Or Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, $2.5k. Still, coherence, impact and weight of a good MM and MI is something that is not easy fo... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Dear @pani : First Ortofon is not the only alternative for you. van den Hul Colibri is an exceptional performer and Shelter 9000 or its Accord are really good.I like Ortofon a lot and I fall in love with when owned the MC 2000, from there I owned ... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Dear @analogluvr : """ I would think you can get it retipped with a different style of tip no problem.

| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Dear @pani : Ask you somenthing like this: would I send my " Ferrari " to fix it at Ford or GM?In the case of top LOMC cartridges it's just a mistake to send the cartridge to and after market re-tippers.When we send the cartridge to the original m... | |

| what is the problem with too much tracking force? Dear @kevp1958: You are using an after market stylus replacement that not necessary means is similar to the original that runs at 1.5grs.

| Dr. Feickert Protractor Dear @slaw /friends: The Stevenson alignment is " valid as said lewm but non-practical and really useless.This alignment only gives lower distortion levels in the last 6mm. of recorded LP side and against Löfgren A alignment that happens in the la... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor Dear @jperry : About the MINTLP you posted:""" A great tool if you only have or will have one tonearm. """I think it's a great tool even if you own 2-3 tonearms. There is nothing better than a TT/tonearm DEDICATED protractor that was made in spe... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor Dear @slaw : There are several LP’s that comes with dificult grooves to track NOT ONLY at the very inner grooves ( last 5-6mm ) where we can listenig using Löfgren A or B vs Stevenson.Example: the Reference Recording Symphonic Dances comes with th... |
