| What do/did you do for a living? I’ve worked steady since I was 12. I used to sell tickets to movies that I rented for free from the public library. I would play the movies in my garage and sell popcorn candy and drinks to all of the neighborhood kids. From there I moved to mowi... | |
| Koetsu Blue Lace Onyx vs. Coralstone I'll add my $0.02 to this thread. I've had a Koetsu Urshi Sky Blue for a few years now. I have been using it with an Ikeda IT 407 tonearm and an updated (electronically) SP-10 MK II in a Vinylista plinth. Nice sound but somewhat dull. Handily beat... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? Yes I had it mated with a Vinylista plinth and an updated SP-10 MKII turntable. Great combination. The Ikeda is a work of art. For sale on US AudioMart. | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? I ended up getting a Phantom III for the SME model 20/3. This seems to be a good physical and esthetic match. It should be a reasonable match to the Koetsu Urshi Blue as well. For now I will pause on the SME 30/2 tonearm changes. I have time to co... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? I know that it has been stated the the Koetsu will not be a good match to the Kuzma due to compliance. Looking at a cartridge calculator, the Kuzma is 18g effective mass. The Koetsu mass is 9g with a compliance of 5. The calculated resonance is 14... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? Hi Syntax. Outside of the Phantom what do you recommend in a nine arm? Regards Greg | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? Thanks for the additional suggestions and ideas. I looked at the 4 point 9 but my concern with it is the exit of the tonearm cable. It looks like it might hit the rear SME tower. Oddly enough the larger 4Point is off set away from the tower and th... | |
| SME 20/3 --- tonearm recommendations!? I believe what I’m going to end up doing is putting my graham engineering Phantom II tonearm on the SME model 20/3. I’ll put the Kuzma 4point on the SME model 30/2. I believe the 30/2 can bear the weight of the Kuzma better than the 20/3. Plus I’v... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Looks like this thread has gone silent but I'll bring up one point that has not been raised. I use a Koetsu cartridge where the stylus tip is BURIED under the cartridge body. For this reason - I didn't order the Mint. The only way I can align the ... |
