| Thinking about switching cartridges. I own a Dynavector 17D3. I think that D series all have one-piece diamond cantilever/styli. So if and when the stylus wears out, you would have to replace both if you want to preserve originality. Am I correct in this belief? (Raul?) If so, do... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm, Rubber Washer at Rear Counterweight Tube: Sag/Repair/Fitting Damage. Now that Richard dredged up this old thread on the Victor 7 series tonearms, I am stimulated to finally fix my 7045. But also let me say that these are very well conceived tonearms that are very modern in design approach in most ways. They deser... | |
| Cartridge Change Overhang Difference-Fixed Headshell The YIP is designed for the tonearm, not the cartridge, so far as I know, which is not much because I have never ordered one. In any case, just adjust for the 0.5mm, if you think you can. I personally don’t think most of us can mount a cartridge w... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Can you name the specific brand and model, because I own several CF headshells, made by Yamamoto or Oyaide, and they all weigh around 8-10g. Vintage headshells usually made of thin, perforated aluminum would weigh less. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos I’m running my MC2000 on my Reed 2A with the red cedar arm wand. Probably effective mass in the 10-12 Gm range. No problem.

| Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace? The owners manual is available on line. It states you got an Allen head wrench with the TT expressly for adjusting the cue. Read the manual. | |
| Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace? Look carefully on the column that houses the piston that moves vertically to push up on the arm wand. Be sure to inspect it from all aspects. The set screw(s) will be very tiny, usually. It’s hard to believe the cuing is not adjustable. Moreover ... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Neon, I lost the thread somewhere. Why does mounting the TP on the Scheu prevent you from auditioning the MC2000? Thanks. | |
| Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace? Set screw is what I was describing but yeah. Can be 2 set screws, one for height and one for angle or fit viscosity | |
| Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace? Most every cuing device I’ve ever seen is height adjustable. Look for set screws on yours usually they’re tiny and have an Allen head. Sounds like yours may have come loose. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Most of us regulars would agree with your philosophy. There is not a single element in either of my two systems that has not been modified (hopefully, upgraded) by me, and I totally agree with the vital importance of structural elements. I consi... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Dear Pindac, do you really feel like you or anyone else is “hounded” on this forum? | |
| Humminguru record cleaner Moonwatcher, to your post of 2/13, please re-read my post about “ultrasonic “ STYLUS cleaners. They are not ultrasonic. They operate at around 500 Hz. Of course, US cleaners for LPs are ultrasonic. That’s all I was saying. | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. "sub 10K are just entry level audiophile TT" As an experienced audiophile, it is my opinion that this statement is potentially misleading to anyone who is new to the hobby. (I sifted through many less neutral, more pejorative adjectives before s... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Please translate the German. Is it attributable to some particular source? Also if you have data, as you imply, that would be refreshing. |
