As Peter Walker once said: wire is wire! (just kidding!), a weight is a weight!
I set azimuth with a perspex block with a pattern edged in it...

I have the Kuzma ebony clamp (horrendously expensive), the Stillpoints LP1 (bought used, but still expensive) and the mentioned £40 weight and the difference (if any) is very small. Maybe the Oyaide...

I think most of us have a lot of experience with warped records (insufficient cooling time after pressing, foil packing of the new record too tight…). These warps are most of the times not...

They are NOT. The design of the Oyaide mats is intentionally „dished“ and they must be used with a weight to allow even „dished“ records to lay in full contact with the mat.
After all the BR 12...

Imho this is complete the opposite! A spherical stylus has a very small contact area versus a more elaborate profile like fineline microridge or shibata. So the skating force which is a function of...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! :):)

What about the grease used in the VTA adjustment of the original,Technics arm?

Here is the link: https://www.radfordrevival.co.uk/

It‘s a Glanz MH 94s.
The grease was also on the original tonearm of a Technics 1200G.
I think it‘s there for lubrication of the counterweight when it is moved for downforce adjustment.

Can someone help me please!
Most tonearm counterweights are on a stub with a generous amount of grease (which I think helps to reduce „ringing“).
Does anybody know which sort of grease can be used?

But the Allegri + is a mighty fine pre“amp“. Costs a lot less and „sounds“ absolutely gorgeous!
Playing Linda Ronstadt at the moment :wow:

And IMHO an unnecessary one as the innards (autoformers) are as I guess the same and all the money goes into the fancy clothings!

I also think the 40 Stylus is a bargain! I fitted it to a (secondhand) Concorde pro S and got an enormously enjoyable sound.

I bought a (standard) EMT 929 years ago from https://www.fabtech.de/en_own-products_tone-arms.html and it was very good. He offers each variation of the arm including 12inch.

I‘m using the german made Eternal Arts OTL https://audioclassica.de/de/EternalArts-OTL-Mark-2.html into my QUAD ESL 57 QA https://www.quad-musik.de/index.php/de/produkte/elektrostaten/esl57-qa and...

Love it!

I use a Townshend Allegri+ http://www.townshendaudio.com/allegri/ into an Eternal Arts OTL http://www.audioclassica.de/de/EternalArts-OTL-Mark-2.html and get the best sound I ever had at home!

It seems there is no earth connection between your tonearm and the turntable chassis (no metal to metal contact). You could try an easy experiment: Take a unused cinch cable, press the center pin...

You don't need an earthing cable at the tonearm side if it is terminated with a 5 pin din connector. The earth connection is included!

Sold!

+1 for the Glanz. I‘m enjoying my Glanz with a SPU 95 Anniversary. Every SPU I tried so far (GM MkII, GME MkII, Meister Silver) sang it‘s heart out mounted on the Glanz.
If someone wants to know...

Hi Alok
Currently I‘m at work so I cannot look into the manual if the PSU is a universal one (chances are good since it is a switch mode PSU).
BUT have you considered that you have to pay customs,...
