If this pandemic doesn't finally kill my cartridge, nothing will
It may kill you but save your cart for your succesor's.An illustration of wishful thinking is tooblue's hope thathis Hana ML is as good as Miyabi standard. Even more curious is chakster's  question.  
Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA?
I hope I am not using my age to often as excuse? But becauseof my age I forget to mention chakster suggestion to squeeze thisdamn screw with a pair of tongs. The material of which this screwis made is not steel but some softer material. So one can... 
Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA?
My dear ''other Slavic brother'' (from Canada). Probably because of my age and income I overlooked the obvious. 20 carts cost, say ,+$ 20K. Adjusting the VTA for each LP is for free. Big differenceI woud think.  
Correct alignment for Fidelity Research 64fx/SPU?
The problem by integrated headshells is that one can't move thestylus to ''optimal position'' as is the case by ''ordinary headshells''.Even the FR -7 kinds have different cantilever length which implydifferent stylus to pivot distance . So the on... 
High vs low internal impedance cartridges....Is there a sonic signature for each type?
The problem is about ''moving mass'' on one side and ''core'versus ''coreless'' coils on the other. Reduction of moving mass is ''obvious'' by reduction of (wire) windings on the coil former. The lower the number the lower impedance but also the o... 
What was wrong with the P-mount ?
Rigidity problem?  
SUT vs. Phono preamp
''additional amplification stage...will add some noise" (mikelavigne).I use a SUT for carts with less than 0,2 mV output. However Iwill start  not with ''theory'' but with practice. I own two phono-pres both with 4 amplification stages. Basis Excl... 
When you’re not here who will inherit your system?
Justgotohms, your ''audio executor'' (alias audio consultant) is not new idea. I have already two candidates . Both are my ''brothers''in this hobby. Don (griffiths) and chakster. Their job will be toinform my sons about the (second hand) value of...

Dear Lew, I am of course glad to hear that you still enjoy ''my''(former) MC 2000. But what is an ''current driven gain booster''?My own MC 2000 is the only cart which I use with AU-S1 DenonSUT. My Basis Exclusive and Klyne 7PX3,5 can drive all ot... 
GRGAUDIO
The receiver is not party by transport contract so has, as thirdparty, no rights. But the seller has and is the only one who canclaim rights by the transporter. I always ask ''track& trace''document and assume that the post with track&trac... 
When you’re not here who will inherit your system?
Thanks Lew, My sons are not interested in analog well in cash.So I started with selling some of my carts. This however is  exercise in frustration. Each potential buyer seems to think to have righton (huge) discount. So I will also make an list li... 
Obsidian plinth dust cover adjustment
Dear best-groove, I will try again. Properties of objects don'tdepend from our will or, which the same, our psychology.All relations between involved analog parts are physical. So they can be explained by physical science. The fact (?)that you are...

I solved my problem as described and have no interest infurther discussion about the issue. Certainly not in an dispute . 
Obsidian plinth dust cover adjustment
best-groove, If one want to improve whatever component withan new part one is assumed not to own already this part. Thereason is simple; this part can't then be ''new''. I had also no ideaabout those AT ''towers'' and I certainly would not buy the...

Dear best-groove, I see you are happy with the ordinary AT feet.But than why are you complaining that those AT 616 are ''nowhereto be found''?
