| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Nandric, I don't know what you are talking about. I am not searching for a T2000, and I would not buy one if offered to me for a "bargain" price. I am very happy using a step-up device custom made for me by Dave Slagle (Intact Audio), who is a f... | |
| Why are Nottingham Analogue Studio turntables so expensive in USA? +1 for whitefish. Forgot to mention it. | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I have never seen a VPI Classic but if what Mijo says is true, if you do have a removable mount, then why are we even here? You can have any tonearm you want provided the P2S distance is not crazily different from the OEM tonearm, simply by replac... | |
| Why are Nottingham Analogue Studio turntables so expensive in USA? It’s the US distributor who most often causes such a pricing distortion. Not meaning to condemn the particular distributor of NA. I owned a Hyperspace. It was a great performer made greater by the addition of a motor controller. But $7000 used to ... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, My only point was that the example shown is not relevant to the proof that the pivot should be level with the plane of the LP. He raises the AR XA tonearm pivot, causing the headshell to tilt up at the rear, in order to get it to move f... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Neon, I asked the question earlier, but what was the damage to the cantilever that needed repair? I ask because apart from damage that might accidentally be inflicted if one were to try to change the stylus without also changing the cantilever, I ... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Raul, agree with your point about resonant frequency but I use mine in a low mass tonearm with a lightweight headshell. Anyway the last thing I’d want to change would be the high compliance of the MC2000, which I believe has a lot to due with its ... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Dear Nandric, I do refer to the MC2000 that I bought from you. I thought you told me it was re-tipped by Axel with one of his last assemblages (cantilever and stylus) that either resembled the original or was per original Ortofon spec. If it IS ... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today I think we went over this ground before the repair. I also have my MC2000 mounted on a DV505, using a CF headshell. Mine was retipped by Axel, with original aluminum cantilever and original or original shape stylus, which I think was press fitted ... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Dover nicely summarized your options in the very first response to your question. The subsequent posts delineate your best specific options in alternative tonearms. The choice for a course of action yours. you could ask yourself what is the penal... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Why did the cantilever need repair? The original stylus is press fitted. Was he able to do the same with the new one? What tonearm? Thx. | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. "It’s amazing the amount all of you know.." It’s also amazing the amount all of us don’t know. Like why an outboard pod is not advisable, especially the pods shown in those photos. I don’t argue that it cannot be done well, but the doer must be so... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I did mention earlier that the Triplanar and most if not all Reed tonearms are surface mounted, such that no new hole is needed for a vertical shaft that needs to penetrate the mounting board. You would only have to drill usually 3 small holes fo... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I apologize for raining on the Mijostyn parade, but in this video, where the narrator is trying to demonstrate the importance of having the pivot located at the level of the LP surface (minutes 20-25 or so), he is really comparing the condition "h... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, If, instead of insults to my intelligence, you would point out to me what minutes in the video explain the physics behind having the pivot in the plane of the LP, I would watch that part of the video. I don’t need the part about the wond... |
