I noticed something quite interesting as I acquired more collections of tonearm and carts
talking about medium compliance first. at tracking force 1.75 to 2.0 carts line contacts easily tracks and do any condition vinyl without igd. slightly less detailed.
high compliance 1.25g to 1.5g line contact gets picky with the quality of vinyl. but when it's great vinyl condition it's great. or it will distort or sometimes mistrack. Epa100 tonearm.
what do you think. or did I miss something in the high compliance?
@chakster @rauliruegas got it to work great now at 1.25 g high compliance carts now Epa100 successfully repaired. both of you right.. it's better detailed.
Nice, my advice is to upgrade your cartridge with something like AT-ML170, Grace LEVEL II, Victor X1II, Stanton SC-100 WOS, Pickering XSV/5000 .... They are all much better than your technics cartridge.
Yep, any of those super rare and very expensive cartridges (compared to modern equivalents) would be a fine choice, assuming it hasn't died a partial death while sitting in a box under unknown storage conditions for 30 or more years since manufacture. Sorry, Chak. I am a pessimist or a realist. I don't know which.
