Luxman PD121A - PD441

Are you sure you cannot find the extra width to fit the 444 instead of the 441?

Unlike my wide and deeper JVC Victor, It is slim and elegant looking,

and you can play with the dust cover up, or lift it fully off as my friend does and as I MUST do with my non-hinged, non-attached JVC Victor

Think long, I just changed from this

to this which gave me 3 removable headshells

Having both Stereo and Mono ready to go back and forth in seconds during a listening session is a real treat, and you can instantly compare two cartridges already in the groove, simply change the TT’s A/B switch (and any variation of phono or sut setting) (possibly also a volume adjustment needed to compare).

btw, the arm on the right is a JVC Victor 7082, I highly recommend it, and the common problem is easily fixed

The arm in the middle/back is Acos Lustre GST-801, awesome choice! I got it with help here, it is a 9" arm, the 9" version of my right side JVC 7082 is UA-7045. My left side arm is nothing special, except it's short counterweight length due to use of heavier Titanium.

Damn! thats some USS Enterprise deck right there hahah

Really dont have the space to swing a cat currently. So no 444 for me

What do you think of the 505MKII j arms?? ANd do they take a standard SME headshell?

All new to me

@chridabs 

The Micro Seiki arms are very nicely made, and setup is very easy with them.

With the 505 series there are S shaped arms that use standard SME headshell fittings. The straight arm versions have a fixed headshell, but you can swap out the arm-tube/headshell which is removable via a connector at the pillar end.

The 505mkiii is a low mass arm, the rest of the series are medium.

You can buy 441 armboards here

@dover 

Do all the Seiki 505s use the din to rca connectors?

And is the MK3 a good purchase in terms of options for carts in your opinion? The 441 come with an TP-MT mount. The 505 MKIII should fit correct? Although it looks a little chunkier than the J arm one. Uggh Its so hard to find info on this arm!

Again, pretty new to all this stuff. Learning as I go. So dont want to make a major mistake in buying the wrong thing. 

Very much appreciated 

Do all the Seiki 505s use the din to rca connectors?

As far as I know yes.

And is the MK3 a good purchase in terms of options for carts in your opinion?

I had one and it was great, even though low mass Gallibrier demoed a 505mkIII with a low compliance Denon 103 at a show and it was fine.

The only thing to be wary of is that this model is less common and spare arm tubes are hard to find. Japan auction sites are best here. The mkII and mkIII arm tubes are not compatible.

The 441 come with an TP-MT mount. The 505 MKIII should fit correct? 

Yes.
