Why bother with these grommet failing Victor ua-7045 and even heavier ua-7082 .. only to know that it will never be the same as designed by Victor engineers even with all the repair done with unknown rubber specification of the grommet ? Sold at 30kyen max back in 80s and now at 2 to 3 times more. Alternatives of them without such critical grommet failures like those from Micro Seiko, Denon, Audio Technica etc. not a better choice ? Tks !
Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm?
So, what to try in my new JVC UA-7082 Tonearm when it comes? (effective length 282mm) (11-1/8")
Guidelines? Advice? (I never bothered learning about compliance, I guess now's the time).
Anyone know the Mass of the UA-7082 Tonearm without a cartridge _______?
.....................................
Self Imposed Restrictions:
High Output, 4.0mV or more (to avoid tube preamp hum zone until it's repaired).
MM Only. (I am fundamentally opposed to MC pre-pre amp, as well as needing high output).
.......................................
Motley Crew On Hand:
4 headshells, none special
Shure MicroRidge Stylus and V15VxMR Cartridge
Shure V15VMR Cartridge (no stylus, I gave it a dirty look and it broke, horribly brittle shaft)
Shure 97xe Elliptical Stylus and Cartridge (despite it's low pedigree it's my current favorite).
Shure N78S Stylus (fits 97xe) (I did not inherit the 78's someone threatened me with).
Shure M44E Stylus and Cartridge
Audio Technica MicroLine AT440ML OOC Stylus and Cartridge
Audio Technica AT7000 body, no stylus
Audio Technica ATP-2
Audio Technica Series VIII P mount
Audio Technica ___? Came with the AT120 TT (tracks 2.5g, I never used it)
................................
It's a busy time, it doesn't get here till mid Jan, so theirs time to research.
Thanks in advance, Elliott
