| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? What i can see under my macro lens:-This is X-1II (Shibata/Beryllium) -Here is X-1IIE (Elliptical/Titanium or Beryllium) The are both original, but way different from each other, the X-1IIE is hollow pipe and straight (conventional design), but th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @halcro right, i remember when i sold mine i was pretty sure it’s beryllium, but now i see a few sellers stated X-1IIE as titanium cantilever, i’m a bit confused. Maybe i missed something? Anyway, i think Elliptical X-1IIE is not extended to 60kHz... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove @Chakster Sorry what is your country? I'm in St.Petersburg to be exact | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove I found the turntable repairer that in the past had saved the link ..... I do not know how it works and what experiences it has, but if anyone in the future needs it can remember it.https://www.wilkinsons.tv/?page_id=1173 Thanks, e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just realized that Victor X-1IIE has titanium cantilever, not sure if the information is correct, but here you read more. I thought it's beryllium, but if the X-1IIE (Orange, Elliptical) has a titanium cantilever, the only Berylluim one is the X... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Feickert is great, worth the price (especially used), i use it with all my tonearms and i don't need any other protractors. I like the build quality. design and accurasy and if you can find any better it must be very expensive. The cheaper protr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @bimasta this is all bulshit, without original cantilever and original stylus this 205c MK4 cartridge is a waste of time and money. None of the existing replacement is equal to the original (the original has the lowest tip mass and hollow pipe Bor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas right, so we have one more misterious cartridge from JVC Victor and i'm intrigued, would be nice to see some pictures. Thanks Raul. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas The JVC I speak is the one labeled X-1 at the top cartridge plate, the model is: JVC X-1 MK2 and is different on what you are attesting. The side labeled is different. I have dejavu nowHere is a pair of my X1 labeled Victor. And h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ok, i will add specs for comparation from an old German JVC catalog. In this catalog of cartridges even Victor X-1 labeled as JVC X-1. For this reason i think it’s just a different branding of the same products. There is no JVC X-1II in the cat, b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? it’s like apple and oranges-the clear jico has straight alluminum cantilever-the original has stiffer Beryllium cantilever with its unique construction (shape) with flat platform where the stylis is fastened (nude shibata originally invented by JV... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I will repeat it once again that orange Jico stylus for X1II-E is nothing special, it has cheap Alluminum cantilever and Elliptical tip, while the original has hollow pipe Beryllium Cantilever (equal or better than most expensive Boron) and Nude S... | |
| SP-10 Mat Glad you like it, my Micro CU-500 on SP-10mk2 was significant upgrade in sound quality, sadly the CU-500 is so hard to find and twice as much in price than CU-180. But those copper mats not only sound so good, but also looks so attractive on Techn... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I can’t comment on quality difference between X1II and X-2, but to prove that we need somebody else who has both on hands. BTW the Victor X1 also branded JVC X1 in German catalogs for example. But in that catalog of all JVC cartridges you will not... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas as far as i know the product made for Japanese market always branded Victor, while the products for international market (outside of japan) always branded JVC. here is a bit of history: Victor Company of Japan, Ltd, usually referred t... |
