| Fun with MM cartridge Hello @mofimadness In my OP, I used the term “hard cartridge to drive, has low output “. Should’ve stated “has low output for the MI or MM I have used. I relocated a Grado Model 8 cartridge I had stored away, its output is 3.5mV. The F9E is 3.5... | |
| Fun with MM cartridge @rauliruegas Thanks for the info on the Grado. I’ll give it another try in the next couple of weeks. I’m going to enjoy the F9E awhile longer. Joe | |
| Fun with MM cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr I thought the stylus was removable. I recall buying the Ruby, but have not located it, yet. It was 40 years ago, maybe my memory is incorrect. Joe | |
| Fun with MM cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr Thank you for the information. I will look into SS reworking the cartridge. I’m still looking in my toy boxes for the F9E-Ruby. I thought I purchased one? The sapphire cantilever rings a bell with me also. Joe | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? @oberoniaomnia if you have the $$ look at the ClearAudio Double Matrix US. It scrubs, does US and vacuum’s both sides at the same time. Some members here have this RCM. Have read good reviews, not too many negative reviews. If my RCM stops workin... | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? @oberoniaomnia I will let the US RCM wipe and blow album partially dry. If still wet I’ll put it in a drying box. Then onto the VPI for a rinse, brushing and vacuum. If you put a damp/wet album on the VPI put a paper record sleeve on platter firs... | |
| Fun with MM cartridge @lewm thanks for the input. I’ll most likely give the Grado another shot, it has very few hours on it. That’s why I tried the Grado before the Grace, I thought it was the better choice. It did get some very good reviews. It was an expensive cartri... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? @westcoastaudiophile Your comment just cracks me up. Thanks for making me laugh. Joe | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? Greetings, I agree with @hifiguy42 . Bought my VPI 16 in the early 1980’s. Converted it to a 16.5 a number of years ago. Never had a problem of any kind with it. It keeps spinning and sucking. I also use a US RCM. I use the VPI for the final rin... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Greetings, Sorry for be late to this posting, I want to make sure I had proper information on this subject. I can’t tell you the difference between a $5k and a $10k cartridge, but I can tell you the differences between a $5k and a $16k cartridge... | |
| Fun with MM cartridge Greetings, @lewm Thanks for the correction on the Grado cartridge being a MI. I thought it might be a MI. I might re-install it and let it re-brake in. I bought it in 1989, maybe listened for a few hours and packed it up, since I was move up to A... | |

| Furutech DeMag a's user manual Doesn’t seem that the picture I posted, didn’t work properly. I’ll try later. joe | |
| Furutech DeMag a's user manual @likecap The operating instructions for my unit. Joe | |
| Furutech DeMag a's user manual Greetings, I purchased my Demag in 2011, it didn’t come with a manual, came with a 1 page operating instruction. Very basic. Turn unit on, put record or CD’s or cable on unit, hit start button. It goes thru a 16 second cycle. Can be repeated many... |
