Life After Technics SL1200 Mk5
As long as it works well with the Ortofon cartridge, you are good. I also feel that AT150mlx is a bit of high on treble side, but not at the fatiguing level. My SPU cartridges sound rather smoother than AT150mlx. 
Matching Cartridge + Headshell + Tonearm combination
Thanks @lewm .The DA307 arm will come with PCL3 headshell (8.5g), and I was wondering about cartridge choices.You said "in terms of resonant frequency." Is there any other factor to be considered in this tonearm/headshell/cartridge combination?Par...

Denon DA 307 and DA 309
Anybody has used both DA307 and DA309 arms and has opinion on both?It looks like DA309 sells at around $100~150 more than DA307. Is DA309 worthwhile for $100~150 more if somebody has a choice between DA307 and 309?Thanks in advance. 
Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion
May worth a look at Elf cable. It works very well on my system.

I have AT150mlx with Clearaudio Bluemotion and Satisfy arm. AT150mlx certainly sounds far better than my Oppo 105D and Esoteric UZ1. For example, I have both CD and LP for Patricia Barber. Simply there is no comparison.I suspect the phono preamp m... 
Denon DA 307 and DA 309
It’s been just a couple of days sinceI got the turntable and have had no luck to find a headshell for DA-401 yet. ;-)Let me know, just in case, if you think keeping three headshells for this tonearm is too much for you. I have DL-103R and Ortofon ... 
Denon DA 307 and DA 309
DA-401 is much better tonearm BTW The Denon DP-80 that I bought recently is with DA-401, but I did not know that the headshell for DA-401 is special and there is no other replacement. I wonder why Denon made such decision. At least they should ... 
Difference among Denon turntable plinths DK100, DK100G, DK100F, DK200, and DK300?
Thanks for your reply.I purchased a DP-80 with a plinth, but the plinth does not have any label, not even the Denon logo. The receipt of the table says DK100G. Then, I searched for Denon plinths, and it came up with different models, but they all ... 
sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7
I have the same feeling from my Harbeth C7 in comparison to my Gershman Avant Garde and Tyler Linbrook Signature systems.The high pitch violin or horn sounds a bit harsh with high volume.  However, at mid volume, I am just OK with Harbeth. Diffe... 
Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table
It is like guitars, bikes, ...,  You always want what you have plus one. So, it is never enough.For me three arms are reasonable (1 mono + 2 stereo cartridges for MC and MM). Four is better (1 mono + 3 stereos for 1 MM, 1 LOMC and 1 HOMC). If the ... 
Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable?
Thanks for your help.My plinth already has two holes, for 9" arm and 12" arm. I don't think I would have another hole. ;-) 
Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable?
Many thanks.I have a plinth that has a hole drilled for 9" arm and I was wondering whether I could fit 750EB, but I guess not without drilling another hole.Good to know that 10" arm is not uncommon.  
Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable?
Thanks!I thought that there are only 9" or 12" long arms, but I've just found that there is 10" arm (Jelco SA750E). I wonder whether there is a huge market for 10" arm if somehow it cannot be easily tweaked to work on a plinth where 9" arm was used. 
Reviews on JungSon amp/preamp combo: JA-1/JA-99C
Yes, I see that you had a terrible experience with Jungson and Jungson dealer. I am not sure though whether it is an exceptional event or a rather widespread event. All I can say is, buyers of Jungson gears need to be aware of the reliability and ...
