| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi I own a Koetsu Urushi and like it very much, but I always ranked it slightly below my favorite LOMC, which has lately been the ZYX Universe (the original version). Recently, I mounted the Urushi in an 18g Ortofon LH9000 headshell and connected th... | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations bdp, Back in the 70s, my close audiophile friend and I both purchased Decca London cartridges, which we liked very much. But somewhere or other we read that the performance could be enhanced by fiddling with an adjustable platform that was access... | |
| is ok to use wifes new make up brush to clean styius needle I'm with Teo. However, Last also make similar stiff brushes, sold with their stylus cleaners and preservatives, that probably work just as well as the one cited by Teo.Presumably, your wife will want her brush returned, so she can use it for make... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop Just relax and enjoy it, is my advice. I do believe that once these initial and endogenous issues have been dealt with by someone like JP, probably all will be well. But I have back-up tt's, just in case. | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop Ummm.... Best-groove, what are you trying to prove? No one would contest the fact that the TT101 is temperamental. Least of all, me. So, I don't get it. Unless you're just trying to be funny, which is fine.It's also a very fine sounding turntabl... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop I think we all agree that the TT101 is fussy. That’s one way in which this hobby requires a relaxed approach. For my part, I can only thank JP for the excellent work he did on my unit.Once JP educated me on the genesis of the issue with my TT101, ... | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations In the "old days", it was widely known that using a mono cartridge on a stereo LP was verboten or at best ill-advised. Some vintage early stereo LP album covers even have that warning printed on the back, in fine print at the bottom right of the ... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop It’s hardly a main stream item anyway, these days or even when it was current.on the other hand, the TT101 and its ilk are now pushing 40 years old. | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop I think JP would agree that the most likely story is that the crack was there since it left the factory or that the PCB swells and contracts with changes in humidity, thus rendering it susceptible to cracking at areas were expansion and contractio... | |
| Headshell Connector Question Wow! I never would have guessed that parts such as this could be purchased separately. I'd have suggested just buying a whole headshell and cannibalizing it. Thanks to all for excellent responses, at least in my opinion. I like the ones from Ita... | |

| No right channel in new cartridge "Check the resistance on the right channel take your ohm meter and touch the positive probe to the positive pin on the cartridge and the negative probe and touch the negative pin on the right channel." As has been pointed out to the OP, this is n... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop My own TT101 turned out to have a tiny crack in one of the PCBs which was finally diagnosed only after what had been an intermittent problem became a constant problem, enabling JP Jones of Fidelis Analog to sniff it out and repair it. But the def... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon tochsii, After what you've just been through with a defective cartridge, it is hard to believe you would even remotely consider buying a "Benz from China". Or any cartridge of any kind ever, from China. Unless you live there.Benz is also the las... | |
| No right channel in new cartridge Audio Technica, Dynavector, Ortofon. Those are all excellent old-line brands with high reliability and known for their no-nonsense presentation of music. I own at least one of each of the above, so I am speaking from personal listening experienc... |
