Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion
Sharpe,Maybe that is the bottom line. The Technics is so easy to use and so easy to change records that I don't mind going through several records at a time. The VPI took too much effort to use with the wobbly arm, wierd rubber belt and clamp. As ...

Sharpe,The JWM9 is a different arm. Fine adjustment on the balance is difficult as the weigth slides along the arm instead of screwing. I am not claiming that the Technics is the end all in TT's, but playing music is a breeze. With the VPI, the ri...

If you are looking for a comparison, I like the Technics more than my old VPI Scout/JWM9/Dynavector 20x. Here is why:Out of the box, the Technics feels like it in a thoroughly engineered product. The VPI, with its separate motor assembly (which ha...

Drubin,Probably not. But, I had a VPI Scout and Dynavector 20x cart (high output) and was not blown away by it. It was a toss up between that and my CD player so I sold the VPI. At this price point, I don't mind playing around. I'll let you know w...

I just picked up an AT 440 MLa from an Audiogon member. I'll have to give it a try. So the AT 440 is bright, doesn't kind of defeat the purpose of analog?

Well,I ordered the table. Musicians Friend has the SL1210MK2 on sale for $399 shipped plus a $35 rebate. Not bad for $365 brand new in box. I just need a cart at this point.Is the Sumiko headshell a must have for the carts that I mentioned?

The AT 440 MLa is listed as out of stock on the lpgear website. The Denon Dl-110 and 160 with a Sumiko headshell seem to be the way to go. What about the DL 103 that is available for about $150. Is the 110 or 160 superior? 
Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion
A few questions. What has to be done to run a Denon DL 110, 160 or 103? Is the tonearm up to the task or does the headshell need to be replaced with a Sumiko for the extra weight?Same for the Sure. I've seen the Shure 97 for about $60 online. If t... 
Vintage Mcintosh Speakers - your thoughts?
Elvick,I think that I sold you a pair of Heresys on teh Klipsch Forums. Heresys are great speakers atthat price point. Chris 
klipsch speakers,be honest
Trippin,After years with JBL's I now have Klipschors, Belles, Heresys and an Academy. I have been on the Klipsch forum for about 4 years now and have modded my system and K Horns. They are great speakers but you, as you know, need to have a good s...
