    Ortofon AS212 Effective Mass

    Hi everyone! I’m considering buying an Ortofon AS-212 tonearm to replace the original tonearm on my Lenco L75. I’d like to use it with either a Nagaoka MP-300 or MP-500, and from what I understand those cartridges work best with a tonearm effective mass of no more than 12g. According to the...

    Medium compliance cart on low mass tonearm?

    The JVC l-a31 turntable I bought came installed with an at95e cartridge. I've been having a lot of fun getting it cleaned and fully working, but sometimes I feel like there's something missing in the sound. From what I've read, the JVC l-a31 has a low-mass tonearm, while the at95e cartridge is...

    ADC ZLM - will it match with any of these tables/arms I have?

    Just picked up an ADC ZLM with what looks like a fair amount of tip left on it. Would love to try it out, but after reading about its delicate suspension I'm not sure if I have a match in tables/arms (I have a bunch of tables, including now the Miida T-3115 table this was mounted on). All of...

    AT-VM95ML SRA and Compliance Qs

    I recently bought an AT-VM95ML mainly to improve my inner groove distortion that I found present on brand new records with my previous elliptical (Clearaudio Concept MM v1). I aligned it in Lofgren A, and it has done that job very well, so overall I'm happy. Now that I have my setup in a better...

    Hanna EH MC cart for Sony PS X7?

    I am still a little fuzzy on compliance and carts and tone arms. I have done some Googling and searches in this forum but have not found enough to know how to decide if the Hanna EH MC would be a good fit with my Sony. Yes, it’s listed in BT. Any education and opinions would be greatly...

    Trying to understand compliance/tonearm weight (RE: choosing between carts for my Technics SL-Q202)

    Hello! So I recently peeked my head back into the world of Vinyl (after some clueless experimentation a number of years ago). This is my first time trying to educate myself enough to "do things right," and I could really use some help as the minutia of this stuff can get overwhelming pretty...

    Shure MT-100e With Sansui FR-3060?

    Just purchased a NOS still in the box MT-100e. I didn't find much on it, but I understand it's a pretty decent cart with the words laid back, flat and musical tossed around. Before I open the box when it arrives, what is your opinion of it's compatibility with my table's tone arm? The manual...

    New cart for PS-X50

    Hey all, I have a PS-X50 with the PUA-7 tonearm. Can't find any info in the manual or online about the mass of this tonearm, though I have read threads that say it's a moderate-to-high-mass. I'm currently looking for a good cart for it and I'm trying to match compliance pretty well. Looking...

    Audio Technica AT-15SS beryllium cantilever assembly repair: success!

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Some of you might know this vintage AT cartridge series, a great MM design with a beryllium cantilever and super tiny shibata that's rare as hen's teeth. Imagine my dismay when, during an attempt to correct what looked like a slightly off-center rotation of...

    How to read a compliance formula

    Hi group, I'm looking for a lower compliance cartridge, and I'm currently looking at a Denon DL103r. I don't understand how to interpret the stat: 5x10-6cm/dyne Does this mean the compliance is 5? Also, being a Japanese cartridge, I understand you need to multiply to number by 1.75 to get a...

    Denon DP-47F with Nagaoka MP110

    Hi, Do any of you have any experience with the Nagaoka MP110 on the Denon DP-47F? I had my mind set on this cartridge until I learned (a bit) about tonearm mass and compliance. The Denon DP-47F has a low mass tonearm with Q-damping. As I understand it, you have to use a high compliance...
