???Cartridge break in???
Better to one might be different to someone else?  (grin) 
What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo
@chakster  Your  are correct.  It has been a while.  Our friend Nadric's comment sparked such a large smile from me I just had to reply.  It is those never ending magical  observations made from Mexico that has kept me away!  (grin)

Nandric Quote:   "There are even members who can imagine distortions in a system in Australia all the way from Mexico  "  You make me smile my dear brother.  (grin) 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lewm,  Damn,  life just sucks sometimes!  I say that with 'tongue in cheek'! (grin)We should all be so un-lucky!Regards!

Lewm, It has been a while since I have visited Halcros thread. You last post sort of flipped on the light bulb sort of to speak! I had honestly forgot that it was you that had that troublesome table that has been the main topic of discussion for t... 
Newbee help- Volume low even at full preamp volume-???
fluffers,If you have the Preamp outs connected to your Phono Pre, the Houston, we have a problem!  Turntable cable goes to the phono pre 'in'. The phono pre 'out' goes to the Preamp phono 'in'.  Preamp 'out' goes to the amp.

Lewm,  The thought of receiving a TT-101 with plinth and JVC 7045 for the price the arm alone is either a gift from 'heaven' ( if all is working), or a gift from 'hell' ( if the TT is not).  (grin)    Have you been following Halcro thread in regar...

Lewm,  My dear friend and comrade Nandric and I have had running arguments in regards to my love for the JVC 7045. He also has one that he hasn't found time to mount.  He's in love with his FR-64.  It was actually him that convinced me that perhap...

Flieb,  The Lustre has 4 high precision radial bearings which are super grind-finished.  There are 2 vertical and 2 horizontal.  What makes then really unique is that they are spaced farther apart than usual for a tone arm for better angle accurac...

Flieb,  I would not consider a 30cu as 'pretty high'.  That is 'extremely high'! (grin)Like I said, all depends on where you want to draw the line between what you consider 'high' and what you consider 'low'.  To me, under 10 is low.  Yes, Dover. ...

Hi Dover, To call the FR’s or my Ikeda a ’high compliance’ cartridge will depend upon where you draw the line between what you consider ’high’ and what you consider ’low’. If you throw in the mix ’medium compliance’ everything changes again. My pr...

Your cartridge output is only 0.42 milivolts.  If you are using the 12UA7 tube, then perhaps you are not getting enough gain.  Switch out the supplied 12UA7 tube with the supplied 12AX7 tube to get an additional 15 dbs of gain.  That will allow yo...

Flieb,To use the Lustre, the operator is not aware of it being regarded as a heavy arm.  It does not look like a heavy arm but the arm tube 'is' Stainless Steel where as the Grahams are Aluminum or Ceramic and the JVC's are also of Aluminum mix.  ...

Flieb,    I have settled on the Lustre 801 for my JVC TT-81 over the JVC 7045.  This is not because one is better than the other.  But because the JVC 7545 has no advantage over my other arm.  the Graham 2.2.  The Lustre 801 does.  The Graham by t...
