| Ways the stylus tip is attached to the cantilever Perfect! Thanks for the info Stevecham! | |
| Ways the stylus tip is attached to the cantilever @Chakster? | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Get the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pros, with a Monolith by Monoprice Desktop Headphone Amplifier and DAC with THX AAA Technology (Dual AKM 4493 DACs & Dual AAA-788 Modules) These 2 come in at $1100 total, but you CANNOT do better than this combo... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Just bought the AT VM540ML. I didn't want to buy the JICO SAS since the main part of the Shure cart body was ever so slightly crooked after I super glued it back together.After doing a lot of research I am confident that I bought the right one. (s... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Thanks @chakster , I appreciate you trying to steer us in the right direction. You are right, I have never heard any golden age carts, but I haven't heard many new ones either. Perhaps ignorance is bliss? Really the ONLY cart I've spent any amount... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS @chakster what do you recommend that is new (no NOS) for no more than $300 that is better than the AT VM540ML, Nag MP150, or N97 Jico S.A.S? | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Looks like a direct correlation. the nag and 540ML overlap in the VTF and their masses are almost the same, so both have similar compliance | |
| Vinyl***What If*** +1 on the Technics + Nag combo^ | |
| Whats one of the most memorable listening nights you have ever had? Anytime I can carve out an hour for Mike Oldfield's Amarok on HDCD. WOW! Talk about Dynamics and musical diversity. Blows me away every time. | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Forgot to mention the digital tracking force gauge. Only 10 bucks on Amazon | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Rega P3 or MoFi or Technics 1200GR tableSky’s the limit on the cart, but a good MM can be had in the $200-$500 range that will keep you happy I’m sure. I myself will likely get a Audio Technica VM540ML very soon to replace my old Shure M97xEphono ... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS yeah just recently the main plastic body of my 97xE came off the metal upper portion of the cart while I was putting on new leads (looks like the glue disintegrated). I super glued it back but it could be a little off center/crooked... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS But tracking force of the Nagaoka is only 1.5 - 2.0 (similar to the Shure) why would I want to add extra wight? | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Also, for those who've heard both (maybe I should start a separate thread on it, but I'll throw it out there anyway) How about how the Nagaoka MP-150 compares to the 540ML? They are nearly identical in price. | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Thanks Stevecham, what does this mean on whether one cart will perform better than another? |
