| 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... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If you haven't seen it, check out this week's TNT-Audio for Werner Ogier's measurements of resitive and capacitive loading of MM's. | |
| RS-3 owners: Seeking anti-skate help I have the RS Labs arm, and it has no provision for anti-skating. Just another data point. | |
| Soundsmith retips Be aware that if the stylus is merely worn out, rather than the cantilever snapped, Peter replaces only the stylus itself. He feels that removing the cantilever might compromise the suspension. I thought about snipping off the cantilever of my 901... | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire Sounds like the Acrotec would be just as hard to work with as the A-M stuff, given that it's 46 ga vs. 41 ga. At least it's copper, which melts at around 200 F. higher. | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire Hi Tessera--Did you end up doing this rewire? What wire did you use? | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire I just rewired mine yesterday with Discovery cable. I left the headshell leads as is, but I had broken the existing wire at the pivot, so needed a rewire. I was afraid this might foul the pivot, but have had no issues yet. And it's sounding pretty... | |
| Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart. Interesting that JerryS just posted a review saying this wasn't all that great a combo.10audio review | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik So I tried the turntableneedles.com stylus for the LTD 750 (it's translucent blue, you may recall). I had some trouble--it sounding very garbled, but I kept removing and reseating it and it finally sounded better.It doesn't sound nearly as refined... |
