Reviving this thread...

Reviving this thread with my latest acquisition. Spinning Brothers in Arms, pure bliss

Even has Pickering headshell wires for that extra touch of authenticity :yes:

Well, since I've got a new deck and a cartridge:

I felt so fortunate to have got the original anti-skating weight. A lot of secondhand decks often miss this little piece which can be a bummer.

Yamaha MC-21. Apparently a HOMC. I saw someone said it's not a v good cart but the marriage between this cartridge and my GT-750 (which is incestuous!) is like a good glass of Shiraz and lamb cutlet!

That's one beautiful, somewhat cyber-punk like cart. What does it sound like?

Man this is a great thread. Lots of stuff I'll never ever own. So, to represent the cheap end of the spectrum.....

.....on the Denon DP-300F arm....

It sounds excellent though it needs a very high gain stage or SUT as its output is so low at 0.12mV. The Soundsmith retipped FR MC 201 on an Ittok sounds even better to my ears, comparable to the Ortofon MC3000 mk2 on the same arm.

0.12mV, that's one genuine L.O.M.C.! :thmbsp:

Audio Technica AT 37E cartridge (the little brother of the legendary AT1000) - It has a frequency response of 10-50000 Hz and an output of 0.1mV only.

Wow... some amazing cartridge/arms and dito photography! :thmbsp:

Here's my shot, and yes, that's dust on the needle...

No Lyra deserves that!:nono::nono: Invest in a Magic Eraser!

Rega P2 w/ Audio Technica AT7V. Sounds great to me!

Geeez, what vinyl records are capable of 10-50000 Hz? That's an impressive spec. And that's only a 'little brother'??

More importantly, what ears? I imagine all the neighbourhood dogs appreciate that 50000Hz.
