| Koetsu surprise @james1969 It would make sense to match the Ortofon headshell with those leads however I have read that they are difficult to use due to stiffness and have low quality clips. Maybe that is not your experience?@nandric In this hobby, command of y... | |
| Koetsu surprise Just an update after dialing in the Koetsu RSP on the FR-64S tonearm. I have tried a couple different headshells including a stock Jelco, a Jelco HS-30 Rosewood (which is heavier and with different headshell leads but still contacts the cartridge ... | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges @ausliebesurmuzik, please let me know what you think of the 407/Yamamoto/Koetsu combo. I just received an HR-6s headshell and mounted a Koetsu RSP on an FR-64S. I was interested because it is unclear to me how to fine adjust the zenith given the... | |
| koetsu Hard to answer that if it is sounding so good! I use a Fidelity Research FR-64S which has an effective mass of 35 grams. I am currently using a Jelco-Rosewood headshell at 16.7 grams. I would assume that the resonance Hz is below ideal, but thi... | |
| koetsu @james1969 What tonearm are you using for your RSP? | |
| koetsu Hi James. I too have been enjoying an RSP since last May. I can tell you that it continues to get better! I use a PASS XP-15 as a phono preamp at the medium gain setting and 100 Ohm loading. To the original posters point, I don’t know if this ... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Hi Pani,I have listened to an A90 in my system on a Jelco 750D with a TTW VTA collar mod for several years. The A90 is sensitive enough to pick up the tonearms character. I listened with two other arms in addition to the Jelco and could easily hea... | |
| Anvil Turntable comparison I don't want to sound like an Anvil yes man all the time but I can share some second hand insight. A good friend of mine had a VPI classic with an Ortofon 2M Black going into his BAT integrated and Thiel 3.7's. He was visiting my place and was v... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I've had three different Vandersteen pairs in my main rig. Started the hifi journey with a pair of 2ci's in the early 90's, then went to a pair of kit speakers (North Creek), then to a 5A's (which were the only Vandy's I could never get to sound ... | |

| A vote for the little guy suppliers Bruce @ Anvil TurntablesHerbies Audio LabK + KSchiit for sure! | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? I use AccuTrak arc protractors for my arms. I have a TT where I can adjust P2S distance easily. I think this point was made earlier, with Arc protractors you don't need highly accurate P2S measurement, just need accurate enough to get within the... | |
| Tonearm microphonics @handymann A year ago or so, I had the same problem as you, especially with LOMC cartridges. The solution was isolating the turntable. In my case, I used Anvil turntables excellent magnetic footers, but I'm sure there are other good solutions. ... | |
| Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help Anvil turntable footers completely solved my acoustic feedback issues. I agree with trying to move place your table farther from the powered woofers if possible. You never know how much better it might sound. | |
| Koetsu surprise @13blm I totally agree with your sentiment here. A goal for a good hifi in my opinion allows one to cater to their moods. For most that means a high relolution low distortion system, most of the time. I finding that the KRSP is giving me all the... |
