| The Great Cartridge Shootout @orpheus10 Yes, that is what I have, 1.5g. I can watch the stylus track warps, it is only the larger ones that hits the back of the cartridge body. If it doesn't strike the body, the cartridge will track the warp without a problem. Literally... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @audioguy Actually, I am thinking of adding a Hana cartridge and a transcription arm to the turntable. If I did pick up another cartridge and arm, it would be a Hana. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @jperry Thanks for the tip. That place is in San Francisco, not far from my office. I could bring the warped ones over and have them flattened, and for $10 a pop, that is a LOT less than buying a LP flattener. That's a good suggestion, thank-... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @daveyf @lewm Actually, the cartridge body does have an impact when the stylus is set so deep in the body and the body of the cartridge is just above the surface of the record. Yes, the cartridge was aligned properly, I may have made humor ou... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @fstein - why would ever I want a new turntable? | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout @daveyf1 - Yes, if you go here, https://www.musicdirect.com/phono-cartridges/Grado-Statement-Sonata-3-MI-Phono-Cartridge, and look at the Grado Sonata cartridge body, you can see the back side of the body is cut square at the bottom behind the st... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout I have thought about a record flattening device. However, I don't have enough albums with warps to justify $1000+. Besides the VM160 and the Ortofon 2M Blue tracks the few that have a warp without a hitch. If I could rent one, that would be a ... | |
| How to choose step up transformers? I agree with the Audio Technica VM760 - that is one fantastic cartridge! | |
| Best Interconnect with Step Up Transformer Echo again, Blue Jean cables. They work amazingly well. | |
| Questions that Never Die Now this is one awesome post! :-) Thanks for the chuckles! | |
| Review of a tweaked Pangea Premier SE Octet Power Distribution Strip[ Nice. BTW, you know your old when you blow a tweeter fuse and just don't get around to replace it.....:-) | |

| Suggest an entry - midrange Preamp (tube as well as SS) for a McIntosh power amp PS: Finding one might be an issue, though. | |
| Suggest an entry - midrange Preamp (tube as well as SS) for a McIntosh power amp Actually, a Dynaco PAS preamp, original equipment or with mods. They are cheap and amazingly good. I mean, really amazingly good! Odds are if you get a deal, you can sell it for what you paid for it, if you take care of it and don't mess it up. | |
| furutech fp-s022n or furutech fp-s032n for solid state preamp No, no downside but I don't see an upside either. It is a preamp, a high quality 14g cable is definitely overkill. |
