| 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... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 #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... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x 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... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 I'm sorry. Did you read my post? I've been using the ART7. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x 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... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? Sorry. I am not directly familiar with the Joule OPS-1, but I have great respect for the designer. And it has a good rep. You might easily check on the value by searching for others that are for sale on the internet. That's what I would do bef... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? My favorite LOMC is the ZYX UNIverse in any of its many versions. I think you can buy a low mileage UNIverse II for around $2K to $3K. But I also like many vintage MM and MI cartridges that cost quite a bit less. I am currently running an Audio... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Chakster, You have to acquire something uses tubes for gain. Then you have to say here how much better it sounds than your SS stuff, just to piss off Raul. Seriously, Nelson Pass is one of the greats in modern audio design; I have long had curiosi... |
