| Jelco 850 total weight I have both arms and while I haven't weighed them, there's not that much in it from what I can tell handling them. The 850 improvement in SQ is worth replacing your springs if there was a weight issue. | |
| Turntable problem You're gonna have to bring it back to a Pioneer service center. | |
| Turntable problem You'll have to include the make and model. Probably something overheating on a circuit board from being old or the motor bearing is worn. | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter That's nothing. I once played the platter mat thinking it was a David Byrne album. | |
| Tone Arm board material My slate plinth builder supplied mine with wenge armboards saying it was the best he'd heard. | |
| Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :) Japanese single malt tastes digital while the real deal tastes like tubes and analog. | |

| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge While Lenco L75s are fine tables which make great music, they can lack the ability to render the finest details of recordings.

| Cartridge issues need suggestions Make sure that you didn’t inadvertently fix or affect the issue when you were swapping in the test cartridge. | |
| Cartridge Loading into Step-Up Transformer No need for a resistor. The SUT input impedance should be 10 times the internal resistance of the MC coils. You'll need to calculate the SUT turns ratio for the given MC output level.The SUT plugs into the standard 47k MM input of the phono amp. | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular @metman @salectric I have two sets of EICO HF35s one of which is a Stu Remmington rebuild with chokes, fixed bias and revised input circuitry. I believe they’re based on the venerable Mullard 5-20 push-pull circuit. I use a Psvane 6SN7 Globe with ... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e @halcro I haven't any recollection of hearing the FR64/6. However, my only dog in the fight is the Jelco 850 which the OP is asking about. I quoted and linked to a review on the 64 which said it was a little rolled off in order to assist the OP. T... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! @whostolethebatmobile It sounds better at night because your hearing/brain is more sensitive at night. It is physiological and evolutionary. You've done the test. |
