| Want to get into Analog The Technics SL-1200mk2 is a risky proposition. Most of them have been thrashed by rap-“DJ”s and will need all moving parts replaced. Some "Rap-DJ" ruined @sleepwalker65 life? Why so much hate for them in every post about 1200mk2 ? Moving record ... | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics @oldschool1948 I purchased mine about 3 months ago. I hadn’t thought about dust. I don’t use Dust Cover on my Technics, actually i don’t use dust cover on any turntables. But that silicone fluid is sticky and dust will be there anyway soon, afte... | |
| Want to get into Analog I’m thinking of taking a plunge into analog sources by picking up a vintage DD turntable. You must be an experienced user to understand what you’re buying when it comes to vintage DD. Or you need someone you can assist you. There seems to be an en... | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable If your cartridge skips look at the needle tip for dust, you need $10 Carbon Fibre Brush to clean your record surface on the platter each time before you will play it. To clean the stylus tip you need THIS | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics I have a few black KAB fluid dampers that i don't use anymore, i think they are only collect dust, because the a silicon fluid bath is open all the time, in a few years of regular use it's a disaster (full of dust). I think it took me 7 years to d... | |
| Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics It’s $80 cheaper from Audio-Technica | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS @bstatmeisterShibata or MicroLine are all good, but i could mention 10 more different profiles, i think this topic if not about profiles, but about a good or very good MM cartridge for $300 ? However, if you want to look at some of the best diamon... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS @clearthink You are obviously confused, disoriented, or misinformed by definition NOS means "New Old Stock" This is excactly what i said "new and never used" and if the item sold on ebay not as described anyone can return it for full refund inclu... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Look at these brand new Garrott Brothers cartridges, prices are in Australian Dollars (not in USD), so you have to calculate the actual price. Garrott K3 has Shibata stylus tip and cost USD 283 (AUD 400). You can upgrade any of them with Jico SAS ... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS What's your budget? There are much better cartridges available on the market NEW or NOS (vintage) than 2-3 manufacturers people often mention here. | |
| My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer. Normally in High-End home system we don't need an EQs, because everything is just great. The shortest signal path is the way to go. However, we change cartridges, tonearms, cables, amps, preamps to find what's the best. But for professional applic... | |
| Best MM? @schubert ADC XLM checks in at 65x10 It’s probably STATIC compliance, not DYNAMICthis is why the figure is so high, you need to know dynamic compliance to choose the arm. | |
| Groovy Picture @larryi hey, i tried to find a good working sample of Victor MC-1 since i missed a bunch of them doscovered by my friend on Gran Canaria Island in NOS condition in original boxes about 7 years ago. His price was ridiculously low, but at that time ... | |
| Best MM? Yes, it's from the 70's - early 80's. I'm still looking for their Dimension 5 model. | |
| Groovy Picture @larryi This is an image of the Victor MC-L1000 with PRINTED COIL under microscope. Audio-Technica guys were inspired by this vintage cartridge when they created new AT ART-1000 |
