| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @chakster , If I remember well Raul preferred manual VTFadjustment by Lustre 801.The reason being that the counter-weight could get nearer to the pivot this way. So those whoown Lustre with defective magnetic VTF adjustment need notworry. I hope y... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? Hi vinny 55, Lustre is produced by Koshin (Akos?) before1980. Also called ''magnetic drive'' because VTF and antiskate could be adjusted by magnets, without any mechanicalcontact. SME started with steel versions of both; SME 309 and3012 . Later on... | |

| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? Hi vinny55, I would call ''vintage'' those from the ''golden age''of analog. Say from the 80is. BTW the ''S'' by FR-64/66 kindsmeans steel not silver. However both, copper and silver versionswere available. I should also add Lustre 801 and dgarret... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @amg56, Is ''Stogi Reference'' made by Kuzma? Can this tonearm be counted as ''vintage''? | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? The question is confusing. The question should be:top 5 vintage tonearms bellow 2500 which will beat anything above 2,5 K . My answer Sumiko 800 (the arm) , FR-64S , Micro 505will beat some of the (new) tonearms above 2.5K.NB 5 is numerical quanto... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 The most turntables are bellow $5000. So the question ''which oneof those'' is pretty curious. Who among the members has any ideaabout the ''most turntables'' bellow $5000? | |
| jan Allaerts cartridges mc1b Dear chakster, Dover explained the issue of ''damping'' in moretechnical and convincing way than Raul. The spring in the FR-64which function as VTF adjuster as well as dynamic balance is loadedwith grease providing this way also damping. Dertonarm... | |

| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 Dear Lew, This is the second time that you refer to your wife asthe possible solution for my ''problem'' to get your Kenwood L07D.My impression is then that you would sooner part from your wifethen from your Kenwood.

| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 Dear chakster, ''you can buy it under $5000''. This remind meabout Marie Antoinette. When informed that people protest because they have no bread to eat she asked the question: ''why then theydon't eat cookies?'' Why should anyone buy ''your PD-44... | |
| Tonearm rewiring @bimasta, We all make ''inductive generalisations'' based onour (limited) experience. Those are not logically valid statements.My ''generalisation'' about Clearaudio clips are made in thisway. Alas those are pretty expensive So I am very curious ... | |
| Tonearm rewiring The most cartridge clips are worthless. This is in particular veryannoying by not removable headshells. The best clips are madeby Clearaudio. By possible rewire one need to asses the stateof original wire. if those are not corroded (copper) then n... | |
| what happened to the post on the sat tonearm? I don't believe that morality and prices mix well. Well that at leastsome ethics is involved in our mutual opinions exchange. We shouldnot insult each other. But teasing each other is different matter (grin). |
