    Muffled sound on 70's Sony with tape from 90's Pioneer

    Recently I acquired a Pioneer CT-S810S 3 head cassette deck. After replacing the belts I made a recording on a TDK-SA90 with auto BLE without any Dolby. I must admit that I am quite impressed with the sound quality. There are more highs in the recording than I ever had on a cassette. Difference...

    Cantilever not parallel with cartridge body

    Hey guys. I had my Koetsu cartridge cleaned up and re-tipped. Things looked and sounded fine when I went to pick it up from the shop that fixed it. After looking at things more closely when I got home though, I noticed that the cantilever appears to be askew from the cartridge body itself...

    SME 3009 Series ii FIXED HEADSHELL...is wobbly

    Hi folks, I have a SME 3009 series ii tonearm with a non-removable headshell. The headshell pivots inside the end of the arm, pivoting both clockwise and counter-clockwise, throwing the azimuth off. I can't figure out how to tighten or secure it. There is a little screw on the underside of the...
