| Cartridge headshell, what would you choose and why? Islandmandan,Those $50 head shells at LP/Gear are the same ones that Yogiboy likes at $90 except the name Sumiko has been left off. Even the leads are the same!Regards, | |
| who in the CONUS can rewire a Micro Seiki Tonearm? I just had my Lustre GST-801 rewired by Discovery Cable.Excellent repair and fast service.http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Tone-Arms/DISCOVERY-CABLE/Tonearm/Rewire-Service/66392Regards, | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Weather it will have any effect will depend on the length of the slots in the head portion when the cartridge is mounted. Their slotted for a reason. 5mm is only 2 tenths of an inch. Not much. Most slots are quite a bit longer that that so if usin... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? I agree with both Mofimadness and Kgturner. One good clean and then anti-static brush before each play after that. If your records become so dirty after that which requires more cleaning by a RCM then the problem is with you and not your records. ... | |
| SME turntables And to think that I just saw a Victor TT-81 in perfect working order on a Canadian auction site for $400. I seriously doubt that anything mentioned so far is going to out class it even at 75 X's its price!Regards, | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib,You bring up a good point. There is no piece of equipment that can measure W&F of true absolute '0'. So at some point in this discussion, it is going to have to be accepted that the TT-101 is probably at that threshold of being non-exist... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib,When you say VTF adjuster 'lock' are you referring to the locking nut that allows the shaft to freely move up and down? There is a nut that attaches the arm to the arm board. Then there is a nut that unlocks the arm shaft that would allows t... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib, I do hope what ever is wrong with your UA-7045 is something that can be easily fixed. That is the tone arm I currently have mounted on my TT-81. You will be quite impressed with it if becomes fully operational. In regards to the arm board o... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib. I also have a VPI Aries. I sent an email to VPI asking them for the price of an arm board for this Aries table so that I could mount a Lustre 801 arm that I have an opportunity to own. I was told by a return email that they no longer provid... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro and Fleib, I have not had a need to check the V/E web site in regards the the service manual because I received the original manual with my TT-81. It does state what Halcro has repeated from the V/E site. Regards, | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Audio Technica is not a new kid on the block when it comes to producing good cartridges. There biggest problem is to convince the 'bean counters' that there is a market out there and money to be made if the right product is presented.regards, | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Totem395 Heat is the curse of audio components. I would hate to think you destroyed your TT101 or any audio component for that matter due to lack of circulation. I would think it was designed with its bottom hanging out for a reason.Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Neo, I have a Nagaoka MP50 Super which is a square shank nude mounted 'in' a Sapphire tube but this is not something currently being produced. I think Nagaoka is capable and does produce anything that the market requires, just not on their current... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree I had Axel install one of his last Beryllium/Shibata cantilever's on a Goldring G800. It is one of the cartridges that I will never sell. NEVER! That cartridge truly has a great generator. I might have to buy one of these Astatic's to ke... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3, I discovered it on one of the forums that I visit quite some time ago. I do not remember which one but due to all the information contained within, I filed it away in a folder on my laptop under stylus! I do wonder why there was no mentio... |
