Hi Lewm, I have a TT-101 that is working well, but I wouldn't mind picking up the IC from you in case it falls victim to a failure.

Email on the way. Thanks Chris! Very kind:)

Ah! Thank you Banquo. That would be helpful.

I picked up a TT-101 on eBay a couple of weeks ago. I was very happy to receive it in excellent condition! Going through the process now of figuring out how to build an arm pod etc. Probably going to take a while before it starts spinning records ... 
Tracking force and Unipivot tonearms
On many arms tracking force will change with changes in vta. If your scale is not measuring at EXACTLY the same height as a record then you may not be getting an accurate reading of tracking force anyways. Changes of a few tenths of a gram can eas... 
How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?
Over 1000 collected over the past 10-11 years. Had a smaller collection until the late 80's when it was lost in a fire. But that's another story. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Stltrains...are you saying then that the picture Bluz Bros has on their website of the Empire 4000D3 replacement stylus is not what you got then? Your post, if I read it correctly, makes it sound like you got the stylus assembly that Raul shows in...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Axel most definitely takes repairs from the US. He speaks English well enough to be of no concern. He was 100% honest and affordable in my experience with him. He fixed a cartridge no one else wanted/was willing to, EPC100mk4. Highly recommended! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Griffithds,Yes. It is the same cartridge. The email address he used was the same as is found on his website. Best of luck! Matt 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Just wanted to report that Axel fixed my Technics 100mk4 and I had the chance to give it a spin this past weekend. Sounds great and the price was entirely reasonable. Thank you Desmond for the referral! I had all but given up hope. Axel gets anoth... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
I'll add Tune-yards "Whokill" to recent faves. The Givers new album "In Light" was a nice surprise as well. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul's Essential has a switch inside that that can turn the Neumann correction on or off. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Dgarretson - re Thurston Moore's new album - how is disc one for you? My copy is a fairly poor pressing. Disc two is near perfect though. Tried to return it, but the second copy had the same issue with disc one. Beck's influence is all over the al...
