Vintage and Classic Turntables

I love ADC's with a passion. MY 26 just doesn't like most arms so it's retired right now and even the XLM mk1's wobble a fair bit. The MK2 is better and the III and Phase IV's I have are perfect for me. They just seem to make the musical best of the records they play and into modern or decent vintage phono stages, surface noise is never an issue. Even my ZLM seems fine and just a little crisper up top over the sweet XLM series. The V15 III may be technically more truthful, but the non 'HE' models don't arf make an issue of badly cut and pressed 1970's vinyl and sound edgy with it sometimes.. The HE was in a different league but this stylus (VN35HE)wasn't available in the UK for very long.

Hi Stewart
You should be able to upgrade that Styli to 'XLZ' Status..

So do I Dave. It's amazing that these forty to fifty year old cartridges still work, let alone outperform many modern MCs.

Mind you some of the MCs from the late sixties are not to be sniffed at. The old Micro Seikis and Ortofons are still lovely.
