Technics pressure guage. these often go for silly money...this might yet
This TT has been reduced a few times and is now cheap enough.. think the arm looks to be worth the asking price alone
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2519785114...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
...and this cart keeper is cool, think Marco may fancy this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2519854549...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I reckon this is terrific. If I could get a ninth TT past Ronnie, I would go for this just for the looks. Never seen the like before.Quote:

In Switzerland.
Worth a go for you Geoff it it doesn't go mental
In this auction a vintage AR model W stereo receiver this is a perfect example the only downside is the case is missing.
Well, I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation.
Is one to presume he threw the case away, with both care and enthusiasm?Quote:
rare to find in this condition this was previously owned by a careful Hifi enthusiast who kept it in a console hence no case.
I have a Fidelity Research K-5 cartridge keeper; expensive but the best there is:Quote:

Similar sound on a somewhat smaller scale! Very nice.Quote:

A suitable rival to the EMT 948/950: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TELEFUNKEN...3D151716252679 .
Would be interesting to see how much it goes for, bearing in mind the high shipping costs.
Rare & rather nice, but the shipping kills it for anybody here (unless cash is no object).Quote:

More than £75 (and that for a time warp museum piece) you'd have to have your head examined.
Think the average bay price varies from 35 to 125 depending but one very recently went for 220 untested.
This is an induced magnet type cartridge, but can to all intents and purposes be regarded as MM, as the basic principle is similar. Yes the Mission 774 (original version) works with the ADC 25. I've just been using my similar ADC 26 in a 774. Very fine it sounds. In my view, next to the Deccas, the ADCs are about as good as non MC carts get. I've not heard a Decca I'd call superior, they are just different sounding.Quote:

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 :)

Yes I saw that. I have my doubts. It looks as though a thinner cantilever tube has been shanked into the cut off stub of the original. The interface where the two tubes meet will produce an unpredictable effect on the signal. Possibly a peak or dip in response.Quote:
