Jelco sa 750e

Thank you

Noromance!

I’m now looking at Schroeder or Reed or supatrac blackbird

Thanks for the link, I emailed them waiting to hear back

 

i wonder if Ortofon has a similar arm since Jelco made them?

I have a collar I bought from TTW audio, I was actually shocked the difference it made.

What about the reed 3 p? Or the Ikeda?

Would a expensive arm make that much of a difference?

 

im starting g to believe turntable and tonearms are the least bang for the buck

I can work on that, thanks

I’m on the hunt for one 

Beautiful tables! Very nice room

I haven’t been able to find a 850 but now considering a Schroeder or reed

Just concerned may be more arm than my table is worth

Can you explain in Sonics how the 850 is in a different league?

so should I assume the 950 is even better than the 850?

I read the 850 was a lot better arm,

thanks for your reply

I see, I’m just a bit limited with the 240mm

Mounting distance.

I suppose there may be some upgrades for the Jelco too

thsnks for the I fo

I think I’m gonna try another cartridge for now, thanks for the suggestions

What makes the 850 better is it the knife bearing?

I see, thanks for the advice and clarification

Ahh so I need to measure the hole as well

makes sense 

It’s 1.25 in

Interesting, I know very little about the fidelity research arms

except they are heavy mass and great for low compliance catridges

heat lamp warms up the grease I guess?

Looks really solid, I was about to make a trade for a sp10 that had a fidelity research fx64 s on it but he backed out.

I read that if the vtf was hard to turn it would need to be cleaned and regreased

Did you have your cleaned and regressed?

the plinth is corian several layers I’ll have to look into what to drill it with

thanks

Hmm interesting will do thanks

The more I listen to the 750e it is quite a nice arm

 

but given the cost I’m sure there’s better I’m just wondering am I getting into the diminishing returns area of my investment? or would it be significant?

 

i was even looking at a Ikeda arm way more than I paid for my whole turntable but if it would be a great improvement.

 

who knows this can be a crazy hobby but fun

 

i really feel like the most important part of the equation is the room

I’m currently using a modded Denon 103 with a Oswald mills headshell sounds very good

Who? Nothing is showing up

Just got a return email

 

long gone he says

Anyone compared Sorane to Jelco?

What’s the different specs?

 

I’ve never had the opportunity to listen to a Garrard but really like the Lenco

 

its on a ptp4 and corian base with heavy platter 

For some reason says action not permitted

So I pulled the Jelco today, the hole size is 31.75 mm that’s for 240mm spindle to pivot.

 

the arm I’m wanting is 222mm spindle to pivot

 

since the base of tonearm is attached by screws

 

does the hole size matter?

So how much larger will I have to make the hole for a 222mm to fit?

Disregard, I’m not gonna buy it

So I think I’ve been looking at this the wrong way can someone tell me is there any reason I can’t drill this hole out and just put a armboard over it? That way I can use any arm

That’s what I was thinking!

I would assume ortofon and Sorane may be similar in build quality
