Question on FR 66s
Having been listening to FR 66s for the last couple of months with a few cartridges, I think that it is definitely outstanding for low compliance high mass cartridge. In my system, Koetsu Coralstone and Ikeda Kai sounded exceptional.I tried Koetsu... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
I got another Arche headshell, Aggelos leads and mounted my Ikeda cartridge on it with no problem at all. No struggling, bending, twisting the wires and absolutely no problem with SRA at all as Aggelos exerts pretty much zero force back on the car... 
VPI 3D tonearm
Stringreen, looking forward to hear your comment. It is so much more useful to hear from someone who have actually heard the real thing. As Halcro said, it does not matter how the thing is made, it is the final result that counts and I am eagerly ... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
Hmmm.. I posted something about 12 hours ago and it went into limbo. So this is kind of a duplicate post from earlier.The new headshell leads look promising but heat shrink of whatever you called it looks a bit too long, I might have to trim it a ... 
VPI 3D tonearm
I am definitely am interested in this arm. As far as material is concerned, isn't Continuum tonearm using similar type of material? I thought somebody even mentioned in the past that Copperhead arm may actually be the first 3D printing arm or at l... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
Sounds good! Mine should be here very soon. In comparison to Ikeda cartridge, the rear of Koetsu is extended probably another 1/2 cm toward the rear so there is very little clearance space. The long shrink wrap or whatever it is called make me a b... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
I ordered a couple of sets and another Arche headshell as well. They should be here soon. Since there is just a bit over 1/2 cm space between the end of the pins of the cartridge and headshell (for Koetsu and Kiseki) something very bendy and thin ...

Halcro, unfortunately my car is an 11 years old Honda CRV and my major transportation mode is walking as it only take me 15 minutes by foot to get to work but in Bangkok traffic, it may take me up to 30-45 minutes by car to go the same distance. I...

Halcro, I see, so we both have TW, FR66s in common and now Grotrian as well! I have a Grotrian 192 in standard gloss piano black. Grotrian make some of the best upright pianos that I have ever tried and when I came across an excellent offer for 19...

Dear Raul, I supposed one day when I find a combination of cartridge/tonearm/table that is superior to everything else that listening to other combination does not derive any pleasure anymore, I will be down to one setup only as well.At this momen... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
I don't know what an audiophile is supposed to be. In an ideal world where all recordings are made equal and there are no evil or incompetent recording label/studio/engineer, all recordings are made with absolute transparency and fidelity, honest ... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Multiple tables, arms, cartridges, is like when you go to live classical performance, should it be at Musikverien, Carnegie hall, Boston Symphony hall? Which orchestra, Berlin, Vienna, NY, Chicago etc etc, which conductor?You could try to search f... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
3 tables, 4 arms, 5-6 cartridges. Now that I have 2 arms with detachable headshells, I hope I will get to hear all the cartridges in a more regular rotation. One arm has mono cartridge. The rest are all stereo MCs. I think while some set up is bet... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Bruce, when I had my Classic I, I also eventually upgraded the armbase to one with VTA on the fly. At that time, there was no Classic3 arm per se so it was technically an upgrade from 10.5i to standard JMW 10.5. At that time, it also included rewi... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
hmmm.. I posted about 10 hours ago and nothing showed up.Peterayer, anyhow, I don't know whose blame this is. It could be combination of Arche, Koetsu's dimension and stiffness of leadwires. Actually I should say the stiffness of the joint and lea...
