what arm for kiseki agate ruby?
Thanks for the insight Lespier. By the way I think you have the most impressive system that I have seen on this site in years, because you had courage to invest in diy all the way. It looks awesome. Love the diy tables. I am going to try the Kisek... 
what arm for kiseki agate ruby?
Thanks Viridian! It is a red herring!! Based on the specs it screams low mass, but the problem is not many low mass arms (back then) could handle a 11.2 gram cartridge. Right now I have an Audiocraft AC-300 that could work but not worthy of such a... 
Preferences for which Integrated Amp?
Thanks everyone for the responses!! Sorry for the late reply, Audiogon was not showing the this thread that I initiated. I am leaning towards the Ayre, because of the passive, rep., build quality, and its serviceable by Ayre in the U.S. I just tra... 
Kiseki = what to do?
Thanks for the info. I have checked out vinyl engine already I just find it interesting that half of the cartridges have a compliance of 20 and the other 6. 
Kiseki = what to do?
Thanks everyone for the responses, I really appreciate the help. I did some research on the cartridge and it looks to be quite good. The specs on the compliance seemed to be confusing though. Can't wait to hear it. Is anyone familiar with the Kise...

Phduncon,I thought an indicator of higher compliance was a lower tracking force? So if the retip lowers the tracking force doesn't that raise the compliance? Not being well versed I think I am missing something obvious or key to the conversion.Any... 
Denon DL-103 "one of the...."
No one claimed to be an "expert" just fans. I'm simply impressed by this "old style" cart and how long its lasted and still purchased by many still. I took my "gear chip" off my shoulder along time ago, because I don't have the money to be conside... 
Denon DL-103 "one of the...."
I agree with MattMiller and Vridian, along with having the same positive attachment to this cartridge as everyone else. Matt isn't wrong with how the compliance and stylus can be a drag, but in regards of what Vridian posted, when following the ca... 
threshold fet 10 pc or CJ Motif MC-8
Thanks for the responses. The interest was for use as a phono stage. Right now I am using a luxman l58a through its tape outs as a phono stage into my Exposure 2010s. I just happen to see these both for sale locally and thought it might be an affo... 
Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California
I talk to Brian earlier this year when I bought a TT from him. I have been going there for the last 3 years. We always talk because maybe because were the same age, but really he is an honest nice guy. He was very busy and stressed and half of tha... 
Downgrade Suprise?
Another downgrade surprise for me was a ADC PSX-40. The body is a p-mount with a standard mount adapter. Some guy gave it to me when I bought an old turntable awhile back. I needed a backup cart and something to play less than stellar records. The... 
Downgrade Suprise?
Those anticables sound interesting, mmmmm.....Yes, my original post kind of points to a company that really knows its engineering over its' marketing. Another example is that I have a TD-124 with Denon 103-LC mounted on a ESL-2000,a tonearm that m... 
Downgrade Suprise?
I use an Exposure 2010s or a vintage Luxman L58a. I will also be pairing an Exposure XVII with a gainclone at 50 watts for experimentation. 
Micro Seiki Parts-Headshells in particular
If anyone has schematics for the headshell or in particular the dimensions of it especially the inside connector I have access to a CNC and laser cutter and would like to make a prototype.
