell your old table to buy another one. Also, VTA adjustment is a must have. You stated easy to set-up. Well shimming cartridges is not ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Henry,This Jico mat that you use on your TT-101. Does it fit 'in' the lip of the platter or did you have to trim it a little?I ask because I am considering ordering one.Also, how did you connect the link from the work Jico that you typed in one... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halcro,In addition to my TT-81, I also run the VPI Aries. Mods on it include that thick 2 inch acrylic platter. Because of the 'not so subtle differences' between the two turntables, I installed the Accromat from Firm Funk in place of the rubbe... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I, being the owner of two TT-81's, also pay close attention to anything related to our DD tables!(grin) | |
| Lyra Delos vs EMT TSD 15 I have a Einstein Barco TU-3 (EMT) with a SFL tip. I would and have put it up against many multi-thousand dollar cartridges and it always raises above!A few that do come close are the Kiseki Gold Spot and the Benz LPS. | |
| Cartridge impedance loading question Hi Lewm,I am a bit surprised at your preference of 47K for the MC 2000. I own two of them and find 47K a bit bright in my system. I much prefer 100 ohm. Do you know what the Nom. Capacitance (pF/ft) is with your phono cables? Regards, | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Pani,Hello. I have ordered a AT ART 9 and will be looking for your 1st review. I also have many high priced M/C cartridges. The Krell KC100 (Mayabi) being one of them. Another being the Benz Micro LP S.Keep us posted. I will add anything I can whe... | |
| Which headshell to use? Yogiboy,LP Gear sells the same Sumiko but calls it Zupreme. They only ask $55 for it! BTW. Jelco also sells the same head shell but lists it under their name!Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tom,I have bought a NOS Z-1E. It's a complete cartridge with stylus and a Victor head shell. All this for $34 on the Jauce auction site. When it arrives (probably 10 days), if it is as described, I will offer you my current Z-1S body (that is if i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Timeltel,Tom, did you locate a Z-1 body. I think the guys over on the Audio Circle were working on providing you with one. All you will need is the SAS from Jico to literally rock your boat! (grin)Best regard, | |
| soundsmith work on Benz or Maestro v2 I have sent cartridges to SoundSmith for suspension repairs and they returned them stating they do not do 'repairs'. Only adjustments as needed in regards to cantilever replacements. Andy at the NeedleClinic in Washington State or Axel in Germany ... |
