    Inner groove distortion, caused by cartridge or tonearm mounting?

    I have a luxman pd-121a that I have mounted a jelco sa-350 tonearm on. I have mounted this arm slightly to far to the bottom left. I was able to correct this by mounting the cartridge further back on the headshell and using a protractor this seems to be ok calibration wise. However the turntable...

    Sales numbers on the last jelco arms? (ts-350 to ts-950 mk 1 and 2)?

    I have been reading up on jelco arms the last few weeks and one thing I noticed is that for a company that was as established in the audio world as jelco, finding specifications on especially their newer arms is very difficult. I have seen conflicting information on these arms in terms of their...

    High compliance cartridge recommendations for jelco ts-350s arm? (Under 500 usd)

    I just recently put together a turntable and though I initially had a shure m97x cartridge mounted I went back to a Stanton 681 eee due to some minor sonic issues with the m97x (had some trouble getting it adjusted so probably caused by that.) I really like the stanton 681 eee but I would like...

    Jelco TK-850s tonearm on my SL-1200MK5 (w/ audio samples)

    Hi there! :) I thought it was time for me to install a Jelco TK-850s tonearm on my SL-1200MK5. The superseded tonearm was a KAB modded and rewired Technics tonearm, so it wasn't in its original form. The armboard chosen is sold by Ammonite Audio, as well as the improved mounting collar. It's...

    Price check on JVC QL5 with Jelco arm

    Hello, I was looking around for a turntable and while buying a preamp the guy mentioned he was selling his prized TT. I didn’t get the specific arm model, but this dude is into some pretty high end stuff. Here’s some photos he texted me:

    AR-branded Jelco SA-250ST vs. new TK-850S?

    I've been using a "stock" arm on my AR The Turntable since I bought the turntable new, 35 years ago... I've been wanting to upgrade the arm for a long time, but now, in researching, I've learned that the existing arm is actually a made-to-spec Jelco SA-250ST. However.. correct me if I'm wrong...

    New cartridge suggestions

    Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade soon, and it's been difficult getting good information on cartridge/tonearm matching. Ultimately, I'm looking for a LOMC that would work well with a Jelco TK-850S tonearm (effective mass of 13.4g) and a Tavish Design Adagio phono stage. The turntable is a heavily...

    Issues with skipping on inner grooves and dead wax.

    Hey everyone. I just upgraded from a Jelco SA-750D to a TK-850S and I'm running into a problem. Since installing the new arm a couple days ago, I've found that records are prone to skipping in the inner grooves. Also, rather than tracking through the run off toward the label, the stylus jumps...

    New tonearm for Thorens TD-125 Mk-II: Pro-Ject 9cc or Rega RB303 or Jelco SA250ST

    I am looking for an under $500 budget tonearm. My current arm is a Grace G-707 which is in excellent condition and sound very good to me. I am just wanting to experience something more modern (?) and different. The cartridge is Dynavector Karat Ruby 23R. Any advise based on first hand experience...

    Cartridge Choices

    So, after finally getting the Technics 1210MK2 I've wanted for so long, I come to find out my new-to-me deck has a busted tonearm. Go figure! Thankfully this gave me a new reason to start the process of upgrading my deck, one piece at a time. I went through and ordered a Jelco SA750D as well as...
