| A pitch too High! chakster, the XTZ is a cartridge from the 80's, are you certain that Grado will have the XTZ stylus and cantilever in 2021? I had a Grace F12 and they are now defunct, so having the stylus replaced by Grace was impossible. But if you know Grado st... | |
| A pitch too High! chakster, so your saying that replacing the stylus with XTZ on a $200.00 Prestige cartridge will out perform a $600.00 Sonata? Anyway, isn’t this the same service Soundsmith offers with there stylus and cantilever replacement? | |
| A pitch too High! Spending $150.00 to retip a $250.00 cartridge seems a little nutty to me. Why not just wait and upgrade to a better cartridge? I had the $600.00 Grado and on certain records, it performed well above what one might expect for that price range. I st... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I would say that Vandenhul is probably right but he did state ’in my expeience’ and the likelyhood is that he never had the same problem that you’re experiencing. My cartridge too is in a slightly lower position than the weight on my ton... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, a tonearm where the cartridge is a slight bit higher than the back of the tonearm will creatte a fuller sound. I said it will flush out the sound but I meant flesh out the sound. A tonearm where the cartridge is lower than the back o the... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I don't think anyone has mentioned this but you might consider lowering the tonearm a slight, slight bit, so that the cartridge is tilting upwards. That will help flush out the sound some and it may help with the higher signal. Aside fro... | |
| Thorens TD 165 Speed & Belt Setup Questions I have a modified TD 145 MK 1 and I've never had a motor issue. I'm currently using an Origin Live belt to good results. Anyway, the Thoren's motors are around $200.00 however you're probably fine unless the tempo just sounds wrong. | |
| Heat fiesta75, according to the manufacturer of my amp, he suggests allowing the amp to sit at low volume for a bit prior to normal play. Do you think that this will help with thermal cycling at all? | |
| Half Speed Mastering What label and what title is it? | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms lewm, yes,absolutely do not want to buy new. I occasionally see Rega, Jelco and SME on the used market. | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms lewm, if you're going to add a tonearm to a modified Thorens TD160 for a Hana MC Mono, what arms would you consider? | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms lewm, my thought was that the tonearm length is important depending on the cartridge build, including a mono cartridge (i.e. SPU) but I may have been confusing information. Most likely confusing length for weight. I was also thinking that a more e... | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms billwojo, that's a nice looking arm. Are you going to replace the cable? I wish I had the knowledge to pair up vintage components. | |
| Heat ebm, except in the winter. | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms boxer12, do you think adjusting the stylus just in front of the alignment point versus towards the back of the alignment point would offer any noticeable difference? |
