Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent

@slaw 

( The azimuth adjustment on an ET arm is easy!) I don't know what the above poster is referring to?)
I guess that you are referring to me. I said, "it’s hard to see that the azimuth adjustment can be anything like as fine as the Trans-Fi, which has a 2 inch adjustment base, which yields adjustment increments of 5 minutes of arc."
You will note that (1) I did not say that azimuth adjustment on the ET was hard, as you imputed to me, and (2) I did not categorically state that the adjustment was not as fine. But I suspect that it is not - or can you get stable, repeatable 5 minutes of arc adjustment? If so, that's useful information, and I would prefer to be corrected.

"He states it's high pressure... that's what the end user has paid for. It doesn't have to be.)" I stand corrected. Thank you.
 

The Best Bang For The Buck I Ever Spent?

Epoxied a brass plate to my Denon DL 103 cartridge - $12 in total

Turned a good cartridge into an excellent cartridge.:-)

One more thing about the Trans-Fi is that it allows the anal-retentive to really get really into nervosa. The flat, parallel sides of the wand allow one to align the cartridge very close to perfect tangentiality; I recently achieved 3 minutes of arc, based on setting parallelism to better than 0.001 inches.

My cartridges really seem to blossom with this level of precision. Yours may too.

Original Japanese promo records from seventies and early eighties. It's as if you'd just upgraded your entire system. Played with the same arm and cartridge, of course. Forget the fancy arms and cartridges to begin with - get the recordings in the best quality available. Yup, master tape dubs would be better, this is second best.
