| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for all the great recommendations guys 😃And welcome back Noromance....we have missed your commentary.And your results with the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell still baffle me 😳 | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Thanks guys...🤗Great (new to me) information....Thanks for the photo of the 'Real Thing' Gallus...from Thuchan's website.I don't know if there would be any differences (other than the integrated headshell) between the 88D and 88D-Custom as there i... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Since finding my 'Holy Grail' of cartridges (SONY XL-88D)....I wondered whether or not I would be able to listen to all the other cartridges I have collected and culled over the last 12 years...👂As I intimated in my last Post....the MOST important... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 That's interesting Gallus....I had the figure of 7500 DM but that was 'here-say' from the Internet...Is it possible for you to post a Link to that particular issue.....or perhaps some further comments from the article? | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 The Pua-9 looks like an interesting arm Gallus....one I had not heard of previously.THAT fact bothers me 🥴Vintage tonearms, like vintage cartridges and turntables gain a ’reputation’ if they are really great.....a reputation that grows with time i... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Eric Kingdon may be slightly biased Gallus....🤩?The normal XL-88 is far better than the either the XL-55 or XL-55Pro IMO.....but trying to corner the market on XL-88D cartridges in mint condition, is not on my radar 🤪There’s no way the XL-88D can ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? That TT-81 looks to be a bargain...😃Then there's this TT-101 which can't seem to find a buyer....? | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Putting the tone arm at the end of a "diving board" that can flex is never a good idea. The primary dogleg arm board appears to add a lot more mass at the suspended portion, which can only make matters worse.THIS......👍 | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks, Halcro for another interesting comparison and tell Princi “nice haircut”.🐶Glad you and Dover liked the recording Frogman...Decca 😃You are a 'true-blue' (Australian idiom) Decca (cartridge) 'Fan-Boy'....👏Not that there's anything wrong with... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks Dover for your brilliant commentary....👍At this point I am done with comparisons - could you please just send me the Sony for Xmas. Hahaha 🤣And no......it’s not your imagination! The Sony is a wonderment...Don’t forget....after dozens of ’s... |
