Stevensen is the "standard" Technics alignment. Wot:confused:, you telling me that the lovely feickert alignment tool I snagged of ebay is no funkicg good? :lolsign:. I too don't like the letting it all hang out appearance. After the hols and a few :cool:, I'll get it sorted. Is there a downloadable Stevensen guage for the Technics, or at least for a 215mm arm ?Quote:

Have you looked on the cartridge database online for it ?
I found my Coral there and the Zenn i once had, good website for rare and mystery carts.
Just been wondering how long it will be before KAB start making a 3 piece weight, or some other outfit with a CNC turret lathe.:(
John,
Well I'm in fairly regular contact with Kevin and he's, shall we say, all too aware of your C/W shenanigans ;)Quote:

Shall I put him off somehow? :lol:
Marco.
P.S Peter, I'll come back to you later.
Maybe you could knock-off some of these John:

E-mailed him (http://home.comcast.net/~omaille/anumber1/brass.html) but no reply. So we can all 'nude' our DL103s :) !!! Would look the nuts too with a brass C/W at the other end.
When I exchanged a few emails with Kevin (KAB) about various things including the counterweight, he seemed pretty indifferent THB. I'm sure he would be shocked if he was to hear one of our super modded 1210's with SDS, Achromat, Thru's special C/W and heavy headshell/leads etc. I know Marco would take things even further with uber mains jack etc.

So whats Kevins take on them Marco ?, i doubt it will make a dent in his standard c/w sales.
Maybe i should think about a "deluxe version" and make them all slightly unique.:eyebrows:
Nice!Quote:

I had a very interesting conversation with the fella at Expert Stylus Co the other day, they are going to be releasing their super 103 soon, with brass fixtures to facilitate better headshell coupling and mass together with a sapphire cantilever and fancy stylus. Aparently a Swiss recording engineer with a penchant for expensive Koetsu's (8k Jade) sampled one and got back on the phone and ordered 3, whilst waxing lyrical. I'm in the q for one of these bad boys :eyebrows:
I too had a a conversation with him :) i was making enquiries about my coral, he told me the story with the 103 too, he said they were doing something with Benz also.Quote:

Ah, but you're not in the secret cabal ;)Quote:

Kevin is also a MM cart fan. He's not big on coils, so different rules apply.
Marco.
I`m just waiting for the didactics on another forum to post.
" counterweights! can they make a difference ?"
Lets hope there are some "true counterweight believers" there.:sofa:
