| Nagaoka MP-500 cartridge Yes, it's the SAS-1. Just became available again, now with sapphire instead of boron cantilever. I bought it to fit the Arcam P-77, but it fits the 201 fine. Not sure about the Pearl.And, yes, I did mean the 150ANV. | |
| Nagaoka MP-500 cartridge I have the MP-500--a fine cart, tho I haven't listened to it lately. In terms of MMs, my current fave is a Shelter 201 w/SAS stylus. Signet TKLca is a top performer as well. I'd put the Nagaoka on a tier below that, along with the AT-50ANV. You've... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Does anyone know a line contact stylus replacement for the TK7E? | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges I've got a Signet TK7E on the way and saw posts on this thread talking about substituting the AT155LC stylus in it. What about the LPGear stylus the ATSAT0155LCU? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have noticed big changes as the p77/Jico breaks in, not in dynamics, but in tracking. On certain cuts, the break-up made it unlistenable. Now I've had it for nearly a month--50-60 hrs--it's minimal.What are people tracking it at? I started high,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just mounted an A&R P77 with Jico stylus today, and I'm really loving it. Compared to my memory of the AT150ANV, it is more articulate, has more air, more bass. But once it's run in, I'll do a more careful comparison.I've got a lot of other ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks jbethree for the tip on the A&R body, which I ordered. Now about the stylus: Jico has three , two of which are more expensive and have Japanese names (of their master craftsmen?) attached. Any ideas about which is better?http://stylus.e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I broke the cantilever of my AT105ANV after a month of use. Sent it off to ATUS hoping they'd replace it for free, as I'd heard they did for others. They wouldn't--I had to pay $250 for a new stylus assembly--but they did take this photo of the br... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Wavestream Kinetics, Continuum, Grand Prix, The Beat. | |
| Best cartridge for a Schroeder Model 2 On the pertinax w/brass headshell, I've used Miyabi 47, Soundsmith Shelter 901, Ortofon SPU Royal N and Kontra A. The Miyabi is sweet, of course, but they all sound good except for the SPU, which even with 6g headshell weight could probably use more. | |
| hanss turntables Please do. | |
| Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop" What about compression on It's Like This side D "Cycles"?The high notes sound not irritating, but I lose the 3-D quality, they sound machine-made rather than human. Anybody else hear this?I don't hear this on Pop Pop, but I've got the Alto version... | |
| Good compatible carts for RS Labs A-1 tonearm? I never had a problem mounting threaded carts on my RS-1A. I used a Te Kaitora and a Shelter 901. As long as you can put the screw up from the bottom of the cart, it will work. This rules out wooden Grados and Kontrapunkt/Jubilee, for example, wit... | |
| Jelco Tonearn SA750D No idea. I've got a modded RB250, but haven't used it in years. I'll post again once I've got the 750D running with RS Labs headshell. | |
| Jelco Tonearn SA750D I have one but haven't used it much. It is very nicely made. Will be trying it out when my RS Labs headshell arrives in a week or so.Koetsu is another brand Jelco OEM'd for. Also the Artisan arm available with the baby Galibier is built to spec by... |
