| Audiophile LP's ^ ^ Great and very informative post. For jazz fans I highly recommend the ECM label German pressings, Pat Metheny etc.In general, the quality of vintage records is higher, 50´s, 60´s and 70´s. "Dynamic compression" kinda nailed the opposite. The f... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Didn´t I tell you : )Raul, when old Micro-Ridge starts to lose its ridge (when it wears out) that immediately affects on sound quality: it first gradually and soon rapidly looses nuances (accuracy) and dynamics (power), i.g. sound becomes lame and... | |
| Weak point in this analog system ? The basis first, your turntable is good but not that good. Best of Luck | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Roxy, It is possible as I have experienced. When you are 100 % honest, when you tell everything essential in your ad, take many sharp close photos and tell everything essential about your return and refund policy, your accepted paying methods. Whe... | |

| Audiophile LP's Blue Öyster Cult: Agents of Fortune (CBS UK 1976).Bought it for Xmas 1976. Years later when I first listened it with true HQ cartridge I was blown away as the whole sound/music space became visible with unbelievable refined and nuanced sound in mi... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? ^ Exactly. I have bought a few HQ vintage carts off Audiogon (all from famous Russian fellow Victor Simakov) and a few off eBay. All perfectly functional despite their age (most from 80´s). And for reasonable prices as they all have proved to be i... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Correction to my previous post: I meant Hyperelliptical (not elliptical) | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new That´s good news. If the ridge is much more thicker, it may last for 2000 h. I will study this very carefully. Actually elliptical lasts longer, i.e. maintain its functionality and thus its quality level longer than old Micro-Ridge because it has ... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new This Karat Nova 13D is seriously a rare find: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/1443678 The very finest from Dynavector IMO. However, I´m not interested because of its integrated headshell design. However, it can be used without its headshell as w... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Btw, Micro-Ridge´s ridges literally wear out surprisingly fast. In fact, the sound starts to loose dynamics and nuances (detail) after 500 hours play, even on clean records IME. I noticed this more than thirty years ago using SHURE´s Micro-Ridge c... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? If you have worries why buy ? As for NOS and new stuff or even used gear claimed to be fully operational but seller refuses to answer to your questions and requests and so you think you have doubts about seller´s honesty ? Go elsewhere. |
