| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR V15Vx bodies are hard to find, V15V bodies a bit easier, upgrading a M97xe body is an option, get an advanced stylus shape on Shure’s optional use anti-static damped brush. Jico makes a replacement stylus for Shure’s M97xe body, SAS on Boron with... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR I got clever, bought a Shure 97xe (my favorite Elliptical) with a damped brush. Had Steve at VAS re-fit it with an advanced stylus on boron. Now I am the only person I have heard of with 97xe with an advanced stylus. AND, it fits my Shure V15Vxmr ... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR mijostyn OP "As for the Jico brush it certainly is damped and they tell you to add 1/2 gram when using it. I am not using it because in my arm it is not needed. I am thinking of removing it entirely." I wrote JICO after I received mine, they rep... | |
| The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR Original V15Vxmr cantilever was Beryllium, the lightest/stiffest/ (but brittle, I broke mine), on my TD124 heavy platter, the best bass I ever had, and tracked at 1.25g, which is why I consider 2.0g ’heavy’. The Top Shure's each came with their t... | |

| SME Model 20/12 versus TechDas AirForce V or Suggestions for a 2 tonearm TT thorens with vacuum, keep all or sell some least favorite arm(s), note mine, Luxman, this one has a dust cover, many do not. thorens TD 226 with 2 arms | |
| SME Model 20/12 versus TechDas AirForce V or Suggestions for a 2 tonearm TT mijostyn my wood floors are springy, isolation from that movement is beyond difficult, sadly made me part with my beloved Thorens TD124 which has a bearing very susceptible to vertical movement. Both the JVC Plinth and Luxman Plinths have specia... | |
| SME Model 20/12 versus TechDas AirForce V or Suggestions for a 2 tonearm TT I went for Vintage Direct Drive Quartz Locked on composite 7 layer deck JVC TT81 spinner on JVC Plinth CL-P2 (two removable armboards) then I added a 3rd arm, had to be a very compact Mission/Jelco to fit within the dust cover Notice, I adde... | |
| Is this a bargain? Never saw or heard one. I'd like to compare it to my AT33PTG/II. Significant cost difference, Of course it can be removed from the headshell, but that doesn't make it your best choice, their AT33PTG/II has channel separation 30db and channel bal... | |
| Wiring for mono-blocks Oh, sorry, I assumed you were bridging a pair of mono-blocks. it's a stereo amp, bridged, thus two stereo amps bridged into a pair of mono-blocks for a pair of speakers, why didn't you say so? Heh. Still, you should not be tripping breakers. To... | |
| Wiring for mono-blocks a pair of bridged amps drive a SINGLE speaker, how can you say bridged and driving two speakers? something is wrong, no way should you be tripping breakers, | |
| How to connect old tape deck to Pass XP-22 to listen/record I don't see 'monitor' on the preamp. The 'out' of your preamp's tape loop is always active I suspect. old days: monitor let you choose to hear either the selected source (monitor off) or the recording of the selected source (monitor in, i.e. the ... | |
| New Cartridge advice I found this, just to see what you have, seems like a keeper, liquid audio review of Denon DP-62L Turntable I like the end of play auto up feature as well as the interchangeable arm wands, and that the S has a removable headshell. I would use a... | |
| Cartridge upgrade Cartridge 1st! You will definitely hear cartridge differences on a most basic TT, think 'preferred' rather than better, and you may or may not hear differences between arms and/or spinners. You can always move a cartridge to a 'better' arm or ta... | |
| Anyone ever listened to a vintage Victor Laboratory X1 cartridge chakster always had good things to say about JVC cartridges of that era. |
