| Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower Fantastic input from all the members. Challenging each other but I am learning a lot at the same time. I am still thinking of how to handle this.. | |
| Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower Thanks for all the information. I am considering a direct mount tonearm.is there a sonic difference between Reed 3p and 2a | |
| FR66S vs Ikeda IT-407 vs FR66FX Are you saying the Reed 3p and Schroeder tonearms are better than 64/66S everything else being equal?how about early version IT-407 vs 64/66S? | |
| FR66S vs Ikeda IT-407 vs FR66FX @dover Thank you.How about the difference between FR64S vs 66s vs 66FX vs IT-407 cartridge and rest of the set up being the same. | |
| FR66S vs Ikeda IT-407 vs FR66FX @dover is tracking force equivalent to compliance. Low tracking force means high compliance and vice versa. I also have a Thorens MCH II van den hul cartridge which tracks at 2-3 g. So I can use a heavy tone arm for that I guess. | |
| FR66S vs Ikeda IT-407 vs FR66FX I am going to try others cartridges like an SPU, Koetsu as well | |

| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 @noromance Is the SPH same for 301 and 401 (30mm size). Will it work with grease bearing as well? Any you-tube videos on how to change the bearing? Thanks | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 I spoke with Sien regarding the SPH Bearing. He made a lot of those for Lenco and TD124 and now makes them for 301/401. 1/3 the price. I am planning to buy one from him. @noromance thanks for the lead. Anyone here have any experience with SPH bear... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 @fsonicsmith I sure will. May I ask why you did not use the Brass platter and bearing and spindle from STS? Greg said that the one he makes sits on top of the original platter. Its like having two platters. | |

He stocks AudioSilente idler wheel. He also has long spindle bearing and bigger platter which sits on top of the original one. He... | |
