| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Not necessarily "bridged internally". Maybe, maybe not. There’s a lot of great info provided by JC in the thread linked below:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/which-mono-cartridge-at-around-1-300-00 Generator and coil orientation is the key.... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment I have four of them here. Only one of which is Stevenson. Two Baerwald and one a modified Lofgren B. So that would be news to me. Mind you, I have known what I wanted each time I ordered and specified that with Yip. He had no problem delivering wh... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment If you don’t specify a specific alignment when ordering Yip will provide you with designer intended alignment for your specific tonearm. That could be Stevenson, Baerwald, Lofgren or proprietary (ie. Technics, Rega). So he is 1) not supplying Stev... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! Have Andy Kim at phonocartridgeretipping.com or Steve Leung at VAS Audio quote you a retip with a new boron cantilever and microridge or line contact stylus. Send it to either of them and you'll probably have it back within a couple of weeks and i... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Absolutely. I'm currently running an Accuphase AC2 which I purchased without a stylus on it off ebay. I had another re-tipper re-work that cartridge about 4-5 months ago with a Namiki boron cantilever/microridge stylus combination and it is a beau... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Hi Bill:I don't need another cartridge right now but I have to admit that I was watching that one that Steve had online for sale LOL. The price was pretty attractive I thought ;)I believe Steve retipped that with a FG stylus but I am curious: do ... | |
| trying to understand the Linn motor Improved power supplies for AC Motors like the Linn Lingo and VPI SDS will typically provide start up voltage (in North America) around 110-115 volts necessary to start the motor and achieve rotation of the platter. Once that rotation is achieved ... | |
| Budget phono stage under $100, cheap but refined, does it exist? Buy this and be done with it. Lots of reviews out there. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649487624-project-phono-box-2/ | |
| Cartridge new or used ? No problem buying used. Preference is for them to actually be broken. Broken cantilever, missing stylus. Open coil would not interest me. Off to the retipper once received. | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo Nandric:I was involved in a group buy of boron/microridge stylus/cantilever assemblies that a dealer on another forum organized earlier this year from Namiki. His initial thought was to pursue a diamond cantilever/stylus option but the volume pric... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? I’m with Catcher. With 90%+ of the systems out there 64 dB will be plenty of gain for a .25 mV cartridge. You could drop to .2 mV and likely have no problem for lack of gain unless you’re running a system with a passive preamp or horribly ineffici... | |
| Denon DP-59L TT - straight arm or s-shaped arm? According to the manual at vinylengine you would either need the medium counterweight (capable of balancing up to 10 grams including mounting hardware) or you would need to add mass to the back of your existing counterweight in the form of washers... | |
| Retip for zyx Don't let him get you down tooblue LOL. I commend you for offering it up. Would be interesting to hear someone's impression of both; that is for sure. | |
| Retip for zyx Lew: If you only have a few hundred hours on that Koetsu I wouldn’t even think of retipping it until you hit 1500-1800 hours. As long as it’s sounding good and the suspension is good just let it do its thing and enjoy it. My guess is that the bass... | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread https://www.audioasylum.com/reviews/Phono-Cartridge/Uwe-s-Wood-Body-Denon-103-103R/Ebony-Wood-Body/vinyl/69/694577.html I wrote that review in 2007. Used a Uwe ebony body, a generic aluminum body and another body in clavellin from Uwe. Found the e... |
