    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...

    Which new cartridge?

    Hello there, I do have a new Rega P2 with a Rega Preamp (mm)... Of course de Carbon is not what I'm looking for at all. I do listen the 70's & 80's... I do like clarity and the bass. What you recommend? Best!

    Hi. I have a Shure M55 with an original Shure nude elliptical which despite its age looks to be in excellent condition under the microscope. The turntable is a Systemdek II with a serviced Linn Akito arm. It sounds really good! My only concern is that resolution and detail retrieval in mids...

    Headshell/alignment advice

    Hello all, I am coming back to my old Technics SL-1200 (MK2) deck after keeping it in a box under the bed for a few years. It’s still in great condition, and I’d like to bring out its potential a bit more, and listen to my records again. This was all kicked off by me recently acquiring my...

    Nagaoka MP-110

    Just received last night. During installation saw that the pins off the back of the cartridge are smaller than normal. Had to deform the lead ends of my wires to fit. Also seems really hard to set up on my turntable. Anyone else ever have these issues?

    I decided to try a Nagaoka MP-500H on one of my Technics SL-1200Gs. I purchased the combination package that includes a Nagaoka headshell with the cartridge pre-mounted. When I went to mount this combination to the tonearm, I had to use the large accessory counterweight to balance the arm for...

    Nagaoka MP-30 retip success!

    It's been a while since I've attempted a homebrew retip. It is time. Muahahaha! So, I've had this MP-30 for a while. Three years maybe? When I first got it, the suspension was shot. It sounded horrible, sagged and and dragged it's belly after about 30 seconds in the groove. I WD-40'd it, and it...

    Is Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge good for Jazz?

    I am ready to buy a Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge for my Technics SL-1200. I intend to use it mostly to listen to Jazz, and then some classical and Folk. I have read in AK that the Nagaoka MP-110 tracks extremely well. I would love a very warm, rich, intimate sound. Almost as if I had the singer...

    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...
