who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
Dear chakster, ''I believe the body is the same as the Airy and SURELY on the factory they could replace the body''.Can you describe how they  COULD do that?   
who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
The sequence should be first informing about retip or refurbishingand then buy a cart. Not the other way round. 
LP ? Undersized spindle hole.
When I ordered my first Mint Tractor by Yip i was surprised withhis request to provide him with exact dimension  of the spindle onmy turntable. I thought that they all were the same. This is not thecase. But I also noticed  irregular deviation by ... 
who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ?
I ever started a thread about ''irreparable cartridges''. However nobody was interested. Chakster  ''sealed body'' is the reason whysuch carts are not reparable. My first was Sony XL 88Dwhich not only was ''sealed plastic body'' but the body was a... 
GLANZ MFG 610LX
Dear chakster, Your basic premise is obviously that boron is''better material'' for the cantilevers than ''aluminum'''. What ifyour premisse is not true? The most aluminum cantilevers areactually ''alloy''; usually with magnesium. Then the advanta... 
GLANZ MFG 610LX
In the good old times when we discussed only 3 Glanz ''versions''which I was also able to remember I was one of the ''experts''regarding this ''brand''. Alas the nomenclature moved in theAT direction so while I still own MF 31l and MF 71 l I have ... 
Dynamics varying with track position.
Anti-skate related distortion (should) start in the right channel.Increasing the anti-skate will increase the tracking ability. HoweverVan den Hul warned against ''too much'' anti-skate by tryingto get + 60 microns (pure). Aka: better no skate at ... 
Any Members Tried the Audio Interface CST-80 SUT?
@ateal , My first SUT was   FRT4. Because this one iscopper version I wanted to check the output cable. I wassurprised about the amount of corrosion. So the obvious solutionis to solder an new cable. I moved then to Denon-AU-S1 which isbetter made... 
Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results
I use Ikeda 9C3 with my FR-64 S (silver wire) as well FR-7fz.  Decca is  like Ikeda in the sense of the ''cantileverless'' kind. But in  MC  ''execution''. For my Arche I at last deed find the right wire:Clearaudio with excelent clips and very thi... 
Fidelity Research FR14 as good Sonically as FR64 or Jelco750?
I owned the FR-24 and 54 but my advice would be the JVC 7045.Both my ''brothers'' Don and chakster own this one and, if I remember well, Lew. This is the best price-quality relationship I know of.  
Fidelity Research FR-64x
Sorry chakster, even the silver colored one stays the ''poorman FR-64 S''. 
Fidelity Research FR-64x
Dear chakster, I am sure you will be glad to know to own ''biggerarm'' than you thought. Your FR-64 is an 10'' and not 9 '' tonearm.228 mm is the distance for the later (aka 227) one inch more isfor the 10''. My tractor is made by Yip specific for... 
Fidelity Research FR-64x
Dear chakster, You and Feickert are wrong.  
Fidelity Research FR-64x
@mulveling , By the mentioned (German) Magazine the firstrecommendation was to change Stevenson in Baerwald geometry.I have no idea why the most Japanese tonearms followed Stevenson. To get Baerwald the spindle-pivot distance need to beincreased t... 
Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k?
@tkr, The difference between induction and deduction is thatthe first mentioned one generalize from limited number ofexperience to some ''general rule''. By deduction one combinedifferent sentences and deduce from them his conclusion. Noexperiment...
