| Cartridge new or used ? This is MicroLine diamond under professional microscope and this is the same diamond under macro lens for iPhone. When the diamond (stylus tip) is bigger we can see the diamond much better, this is brand new, never used Dynavector MicroReach diamo... | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo @griffithds is that your fist post in a while or am i missed something ? Glad you returned to the message board. | |
| Cartridge new or used ? First you have to know which stylus profile, then you can search for the manual to find out a life span of the stylus. Some of them must be replaced after 300-500 hrs, some more expensive can be replaced after 1500 or even 2000 hrs. You can count ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @nandric well, never tried them, i can only recommend what i have tried and what i really like. But you're welcome to add more interesting tonearms. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G There are many more amazing tonearms on the market, do not limit yourself with a brand new tonearms like Jelco. They are OK, but nothing special. Look and read more about Japanese High-End tonearms from the past, all of them in the list below have... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? @schubert i’ve tried that Pioneer few years ago in Paris, it’s just a clone of old Technics DJ classics, it’s OK and better than cheaper clones from Stanton, Audio-Technica and some other no-name turntables that looks just like the old Technics SL... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @dynaquest4 When digital photography was limited to 4 to 8 megapixels, "purists" said film was better; despite all the many disadvantages and expense of film and film processing. Now with 24 megapixels being the standard, nobody (hardly) argues th... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon When you bought the Sumiko cartridge seller’s feedback does not help much, you have received defective cartridge and not even get a quick refund?When you see many feedbacks you’re dealing with professional sellers. Even those cheaters who sells gr... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? Pioneer is a nonsense since the Technics is back to business with $1700 SL1200GR and more expensive G model for serious audiophiles. Pioneer lovers should look for PL70 II instead. At that time Pioneer did not tried to copy Technics design.Their o... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? Well the you can hear the hum only at MAXIMUM volume which we don’t use in real life in the living room. Also in addition you’re hearing a hum from the phono stage and amp as you said. Also your music is not at the "leadout groove" on the record, ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Assuming I choose the right cartridge @essrand The right cartridge is Pickering XSV-3000 (or Stanton 881s) MM with original Stereohedron stylus (one of the best profile ever made) if you don’t want to spend more than $400 to get highly competitiv... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Of course the dealers will recommend you an MC cartridges, because they know nothing about rare MM cartridges and what they do is just sell what is available for the dealers from the manufacturers today. What's the point to ask a dealer ??? You're... | |
| No right channel in new cartridge @tochsii so you’re looking for cheap MC cartridge for some reason, on the MC territory a brand new cartridge with a typical price tag under $2000 considered "cheap", normally those cartridges can’t compete even with $300-400 MM from the golden era... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G The "G" is pretty much an audiophile tunrtable, it is not affordable for DJs at $4000 as they need at least two of them to DJ. The "G" is equal to the "GAE" they are audiophile turntables for sure. "GR" model is a compromise, it’s cheaper, so this... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Direct Drive all the way, so Technics! |
