| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/gallery/image/11746/medium Yes. Looking at the headshell from the front, right side up (not upside down!) you want red to upper right and green to lower right. White upper left and blue lower left. Lookin... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Chakster:Try this. But be careful with that cartridge. If it has fairly high tracking forces and you cannot establish whether it has vertical compliance, I would not advise you to be playing any mono reissues that have been cut with a stereo cutte... | |
| Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy That is a very big discrepancy; it’s normal to have some minor discrepancy with any of these gauges and especially those that have 3 decimal point resolution but that is huge. Also, try to hit the centre of the dot each time.In light of the fact t... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! Rick: I think that you will be extremely happy with your retipped Axia. You're retipping like for like with boron cantilever and as long as the stylus is similar in profile I very strongly doubt that you'll hear any difference, certainly any signi... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Somebody can correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that stereo cartridges will typically be 2 coils at a 45 degree orientation to allow pickup of both vertical and horizontal signal. Mono cartridges will either be a single coil mounted ... | |
| Grace F14 MONO cartridges and styli Not necessarily "bridged internally". Maybe, maybe not. There’s a lot of great info provided by JC in the thread linked below:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/which-mono-cartridge-at-around-1-300-00 Generator and coil orientation is the key.... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment I have four of them here. Only one of which is Stevenson. Two Baerwald and one a modified Lofgren B. So that would be news to me. Mind you, I have known what I wanted each time I ordered and specified that with Yip. He had no problem delivering wh... | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment If you don’t specify a specific alignment when ordering Yip will provide you with designer intended alignment for your specific tonearm. That could be Stevenson, Baerwald, Lofgren or proprietary (ie. Technics, Rega). So he is 1) not supplying Stev... | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! Have Andy Kim at phonocartridgeretipping.com or Steve Leung at VAS Audio quote you a retip with a new boron cantilever and microridge or line contact stylus. Send it to either of them and you'll probably have it back within a couple of weeks and i... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Absolutely. I'm currently running an Accuphase AC2 which I purchased without a stylus on it off ebay. I had another re-tipper re-work that cartridge about 4-5 months ago with a Namiki boron cantilever/microridge stylus combination and it is a beau... | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Hi Bill:I don't need another cartridge right now but I have to admit that I was watching that one that Steve had online for sale LOL. The price was pretty attractive I thought ;)I believe Steve retipped that with a FG stylus but I am curious: do ... | |
| trying to understand the Linn motor Improved power supplies for AC Motors like the Linn Lingo and VPI SDS will typically provide start up voltage (in North America) around 110-115 volts necessary to start the motor and achieve rotation of the platter. Once that rotation is achieved ... | |
| Budget phono stage under $100, cheap but refined, does it exist? Buy this and be done with it. Lots of reviews out there. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649487624-project-phono-box-2/ | |
| Cartridge new or used ? No problem buying used. Preference is for them to actually be broken. Broken cantilever, missing stylus. Open coil would not interest me. Off to the retipper once received. | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo Nandric:I was involved in a group buy of boron/microridge stylus/cantilever assemblies that a dealer on another forum organized earlier this year from Namiki. His initial thought was to pursue a diamond cantilever/stylus option but the volume pric... |
