| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Let me join Dave in welcoming you back Professor (Timeltel)....👏I thought that, if deep discussion on Signet cartridges was not enough to stir your keyboard.....car racing had won you over forever...😁It was YOU who tutored me, and introduced me to... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Technics claimed the SP-10MKIII would maintain speed with up to one thousand tonearms tracking at 2 grams each.I'm aware of that claim and would love to see it demonstrated....👅But seriously....I've seen claims by the new Monaco DD about its speed... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Steverino,According to Vinyl Engine....the weight of the TK-7LCa is 6.5Gm whilst the TK-7SU is 6.8Gm.The Output of the 7LCa is 5mV whilst that of the 7SU is only 2.7mV.The 7LCa has a nude Line Contact stylus on a beryllium cantilever whilst the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Yes best-groove.....is me 🤡Just demonstrating how the Victor DD turntables are able to maintain absolute speed consistency under the dynamic loads (including 'stylus drag') of up to three cartridges at the same time.Haven't seen that test with the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? "Agreed. Your listening impressions of the TT101 as compared to the DP80, both with your upgrades and plinth, would be very informative."But I can't help thinking.....perhaps understandably biased...👀❓ | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The TK-7SU is still rated highly chez moi but is very rare with its original Shibata stylus. Pipped by the TK-7LCa for supremacy in my collection...the 7SU gets little airtime unfortunately. | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? For those looking for a good Victor TT-101....http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=s541556118This one looks worthwhile.The FR-64s tone arm alone is worth $1500 so I’d expect this auction to realise close to $3000.....Compare that to VPI Direct at... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Nice Post Dover....👍 | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) I think that those who question my, say, interpretation of Carr'sopinion about saphire cantilevers should provide the referenceto his post about cantilevers. OK...here's a logical consequence.....J.Carr claims in a Post on A'Gon, that sapphire can... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oh Jessica......You might want to reduce your VTF to 1.25Gm as I recall Jico being pretty insistent on not exceeding this tracking force...🤓RegardsHenry | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Hi Jessica,Glad that you tracked down my report and found it useful....My guess is that they changed the manufacturing to get away from the bonding to boron, since many people think bonding is a "cheap" technique for such an expensive stylus.Apart... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I remember everyone's favorite was AT20SLaWell I don't know about that....!It was never mine....I had the AT-20SS Limited Edition with both after-market and original AT stylus and found it (with both styli) to be anaemic, shrill and uncomfortable.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jessica,I’m pleased you are enjoying the Victor Z1/SAS.When I recommended this combination as the easiest way to sample the ’best’ of vintage MM cartridges, it was with the benefit of years of buying and testing over 60 various models from the ’Go... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? The German vendor who fixed Tuchan's TT-101 does not respond to my emails. Perhaps he is on vacation....?You could try phoning.....? |
