I need approx 30 minutes for an exchange of the pick up on my tonearm. I have a second tonearm pipe as well. The Micro Seiki MA 500 Tonearm allows to change the pipe , like others change their headshell. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 That's a bunch of cartridges! For me it's hard to find anything to follow RUSH with since they were such a big part of my life. Only have three left from the eighties so here is the next. Must not have even listened to these few since my rig has been able to play down to 18hz. BIG difference with these synthesizers and keyboards! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You already answered and I do understand You must know that I "only" own one record player and that I have owned it for 38 years now. Of course I have collected many cartridges over the years, if a needle was played I let it retipping, also with the MC's. The second MA 500 Tonearm Pipe..I bought from a Japanese distributor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This was the last of the new age RUSH that I ever bought, heard some others that I kind of liked. But their 70s music is what I loved them for. Case Closed! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 That was enough of one of my still top three favorite bands for a while. All of us from a certain couple of generations know this one. Even if I was in the first grade in `69 this was still on the airwaves ten years later! Another of those cubed covers! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KROCK Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 When reading about carts for the 1200, the 150 mlx went perfect with the stock arm. If I recall , I was looking into the AT 95s, but the replacement stylus were scarce, so I went with the 150 & the backup stylus. Maybe I should look into the Ortofon 40 replacement before the go out of control. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
