Dear @nkonor: """ You thought that I needed to rewire the tonearm with your recommended wire, that I needed to waste my money on multiple headshells. That I needed to do this and waste a lot of time critically listening to all these tweaks to gain the knowledge and only then could I be sure that a better tonearm would elevate the stock Technics to a new level. WRONG !! """
Rewire any stock tonearm as the Technics that was builded at a low price point always is a must to do it. My advise silver wire recomendation was only an alternative for do it that but certainly not the last " word ".
A removable headshel tonearm design as the Technics gives to any one the opportunity to really match any single cartridge for its can shows at its best. Choosing different headshells with different build materials, different headshells weigth, different builded shape and even choosing different female cartridge pin connectors makes the difference always.
A non removable headshell design can’t do the best for all cartridges and always will puts its " signature " that we can’t change and if some one is deep founded on the ideal resonance frequency it’s extremely more easy to achieve it through a removable headshell design because even that normally a fixed headshell designs comes with different counter weigths it can’t really change the inertia moment due that the counterweigth is so near the tonearm pivot and in a removable headshell design the weigth changes trhough different headshells can do it because are at the farest point to that tonearm pivot.
Yes, I still think that you can’t be aware how good is the stock Technics tonearm because you did not give that tonearm to shows it at its best.
You said a waste of time and money well I’m in total disagreement with you in this regards because that Technics tonearm is a very well designed and with very high quality excecution of that design at a low price market point.
In tonearms like in any audio item always exist trade offs and the success in each one audio systems depends on which trade offs we choosed. I stay with a moded stock Technics for very good reasons against your Triplanar.
Btw, I want to let and to be very clear: first I'm not against any person per sé. I'm against any dishonest person, against any person that lie on purpose, against any person that wants to take advantage on the low knowledge level of other persons, against any bia$ed opinion because his comercial bu$$ine$.
I respect any single human been but those with that kind of " atributtes " .
If you don't care about or are in favor of then is up to you. Btw, are you dishonest or a lier?: I don't think so.
Please let me know when J.Carr , or other audio manufacturers that post through internet, posted something in favor his Lyra designs or speaks against the competitions or lied in any way. Well I can tell you that NEVER did it and never will. This is the kind of gentlemans I respect and that's why I respect you too.
