| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @bsmg just stick to your Ortofon if you don’t want to discover much better MM cartridges from the past. They are available in NOS (never used) condition, sometimes even factory sealed and still cheaper than those Orotofon models you’re using. As i... | |
| Groovy Picture @uberwalts ahh, ok For some reason i just can't find any SAS availabe for sale at JICO website. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @bsmg I will stick with what the Ortofon engineers have published This is for marketing purpose only, read what Peter replied to you, i believe he’s experienced with both carts and styli if you will click on the link in his post (you will see). A... | |
| Groovy Picture @uberwalts It is the n91ed, LP gear have it listed at $199.95.https://www.lpgear.com/product/e007424.html Well, you always buying something else for some reason.Your stylus is custom made stylus for LP Gear only (US, Cadada only), they are ordere... | |
| Groovy Picture @larryi The notable one, to me, is Audiotechnica’s ART 1000 cartridge which attaches very tiny coils to the tip end of the cartridge (just behind the stylus). As far as I know, this is a unique design. Audio-Technica ART-1000 designer was inspire... | |
| Groovy Picture S.A.S. is great @uberwaltz We've been buying them years ago, our Number One propagandist of S.A.S. is Halcro :) He has not only S.A.S. on boron cantilever (not available anymore from Jico), but Neo S.A.S. available on Sapphire or on Ruby cantileve... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black No, the Ortofon black stylus cannot be used with the blue cartridge body. This according to the Ortofon website. I think you have no idea what you’re talking about, no matter what stated on the Ortofon website, here is a comparison chart of all m... | |
| Groovy Picture Just wondering, how do we define "modern"? Many of the "advanced" styli shown in those beautiful Lucite models have been with us quite awhile. IIRC, the Stereohedron was introduced for Quadrophonic —late-1960s-early ’70s? I saw one in 1971: close ... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Thought you were asking for guidance in hooking it up and you're already hooked up. Thanks @hdm , but It was @lewm who said that something wrong, see below Chakster, the way you have hooked up your Grace to your stereo system could cause a d... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli We’re looking at Denon 102 just as a guide? Because i don’t want another mono cartridge. My Grace F14 Mono has been pre-mounted on dedicated Grace headahell with leadwires already connected (correctly). I’m checking all my new carts with Test Reco... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black The OP's turntable Music Hall 2.2 is almost like Pro-Ject Debute Carbon designed for use with Ortofon 2M Blue or Red, those turntables suplied by the manufacturer with Ortofon cartridge as optimum and cost effective solution. It's a low budget tur... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli This is the "Y" type MONO lead wires, i have almost the same with my Grace F14 MONO | |
| Groovy Picture Sure, but this is the best i can do with my macro lens with Replicant-100 (which is exactly like F.Gyger). This Replican-100 is pretty impressive on SPU Royal G mkII cart. One of the most complicated profiles in the history. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black You can upgrade components all your life and still not get the most out of your vinyl :) | |
| Groovy Picture This is how the modern high-end styli looks like, they are transparent, this is what we call nude diamonds. Your linked pictures looks like a steel needles for 78 rpm from your grandpa :) |
