| I need a good arm to mate with a modified Lenco L75 bdp24, The position of the LT tonearm might only matter if you are using a Lenco still with its original plinth where the chassis is supported on flexible supports. Most guys who upgrade are using massive unsprung plinths; the tonearm could be mo... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Chakster, It seems other guys here, who perhaps live in different countries, are saying they receive unopened factory containers when they order from 2juki, suggesting there was no possibility that 2juki tampered with serial numbers, let alone add... | |
| Fidelity Research FR14 as good Sonically as FR64 or Jelco750? We've been down this road before. There is no such thing in audio as "the best", in any category. It's safe to say that the FR14 is not the best at the price limit of less than $1500; you've mentioned that you can buy one for $550, which is roug... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Guys, Just to be clear, I have no axe to grind with 2juki. I tend to agree with Raul and Peter (PBN). I bought my Technics tonearm from him, and it was exactly as described, but that is a used item not subject to any factory warranty. As others... | |
| Fidelity Research FR14 as good Sonically as FR64 or Jelco750? Vinny, I'm afraid that the FR14 is rather a rare bird and was never accorded the attention given to the FR64 or FR66, in S or FX versions. Therefore, you are probably not going to elicit a lot of opinions from persons who actually have owned and ... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Chakster, You educated me by stating that 2juki changes or obliterates the serial number. If true, that alone would void any warranty of any kind. I certainly would not argue with that logic. A case of caveat emptor.So what about William Thakker... | |
| I need a good arm to mate with a modified Lenco L75 If you are going to go "all the way" or even "most of the way" with your modified Lenco, then it will merit the best tonearm you can afford and fit to your plinth. Beyond that, I don't believe there are any limitations to be based solely on the fa... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Has anyone had warranty issues with 2juki? My guess is that if you bought from him, had a problem within the warranty period, and then sent it back to AT/Japan (perhaps through 2juki), the warranty would be honored by AT/Japan. Whereas, the same ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR14 as good Sonically as FR64 or Jelco750? Probably not. | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 So 2juki is not an authorized AT dealer, or so I gather. Where then would he source his product? Does he obliterate serial numbers? | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 I think Dave has it right; the ART7 is actually improved over the ANV50, even though the latter cartridge cost or costs more (depending upon whether either or both are still available). The introduction of the ANV50 preceded that of the ART7. Ma... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 ART7 is about half the price and about as good, from what I've read about the ANV50 but others may know more about it. | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Problem with buying the ART7 (not the ART9) in the US or elsewhere outside of Japan, if you don’t want to buy from one of the eBay sellers like 2juki, is where do you find it for sale? I just checked the LP Gear website; if you do a search for "AR... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Thanks, Noromance. I don't think the price is out of line in today's market where many TT prices do seem out of line, especially when you consider that the full up price includes tonearm, cartridge, and phono stage. I just don't like spring susp... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Yes, and at 231.5 using the Feickert, I was easily able to achieve Baerwald. So in this case, I trusted Dertonearm (who advised me to use 231.5 instead of the FR recommended 230mm P2S) and not FR.On that other issue, it was actually due to my own... |
