Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible
Keep it for a mono cartridge. 
Tonearm base for Denon DK300 plinth?
I am guessing that you are either missing the tonearm mounting board entirely or that you have one cut out for a 9-inch tonearm.  This is a simple problem.  If you have a "wrong" tonearm mounting board, just measure it and have a new one made out ... 
New Gold Note PH 10
I see that it says 220pF in the specs, but look at page 9 of the owners manual, in the troubleshooting section. There at the top of the page you will see “330pF”. I agree this is in conflict with the specs. Even 220pF is high-ish before adding cap... 
New Gold Note PH 10
 I am getting interested in this phono stage, as a secondary unit because I need more phono inputs. I went to the gold note website to read more about it. There they say that the phono inputs present a fixed capacitance of 330 pF . That seems rath... 
Shelter 501 mkii then what now
Audio Technica ART7, if your phono stage has sufficient gain for about 0.2 or 0.25mV cartridge output. It’s technologically advanced beyond the ART9 (because it uses amorphous core coils and ART9 does not), yet costs a bit less. Can be had for ~$8... 
Dynavector XX2 mk2 vs Lyra DELOS which is better?
 Ignorance is bliss. Thankfully, this axiom operates for all of us. None of us can have the best of everything. Or at least none of us that I know about. So, you could close your eyes and make a pick. Having made a decision, you will not know what... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?

Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
testpilot, At least our blather is good for SOMEthing!I am feeling tempted to try out a 930st, which is kind of like going into the ocean up to your waist.  I will now lie down until this feeling of temptation abates. I have no shelf space, for on... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
I try not to judge either audiophiles or audiophile equipment based on what the former spends or what the latter costs, but I am amazed sometimes, on both counts.  Nevertheless, here we are talking only about the merits of a particular turntable, ... 
Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
Raul, I like those tonearm leads. What is the cost? 
Shelter 501 mkii then what now
What is the original cantilever? (Aluminum, boron, or Ruby/sapphire?). And what is the shape of the OEM stylus? Thx. 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Norman, What I found to be odd, when I looked on Hi-Fi Shark, was that the pricing fell into two groups: ~$5000US vs ~$30,000US (although I chose to quote the highest price, $40,000 in my recent post).  There were 3-4 tables available in each of t... 
Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
Chak, the Triplanar mounts in much the same way as a Reed.  I own one of each.  I do like the Reed, too.  But Raul and I agree that the base SL1200G tonearm is very nicely designed and manufactured.  I had a very close look at it in May when I was... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
 The resurrection of this thread prompted me to take a look at current values of an EMT 927. I was surprised to find that asking prices of examples that are for sale range from about $5000 US to about $40,000 US. Samples in the latter category of ... 
Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
Jeez.That’s amazing. A website that is run by a commercial entity that makes arm boards for the SL 1200 G series and sells SME and Jelco tonearms, advises that either of these arms is a good upgrade replacement for the stock tonearm. Isn’t it poss...
