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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

#2.  I bought it in Tokyo.  There is no advantage to buying in Tokyo; price was about the same as eBay. 2juki has a good reputation; I would not hesitate to buy from him.#1. I don't believe that the audibility of "surface noise" is merely a functi...

Raul, What the heck are you talking about when you say "UNIDIN"?  Actually, after posting, I recalled that I used the Feickert protractor for alignment after setting the P2S at 231.5mm.  Set to the Baerwald scale on the Feickert.  Anyway, you hate...

I'm sorry.  Did you read my post?  I've been using the ART7.

Nandric, I don't mind your allusions to what might or might not be my own beliefs and practices, but where did I ever say that I am "trusting the designers by assumption that they know what they are doing"?  I really don't think I ever expressed t... 
Audio-Technica ART 7
I own an ART7 that I bought last year while visiting our son in Tokyo. (The cost in Tokyo is really no different from typical mail order prices in the USA, by the way.)  I only recently installed it in a Dynavector DV505 on a modified Lenco, feedi... 
Why so many linn lp12s for sale
For my edification, what IS the cost of a new fully equipped LP12? 
Why so many linn lp12s for sale
The question was asked in 2014.  Before any of us knew there would be a new and completely revised version of the SL1200.  For a person who purchased the LP12 in the first place, even an old original SL1200 (or any DD turntable) is a huge departur...
