Jelco 750d

There you go. The 774 is definitely a bit special. The best arm in the world? Probably not, but it still amazes me with the sound it can deliver. I had an upgraded Rega RB300 on a Techie a few years ago and thought my ZYX R100 H sounded pretty fine in that combo. Bunged the 774 (which had been having a rest) on the Techie and was blown away with how the sound opened up, tightened up and smoothed out. Needless to say, the RB300 was soon gone. (followed by the Techie, as it didn't measure up to the SR-370).

Hi Oliver,

I have owned both the 9inch and 12inch Jelco arms along with the Mission, keep the Mission is my advice as it is a great all round arm and will work with a wide range of cartridges.

Fine ! Lol. Ye I'm gonna get it serviced/repaired by J7. The right channel keeps dropping out so I'm gonna get a professional to give it the once over then I'm just gonna listen.

Get Johnnie to rewire with Ikeda silver wire. Made a big improvement to my ears. Or better still, buy a 12" wand from ebay and have that wired. That's my next plan. I have the wand, just need to send it off.

A couple of years ago I bought a 12" arm tube for the Mission and it worked very nicely with a Zu Denon so if you really want my opinion, convert your 774 to a 12" 774.

Did you find the 12" wand a big improvement?

I'm assuming the 12" arm would need to be fitted into separate pod/plinth for a 1210?

I always expect a 12" arm to be a big improvement but in truth I'd say it was a subtle improvement - less surface noise, less inner groove distortion but a properly set up 9" arm is not far off.

That's a bit too expensive at the minute for me so I may hang on until funds permit.
