KlipschLife Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi, I'm getting into my turntable again! I have over 100 LP's.:eek: : Would these Jico's work with my Shure M104E cartridge? If not which one would go with it? Also any sibilance associated with them? I have a Technics 1200 rebranded AudioTek Manual turntable. I also have a Technics Direct Drive SL-QD2 with a Audio-technica AT 92ECD connected to my Onkyo TX 707 receiver. My main problem is sibilance with both. I also have a Shure M97xE, but looking for a cheaper option with the other cartridges with Jico. Looking at these: http://www.lptunes.com/Jico-S-A-S-replacement-for-Shure-N110HE-stylus-p/eshn110hesas.htm or http://www.lptunes.com/Jico-S-A-S-replacement-for-Shure-N110HE-stylus-p/eshn110hesas.htm or http://www.turntableneedles.com/N110HE--our-Shibata-Needle-776-DSH-for-Shure-M110HE-Cartridge_p_3973.html or http://www.turntableneedles.com/AT92E-Cartridge-wHyperElliptical-JICO-Brand-Needle_p_4081.html Also is this the cheapest place to get these needles? I also want to make sure they are not fake Jico. I'm getting Sibilance with most of my LP's. That's why I'm looking at other carts. I'm tracking them on what it says on the box and setup the turntable anti-skating too on my Belt drive TT. I also have a Direct drive and the same thing happens. I looked at youtube and mostly tried what they said. and to no avail. I have Shure M97XE, M104E and AT 92ECD cartridges. Taking suggestions as well. Thank In advance!

thebes Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 If you are getting sibilance on two different turntables using various carts, you don't need another needle or cart, because the problem is elsewhere, most likely the preamp phono section. See if you can borrow another preamp/receiver whatever and see what happens. That's the most likely culprit. Secondly, overhang, balance, anti-skate, tracking force etc. can also cause sibilance, but not over all of the carts you own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ69 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Be sure to put the needle firmly into the groove. With your set-up that would be 2 grams minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 There's a lot more to setting up an arm/cartridge than getting the tracking force (downward pressure of the stylus on the record) right. Do a search, there is a ton of info on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
