| Unipivots Hadcocks Vs Grahams Hello everyone: Great responses- thanks!RE:0luuke1- That's interesting about the Grado "failing". Is the cantilever on the way out? Stylus worn? Regarding the Ortofon Black- perhaps it seems a little bright in comparison to the "failing" Grado. An... | |
| Unipivots Hadcocks Vs Grahams Hello Raul,Do you count tonearms to get to sleep? All of what said is true and some of it I even already know. To a degree, it's like russian roulette. However, the weight/compliance issue is at least a good starting point.It's a little like front... | |
| Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210 Hello Johnnyb53- yes, I'll have the 2M soon and I can try it out on the tonearm and then proceed an get the dampener if it sounds OK. If I decide to move ahead with a unipivot arm in the future, at least it would give me a good set-up while a get ... | |
| Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210 Hello Photon46. I will try and post on new thread when the 2M Black arrives. | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 I think that Audiofeil has answered the question for all of us. There were also posts where earlier models (how early? Don't know- but it could be anywhere within the three decades that these arms have been made) drifting from there settings. With... | |
| Unipivots Hadcocks Vs Grahams RE:Cmk:"If given the choice, I would prefer unipivots too, just want to know what pushes you in that direction."The K.I.S.S principle has drawn me to the unipivot. Reviewers seem to pick unipivot designs in their 'cream of the crop' selections. I ... | |
| Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210 I thought I would post that I sold the Garrott cartridge and I'm now waiting on a Ortofon 2M Black. The search for a suitable arm continues on other threads. | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 Hi Tvad,It seems as if I will need to be a pioneer and document my journey, eh?Trawling the net on the Hadcock has yielded information regarding workmanship/quality issues. Some of these concerns relate to the arm's adjustments 'drifting' due to p... | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 Hello Tvad, I'll respond to your last comments first.I was looking at the Origin Live mounting plates but a friend gave me an example of another brand (enabling one to fit a Rega to the Technics). I haven't owned the Origin Live example. But the o... | |
| Hadcock tonearms on a Technics SL1210 The specs for the 242 Hadcock I posted originally are wrong, the correct specs for the longer arm are listed below:Mounting Hole Diameter 3/8" (15.87mm) Overall Length 12.0" (304.8mm) Height 1.70" - 3.5" (43mm - 90mm)Pivot Stem Length to Top of Ar... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver Thanks Johnnyb53 for the detail and comment on the 2M series and the TAS review.For those following my trek in turntable, tonearm and cartridge land (and those who might me interested)- I have bought a Technics direct drive SL1210 turntable.Folk o... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver Hello everyone,Thanks for the responses. No, the 2M is not a good match on the Rega/ Origin Live type of tonearm. The Vinyl Asylum link was helpful, thanks. So, no one thought the Graham 1.5 was a goer? Methinks the Hadcock is marvelous option. I ... | |
| Rega RB 1000 - Outgunned by Origin Live? Wise words from Sunnyboy1956- thanks! I'm now looking at a Ortofon 2M Black- see other thread. | |
| Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210 Hi Johnny B,All valid points- thanks for the insight. The vibration from the turntable itself could be an an issue, but outside vibration is not as I listen through a Graham Slee headphone amp and a pair of Sennheiser cans.I've contacted KAB regar... | |
| Garrott Optim Ruby FGS cartridge - Technics SL1210 Hello Johnny B,Thanks for the input. The point I was making about the budget OM5 was that it sounded cheap, yet cheerful in the Project, yet grey, veiled and with even muddier bass in the SL1210 arm. If I strapped a floor nail to the Project's ton... |
