| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @jtnicolosi effective mass on my Reed 3P "12 Cocobolo is about 18g and currently i use my Garrott P77 on it (loaded at 100k). But my Garrott is an old one, tuned by Garrott Brothers. The new Garrott cartridges are a little bit different, maybe eve... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No problem, but i was not impressed by XL-55 when i had Zyx Airy, it was long time ago, maybe XL-55 was slightly worn, it was a cartridge of my flat mate. Over the years i've been looking for top vintage MM cartridges, tonearms and turntables to f... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I would happy to buy CS-100 from you and Raul at lower price than 881s mk2 if you think CS-100 is not good :) Personally i sold 980LZS when i've checked CS-100. At the same time the Astatic MF200 and MF100 (equivalents of the Glanz MF31L and MF71L... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @lewm Chakster, Per your post of 6/21/17, I would take issue with some of the cartridges you chose to place on your "best ever" list. For example, many believe that the Stanton CS100 is not even the best vintage Stanton cartridge. In my opini... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @invictus005 I've tried 100K, but do not prefer it. It makes the sound brighter, which is not what I like most of the time, but I can see it working in some cases. great you can change the loading, some of the very best Grace and Victors must... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @invictus005 don’t hesitate to tell us which vintage MMs have you auditioned then? And have you tried 100k loading instead of 47k ? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @aigenga long time ago you posted this: At this moment my TT101 is out for recapping and contact cleaning at a local (Brooklyn, NY) pro audio repair shop - RepairNY.com I might have waited too long to get it recapped as a warm up suddenly became ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Seachin’ on youtube i found two videos of tt-101 from the same user, in this video his tt-101 is broken, but in the next video his tt-101 is fixed and properly working. The youtube username is yoshikgw9999 and there are only two videos on his chan... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove back in 2016 and in early 2017 you said:I got hold of a turntable JVC TT-101. My model is a sample version..... It does not seem to brushed aluminum and anodized but left natural finish, serial number 10100575 Mystery? I finished thes... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, i made notes reading this thread. The source for my suggestion was your old post (see the quote below). I assume it never happened and you shipped to JP, which is great. @lewm I am also thinking hard about sending my Victor TT101 to Germany ... | |
| Has Anyone Heard the (fairly) New Technics Grand Class TT? You can simply use search option to find several threads about it before start it all over again. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @halcro oops, it was Lew you tried to send his tt-101 to Tuchan’s tech in Germany once. PM sent | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @halcro Regensburg in Bavaria may be closer to you chakster......That's where Thuchan's Tech resides and I've witnessed his work first-hand. It's first class and he now knows the TT-101 inside out.... The closest route, worth to visit personall... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @downunder Hi MishaCome to Sydney for a holiday and bring your turntable.Yes, Chris is in Sydney. Haha, i imagine those guys on security control in the airport when they will meet me with TT-101 in the bag :) | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @lewm Chak, Your symptom sounds a bit different from mine, although maybe close enough to have the same cause. As I wrote somewhere here, my TT101 would start up fine and go to correct speed, but it would very soon thereafter start to "hunt"; the... |
