| turntable with detachable headshell Thanks; I did read a review, which was good. I wonder if other audiogon members see this as a quality audiophile TT? | |
| cartridge demagnetization Thanks for all the input; Czbbcl: I did watch that video on UTube. Does anyone not agree that method is safe and effective? | |
| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 A slight correction: The Shure V15III never had a brush, only [in the V15 series] the V15IV and V]. I presume the 1812 version is the notorius Telarc, right,M-db? | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection However, the list price for the Ortofon Cadenza black is almost $2000 more than the 2m black! [not $250!] | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth I agree with a lot of what Halcro has to say, and I've also tried many tonearm/cartridge combinations and haven't heard horrible results even when the compliance/ resonance formulas were way off. However, I still have copies of Stereo Review magaz... | |
| Rega Aria Phonostage Vs Aqvox 2CI Mk 2 Only the Rega Aria with an RP8on the MC side, and misc. MM's on the MM side; I like this combo because you can have 2 TT's plugged in at the same time. | |
| Miracord 50H Turntable I also previously posted a thread on this topic about idler drive turntables and mentioned the Miracord 50H,one of which I purchased in 1971, using it not as a changer but in single play mode. I challenge the fact that it was a lower end product. ... | |
| Rekokut Rondine 3 vs. Merill AR es1 replica Lewm: your point is well taken. I do not own either of said turntables, and it seems no one really is familiar with them; therefore, in a decision to purchase a turntable which allows easy cartridge exchange, I thought of the Technics SL 1200II, w... | |
| Rekokut Rondine 3 vs. Merill AR es1 replica Dear Maxh: Nope, I don't need 78rpm; just easy cartridge exchange so as to utilize the many phonocarts I have which have never been used. The above 2 models are equiped with Jelco 250 TAs.....Of course, there is always the Technics SL 1200 which i... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Hi, Fleib; your expertise is greatly appreciated; much of your advice has already been implemented, and much of it will be in the future. You have answered and resolved many mysteries I have had over the years, for which I am grateful! To have acc... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Hello Fleib: I got data from Ortofon that their 110 tonearm weighs 3.5 gms. without headshell. I assumed you could simply add the headshell weight to that value to get the tonearm Effective Mass, from which you could figure resonance, etc. How doe... | |
| Technics headshell weight/ Audio Technica 440mla c Thanks Fleib; I've looked at your contibutions and I am impressed by your knowledge in this area. I note the Technics 1200 arm has an effective mass of 12 g. as does the SME 3009 II, non improved. Does this mean that by simple subtraction both arm... | |
| Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos I've had a Rega P3, P5, RP6 and RP8, and phonopreamps from Project, Bellari, PS Audio, Music Fidelity, and finally a Rega Aria, which gets my vote. Plus, you can hook up two turntables at the same time, one MM, and the other MC. | |
| Rega RP8 cartridge? At this point, Lyta cartridges are clear winners. Any other sub $2000 contenders [MC]. | |
| technics SL 1300 modificatiom Interesting option; Vegasears; any ideas about specific headshells? |
