Whats the difference between the original and the lc version compliance wise Geoff.
You had me baffled there for a minute Grant.
I take it you are referring to the Mission 774 arms. There are three versions (that I know of).
The original British made 774, low mass & optional fluid damping. Can be used with cartridges of virtually any compliance depending on damping setup.
Then the 774 LC, a low/medium mass Japanese made and not in the same league at all. More or less equivalent to Linn LV-X. Suited to medium compliance carts.
Lastly there's the (British made I believe) 774 SM/Mechanic arm, a close relative of the Zeta arm and heftily engineered, but not without problems apparently. I've heard of bearing troubles, but a good one is approaching SME V levels of performance. Suited to lowish compliance carts.
Needless to say the original (John Bicht) version is my choice. It just sounds excellent no matter what type or model of cartridge I install. From my ultra high compliance ADCs to low compliance ZYXs. I just use (if required) the appropriate level of damping.
thought that but wanted to be sure. Ask after; ask to late .cheers :)
