| Koetsu cartridges - what arms work? idl57, It's not surprising that the Koetsu tonearm did not float your boat. Upon close inspection of photos, it appears to be a Jelco tonearm in Koetsu guise, which of course raises its cost by a factor of 2 or 3 compared to a Jelco 750. Not that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? By the way, Raul. I am more or less familiar with your analog equipment. Can you describe your digital reproduction system? Thanks. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, With reference only to the few times in your recent posts when you referred to me and my last post, I did mention several times therein that I have several hours listening to the system of my neighbor, who is less than a quarter of a mile f... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 Inna, As I understand the OP, his wife has blessed the purchase of the AF3. The OP himself is struggling between a "reasonable" choice of a very expensive turntable or a less reasonable choice of a very, very expensive turntable (the AF3), precis... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster, You gotta be more optimistic than that. Otherwise, why get out of bed? Anyway, you've changed your argument from wear to tear. Privately, I was thinking that 2000 hours is a long time for an MC stylus to last, even under the best cond... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 I don't understand your wife's logic. But then again, I don't understand my own wife, either. Buy what you like and then buy her some flowers or some nice jewelry. All will be forgiven. I can see how a wife might legitimately object to the pur... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster, 2000 hours is a long time. Even if you do pay $2500 for a re-tip after 2000 hours, think of it as about a dollar per hour of enjoyment. That's cheap fun, compared to theater, movies, live music performances. My ZYX UNI has about 40 hou... | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Everybody bringing up his own anecdotal singular experience to prove a point one way or the other. Like Bogie said to Bergman in Casablanca, it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? First of all, if you bother to educate yourself on routine care of an LP, and if you acquire decent equipment with which to play them, your experience with ticks and pops would never be repeated. What you experienced was the result of abuse. Eith... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've never made much of an effort to maximize my digital experience. So, I am open-minded as to its ultimate potential, using my own amplifiers and my speakers as transducers. (Let us not forget that in the end, we are listening to speakers in re... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, That is very kind of you. I am also interested to learn that you apparently rank the four named cartridges above the MC2000 and the Sony, especially since you once seemed to be a great fan of the Sony. I have a longstanding admiration f... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Nandric, Thank you for correcting me. Perhaps the Serbian himself was indulging in wishful thinking, on two counts: the price of the 10R and my willingness to part with the L07D. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, If I am understanding your post correctly, you are saying that you have not heard the MC2000. Is that the case? Or do you mean that you never heard one with its original cantilever/stylus? | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Pani, Will you like the 10R better if the price is more than $10K? Some will. I find it pointless to argue about what the price will or won't be. Whatever it will be is what it will be. Also, haven't you changed your tune just a little bit? W... | |
| "Straight" talk Stringreen, I am basically agreeing with you about the value of correcting azimuth. On the subject of the Foz and its wonderfulness, I am not qualified, because I do not own one, and I do not fully understand how it works. I do know however, that... |
