| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... I will say that Jeff at Audiomods is one of the best folks out there in this hobby. What you get is worth every dollar, pound, or euro you give him. Actually Jeff just agreed to build me a 10.5 inch arm for my MC2000 cartridge that will be in the ... | |
| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... I owned a IIXE when they were new, and was quite pleased with it. The tables are still quite good and I would take them over a mid tier Project, and Fluance, and lower end Rega. The Profile II was a decent arm, but you could do better with on... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Part of this process was deciding how to consolidate my analog stuff. I was looking at a way of improving upon my second table, and maybe just maybe buying a great table and running just one arm on it, perhaps one that would have displaced the SO... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Well I have finally gotten some information back. Looks like I can fit the Origin Live Agile to the table with a custom made arm board to meet the weight requirements of the suspension. So the plan is to fit it to the SOTA and I will install the T... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Still have not made a decision yet, but one of the candidates is the Origin Live Enterprise. The next arm up is way too heavy and out of the limits of the suspension. | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable @mijostyn I have an ebony CB-1L on the Scheu with the Verismo and its a wonderful combination. I love the performance of the arm, but its just such a pain in the butt to set up. Those settings remind me of a 1960’s 0r 70’s era of arm. But I cannot... | |
| Experiences With The Ikeda Arms? Going to strike this one from the list of candidates. As I look at the offerings on the market, I am convinced that all of them need to be sent out for restoration. The restoration costs and the cost of a B 60 really do not seem to make this a pru... | |
| Experiences With The Ikeda Arms? @rauliruegas It appears you have difficulty being civil, it would be just best if you avoided my threads then. Please don't play the "what did I do" charade, I have seen this scenario play out many times over the years. Quite simply you are rude a... | |
| Experiences With The Ikeda Arms? @rauliruegas I have sold my SME V, to be honest I always found it grey sounding to ally. I also sold my Dynavector DV505. The Triplanar is moved on, I did not find it superior to the Dynavector but it’s more expensive. I am now looking for an ... | |
| Looking For Technicans That Would Rewire A SME V @groovey traded a couple of emails with Josh. Appears to be a good egg and I will speak with him in the phone on Friday. I think this will be my choice, just need to locate the tonearm wire now. The US based website does not show the silver Z... | |
| Looking For Technicans That Would Rewire A SME V @groovey I am in the US. I will reach out to them, thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Considering Revising My Tonearms. Input On This Option Considered @elliottbnewcombjr That is one aspect of the Graham, it has detachable arm wands. They do come up on the used market from time to time, a bit spendy, but you can find them. Having a second one would be convenient, and probably makes cartridge inst... | |
| Considering Revising My Tonearms. Input On This Option Considered @lewm Unfortunately the Schroder is an 11 inch arm and the SOTA can only accept 9 to 10 inch arms. | |
| Wonder Why No Japanese Retippers? @cey Then who will service Koetsu for Japanese owners? Will it be another manufacturer like Excel? There is precedent for this in Europe, as Goldring offers retipping services for other cartridges, as does Van Den Hul. Here is a list of world wi... | |
| Wonder Why No Japanese Retippers? @lewm I would think that would be the case. There I have been into a few Japanese audio stores during my trips, and they do have a passionate group of hobbyists. I am curious, the cartridge companies that do directly export to the US and Europe, a... |
