To itsjustme. I know most of u think I've lost my mind, my saying I can't hear the difference between my two TT. When first mounting my Urishi, I did find I had to increase the tone arms mass to make the cart come alive. I thought I had bought a piece of junk. However, once the mass was increased, at the suggestion of Koetsu, everything was great. The Pioneer is direct drive, which means the speed is spot on. The plinth also is quiet-maybe more than the VPI. I'm enjoying great reproduction from both. I love dropping the tone arm and hearing that imaging that only vinyl can give. U know-the sound of the stylus leading into the song? It comes at u from both sides and u anticipate that truly wonderful sound you're about to hear. Guess I'm just looking for a change. What's better than two of the best? In case you're suspecting my set up is skewed, it isn't. And I've experimented with different base supports. I worked for months getting a base support than was almost totally immune to acoustic feedback and vibrations. I can now play records that have heavy bass and high volume levels, with no negative repercussions. I'll ask again-did anyone else miss the forum email Friday? I've contacted Audiogon and they're going to try to resend it Monday. If you're willing, pls try forwarding the email to me at steve.hege@att. net. Hope they let this go through. If not, I'll post again without my contact info. 👌
Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used
I currently have a Dynavector drt xvs1 and am looking to upgrade. In my experience, the TT has little to do with the sound. I have a $400 Pioneer PL 71, and It gives me just as good of sound a my VPI-Scoutmaster . I’m looking for a used moving coil cart around $5K. I like clear sound, not too bright, but very articulate and good tight bottom end. Please give your suggestions and why. BTW my phono preamp is a Rhea Signature with new low noise tubes. Sounds great, just looking for the elusive unicorn
