    Thorens TD150 MK 1 tp13 tonearm help

    Hi, I have a Thorens TD150 mki with the stock TP13 tonearm. It’s fitted with the Shure v15iii cart/stylus. For some reason I can hear every tap/touch of the tonearm itself. I’m wondering if anyone has had similar issues? Or might have an idea as to why this might be happening?

    SME 3009 s2 imp correct alignment

    I’ve just recently realized that my SME 3009 S2 imp may not have ever been properly set up. Is there a specific arc that the 3009s2 imp arm should be following? I have it set to the baerwald arc but have been reading in other posts that the correct arc is the Stevenson? The posts regarding...

    Distortion when playing lps, Shure V15 III plus Jico HE

    Hi all, I have a problem with distortion playing lps. Turntable is a Dual cs5000 with a vintage Shure V15 iii cart, Jico HE stylus. I tried the amplifier with another turntable and there was no problem, so it's not the phono stage. The distortion almost sounds like there's a glob of dust on the...

    Will Super Track Plus for V-15 Type iii fit a M55e (and/or M44e)?

    So I've got both an M55e and a M44e (both brown bodies) and I've got a VN35e Super Track Plus stylus - will the VN35e fit either of those? I'm assuming if it did, it would be a step up from the new 4759-DET stylus I have now correct?

    Keep the Shure V15 Type III or not?

    I am setting my hifi system back up after some absence of several years, refurbishing speakers, etc. I have a Technics SL-1200MK2 turntable, original arm, and a Shure V15 type III cartridge. Stylus is good (very little use since it was replaced by an OEM replacement.) I've read comments that...

    Should I pull the trigger on this Pioneer PL-630?

    So, bit of a weird story: I won a Goodwill auction on the Pioneer PL-630 pictured with what I am assuming is a Shure V15 III cartridge (no stylus but I have a NOS one already ;-)) but no dustcover for $360 including shipping. Being Goodwill, they only say "it powers on and the platter turns" so...

    Stylus Comparison: Jico Elliptical vs. Tonar Hyper-Elliptical in Shure V15-III

    [EDIT] Added links to uncompressed audio files When looking for a new stylus I found a lot of discussion about Elliptical vs. Hyper-Elliptical vs. Shibata vs. SAS etc. But no real evidence of the differences between the lot. Especially between cheap round/elliptical styli and the step up to a...

    The curious case of right channel low end rolloff - Dual 704 w/ Shure V15-III

    So I was busy recording some records when I noticed the waveform in my DAW was noticably bigger in the left channel. It seemed odd, because the stereofield sounded right; vocals/snare seemed centered and overall stereo image didn't seem off. I put an instance of iZotope's Imager on the track to...

    Replacing Shure V15 carts

    Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I could use some help. I have 2 TTs: An HK T60 with Shure V15 V cart (bought in the 80s) and an AR XA with Shure V15 Type III cart (from the 70s). As I understand it it (based on info from Shure) the suspension wears out/hardens after 10 years and the...
