Time to throw out all my vinyl replay gear obviously then and grab myself an old ipod and set of earbuds.

TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?
TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?
I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.I am just wondering: Who tried and ended up preferring a 12" arm?
Aside from all other upgrades you probably did at the same time, which could have improved a 9" arm, what about the 12" arm made you stick with it?
I suppose, 'I tried 12" and went back to 9"' would be good to know also
thanks, Elliott

Disaster Dual Arm TT with tt81 and UA-7082 arm arrived from Canada severely damaged. Box was a mess outside, clearly had been dropped. I had driver note box condition, opened it. 3 legs snapped off base, those plastic legs broken into pieces, two big gouges in top edges of wood base, dust cover corner snapped off. Arm, cartridge, din cable, transformer all ok. Took damage photos, called UPS 20 minutes after it got here. UPS picks it up today, does local damage inspection within 2 days, then UPS contacts the seller to process a damage claim. It was properly packed IMO, but it had a serious fall somehow. Got my eye on 2 others, but, need refund!!! |
Probably the seller have no idea how to pack for international transit. Everything must have been disassembled, turntable must have been wrapped, the best way is to use macroflex spray between the box and the wrapped turntable, this is the best way to protect everything, this macroflex liquid foam (when it's frozen) hold the turntable tightly, so it does not move in the box at all, great protection even for a far longer transit than Canada to USA. Make claim with paypal, open the case on paypal for this transaction, send it back for full refund, paypal will cover return shipping, this is buyers protection. |
meanwhile, I just bought this one (also from Canada. He assures me it will arrive unharmed). https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649579421-victor-jvc-tt-81-high-quality-quartz-lock-turntable-with-fidelity-research-tonearm-reduced/ It has 9" Fidelity Research Arm on the side, and a rear hole, presumably for 9", which is where I will put the Lustre GST-801 arm that arrived in wonderful condition. Exact distance? I'll deal with it. refund: it was found on canuckaudiomart, not eBay. 1st, $1,000. insurance from UPS. Then try PayPal for the $104. not covered by insurance. If the money goes to seller, and he refunds me via PayPal, then PayPal might refund me $46. it charged me to send the money. Then, perhaps my Credit Card linked to PayPal will kick in something. I could end up making money. |
