Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C
Just to clarify:A LOMC set at 47K ohms is technically and electronically NOT "unloaded". Granted it might not do much with it, but it’s still loaded at 47,000 ohms.Rule of thumb, (as stated above) 10X the internal R is the best place to start. Pro... 
Yanni or Laurel?
How much longer before someone makes a horror movie from all of this? LOL...we had Predator versus Alien, now we could have Yanni versus Laurel.  Rob Zombie could direct. 
Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor?
@pbnaudio ...Peter, I agree completely with you, that's why I've kept both.  I like the newer version a little better, as long as I can use it with that specific tonearm that has a clear cut pivot point.I REALLY want to setup one of the new Jelco ... 
Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor?
I bet I have at least a dozen different protractors in my arsenal of turntable setup tools.  Probably more.The Feickert is by far the best.  I have both an original and the newer version.  These work on any table and arm.  Expensive yes, but I've ... 
Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor?
Just to let you know the Technics alignment is very close to Stevenson, but not exactly Stevenson. Well, at least on the old decks, but i think geometry of the new tonearm is the same as the old one.   +1   It's close, but you should really use...

Pro-Ject buys Musical Fidelity
Don't know.  I've meet Tony several times.  He always seemed really into his company and job, (and high-end audio).Maybe he decided it was time. 
Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly
I had a UA-7045 that had bad bearings out of the box. Sent to back to Japan to be repaired, came back even worse.The second model had wiring that kept getting caught at the pillar junction and would keep the arm from traveling properly. Gave up af... 
Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly
@chakster I owned a couple of JVC Victor arms back in the day, (late 70’s-early 80’s). Biggest pile of junk I’ve ever owned.I doubt that I would ever travel down that road again...
