technics sl7 vs sl10 PLEASE

[blackmagic]

Depends on which cart and which JVC.

jvc gl500,original cart

I took it to a pro,he said

"the motor doesn't work,try to fix it yourself"

There are specific requirements for a cartridge to be strictly T4P compliant. Not every P mount made is T4P compliant, some are adaptations of existing designs which need to be tracked at higher than T4P allowances or heavier than the standard. The Ortofon P mount moving coil and the Grado P mount are examples.

i can adjust tracking up to 1.5g for the grado on the sl7,

the big question is the distance between connectors and stylus !

IMPORTANT EDIT : when i changed original cart on my old sl-bd20 for a grado black,I took it to a pro (yeah,i know i'm lazy,and afraid of ruining my gear) he checked the size and everything,apparently only the weight was changed and he checked the stylus position with a special tool from pro-ject and it was ok,so apparently it will be ok,but i'll check again

Cartridge mass. The Grados are slightly heavier than spec, not too much.

on the sl7 the original cart is 6g,
the grado is 5.5 (pmount or not,from grado website)
and someone here said that the pmount grado was 6g

i'll have to find a kitchen scales to be sure

terrific sound even with a Technics P22 cartridge

I tested it with a 7" 33rpm side B of Quo's Rock and Roll comprising two tracks
(bought for 20p two years ago)
and it erases distortion on track 1 and about 75% on track 2 heard with a Technics Q2 (with Grado Gold cart)
it is amazing !

thanks for those who helped me on this one

edit : I compared the P22 with a Grado black,same size as for the stylus position,so for Grado > Pmount=T4P
