| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Installed the 20CL. It's ever so slightly higher in back, but still delivering prodigious bass, VTF is at 1.0. Did the low riding heal itself over time? | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Timeltel, thanks for the tips about tracking weight and break-in! Will look for changes in staging. Unfortunately (??) I've got a DaVa cart on another arm on the same table that I'm focused on right now. Lew, I also have a 20CL that I like a lot,... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Yesterday I received the one Timeltel referenced that was listed on the 'bay. Running in now on the Viv Labs arm w/Nelson Hold, and sounding very precise. The cart body says LPM and the stylus (sharp-nosed) container says STR, so there's a later v... | |
| Teres Audio motor help! I’ve found Chris will get back to me eventually especially if I resend the message. | |
| Any good tube headphones and headphone amps for vinyl playback? You owe it to yourself to try a Stax setup. Not cheap--especially good tube options--and could be too revealing of surface noise. But the immersive clarity can't be beat. True, digital sounds great--better than on speakers--but vinyl is even more ... | |
| Anyone listen/own to the Yamaha GT-5000 Turntable? I’m not Raul, but I’ve had the 9" CB (carbon fiber armtube) for 6 months now. Mounted on a Teres 245 with SME 3012R, I find the latter really relaxed and easy--just gets out of the way with no strain. Tho similar, the Viv is more bold and rich, po... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As an update to earlier discussions of the Arcam 77 with the Jico SAS-1 stylus, a while back I tried the SAS-1 on the Shelter 201 and found a significant improvement (tho I don't recall the details of the difference now). Since then I've been conc... | |
| Removable headshells 101 In another thread, Halcro talks about pairing plastic bodied carts with metal headshells and metal bodied carts with wooden ones.Then there's this blog http://zero-distortion.org/micro_seiki_8000_mkii_koetsu_colibri_thoress_airtight/ that talks ... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? The Dyna preamp that you bought or are going to buy is what should make your decision for you. It has a current-gain mode for MC carts only. Reportedly works especially well with Dynavector carts. I tried one with the DL-103R and was not that impr... | |
| Replacement Stylus Shelter 201 Jico SAS-1 fits the 201 body. It's expensive, but far surpasses the original one. | |
| Need Help with Motor/Battery for Teres 340 I have a 255 and use transmission fluid in the bearing. I have been able to reach Chris in the last few years. It takes a few weeks sometimes, but if I'm persistent it pays off.My problem was the bearing had worn down so that the ball was riding a... | |
| Shelter 201 Cartridge: I just put it into my system Aug. 6 2016 Listening now to the 201 with a Jico SAS-1 stylus in it. Yes, the neo-SAS costs more than the cartridge itself, but the SAS sounds mighty fine. Haven't listened to the original 201 stylus in a long while, but the SAS definitely took it to another ... |
